I was fortunate to receive my first real camera at fourteen — a basic manual film Pentax. I won a couple awards in the California State Fair shortly after. Photography has been a hobby and occasional professional tool for me since then, with nature being my primary interest. The images below link to galleries with some of my photos.
Poetry
My college years were filled with intense intellectual fascination and introspection. I wrote a lot of poetry at the time — while building a (now retired) online platform for people to manage and share their writing. I've included a small collection of my poems here.
