About me:

There are two sides to me. The artistic, and the technical. The artisitc side of me loves photography and theatre, and the technical side of me loves astronomy and technology. Asides from that, I'm also trying to tackle guitar and piano. Guitar I've become pretty good at, and piano I hope to start learning next semester. I love taking on the outdoors, specifically mountain biking, hiking, and geocaching. Fishing sometimes. :) It all mixes very well with camping. Also I've gotten into working on this road bike that was left in the scene shop at Delta. So fast, crazy, and fun.

Photography is one of my biggest interests, though I haven't had too much time to do much of it lately with school, work, and theatre. I spent three years doing black and white darkroom photography, and have been doing digital photography alongside that the whole. I'm currently looking to set up a darkroom at my house - I have the equipment to do it - but that's a project for another time. Some of my pictures for those who want to see can be found at my flickr account. It's just the tip of the iceberg as most of what's on there is digital.

Theatre's pretty big too now, and much like photography I enjoy combining the artistic and technical sides of it. I've worked with kids for as long as I can remember, but most of the theatre-related things have been during the past couple of years. Lately I've done a lot of stuff with Kudos Childrens Theatre, Don Riggio School. Right now working on Kudos's Botan and possibly Kudos' Children of the West at UoP, though it's still in the air. Also I've been getting involved a lot at SJ Delta College's theater as well which is different in many ways.
