My Personality Summary

In an effort to make it look like I'm sharing with you all, I went to this site Personality Book, and on a whim, filled out the little survey. However, I didn't feel like paying any money to get the "100 page Personality Report", so I only filled out the freebie. Here's what it says about me...

Your Personality Type

You are an optimist who is often more focused on the past and the future than the present moment. You have an active imagination. You have good hunches and intuitions and people notice that.

Your Motto

"I want to discover the truth in life."

How You Work Best

You work best in cooperative, harmonious environments. Competition, a rushed pace, and a strict format for communication don't work well for you. Your strength is your open-mindedness. Your Achilles heel is that you are sometimes too hard on yourself.

Your Life Situation

You are not fully satisfied with your current life situation. It is in your own hands though to change this. Every day you have the opportunity to improve your life situation by making decisions that suit your personality best.

So, is the summary right? Is it wrong? Only I know for sure!! Haha!!! :)

Hi, my name is Mark Urbanski. Thanks for checking out my site!! Well, I’ve been a self-taught amateur manga (japanese comics) artist since 1993. I’ve dabbled in graphic design since 1999, and photography since 2004. I live here in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada (northwestern Ontario, for those who aren’t sure where Thunder Bay is). Currently, I’m a sales associate at Sears, with over 14.5 years of retailing experience (though not all of it from Sears). I’m very single (!!!) and stuff.... Well, you just got more out of me than if you actually spent any time with me in real life, wow!! hehehe.

about my photography...

A lot of photographers like to process their photos in such a way, that the resulting photo looks like an embellished version of what the original shot must have looked like when they originally took it. Little things like saturating the colors, burning and dodging certain areas to enhance and improve the aesthetics of the photo, etc.

I have no trouble whatsoever with any of that, but I have no intentions at the present to do any of that with my photography, at least not to any great extent. When you look at my photos, it's 96-98% real, and 2-4% embellishment. So basically, what you see, is what I saw. Simple as that :) !

Not sure what else to put here right now, this will probably evolve into some sort of FAQ in the future. So if there's something you think I should put here, let me know!!
