I'm a student at University of California, Santa Cruz. Majoring in Literature, with a focus in Creative Writing.

San Francisco is my favorite place in the world- it's home.

I can't say photography is my life, because it's just my hobby. It makes me happy though. I like to celebrate the ordinary and to keep photos of places I go, things I've tried, people I've met, friends I've grown closer with. I like to celebrate the extraordinary beauty in everyday things, to show people that this is what I see.

I take photos with a Nikon D80, primarily. My lens bag includes:
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 10.5 f/2.8G DX
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G DX
Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D
Nikon AF DC-Nikkor 135mm f/2D
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G VR II
Nikon Micro Nikkor 200mm f/4D
Lensbaby 3G (now referred to as the "Control Freak")

As for film, I shoot medium format film on a Hasselblad 500C/M with a Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8 lens.
