On Photography: Photography is a versitile medium. It is a way to document the world around you, yet a single, or series of pictures, can be used to manipulate the raw information the camera receieves through its sensors much in the same way your brain filters information recieved through your senses. Using a camera, you can capture a moment in time, but at the same time, you manipulate the content, knowingly or not, you choose what the camera sees. Through framing and filters and adjustments and tweaks, you can take a raw image of a single moment in time and, de-emphasizing content for composition, turn the mundane into something more. Additionally, now more than ever, photography is universal. From snapshots to masterpieces, photography binds our experiences and brings us together.
Cameras Used: Presently, I use a Fujifilm FinePix E550 digital camera, and use an hp iPAQ h6315 as my mobile phone. While it has an awful 0.3 MP resolution, I use this cameraphone only on occassion.
Creative Commons License: Most of my photos are licensed under an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license. While you may use my photos, and high-resolution versons are available uppon request, I ask only that you explain how you plan to use these photographs, credit me, and retain the same Creative Commons license on all derivative work. Please note that this clicense specifically forbids commercial usage.
High-resolution Downloads: While my photos are sized 800x600 by default to save space/bandwidth, high-resolution photos are available upon request via Flickr Mail. Note: Most photos taken in 2005 are 6.3MP resolution; photos prior to that are only 2.0MP.
I'm Male and Single.

I hear that "life" thing is kind of hip these days. I keep up to date by following the blogosphere. I manage to find a way to listen to music almost constantly,
be it in the form of internet radio,
on my computer,
on my PDA,
in my linux box in my car,
or at work. Just as long as it's not on commerical radio. Movies and books are also great,
but unfortunately because I'm always doing something else,
I haven't seen a film or read a book lately,
I need to work on that.
