CURRENT MISSION

I've been trying to overcome my fears lately.

ABOUT ME

My mind fills its spare time coming up with ideas. Most of them are a bit harebrained, but I try to keep track of them all. Sometimes thoughts come up more than once. Those thoughts manifest through photography and radio, mostly.

I live to learn, and love to live.

PHILOSOPHY

It's important to be curious when approaching the things that bother us.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I had a really amazing cat growing up. He was self conscious about his name, "Peaches." You see, he didn't grow up in a town that was accepting of anything even a touch flamboyant. Despite his insecurities, Peaches and I were best of friends and we have the same birthday. It wasn't unusual for Peaches to leave for a vacation for upwards of three days, even in the winter, coming home with scabs on his ears and silent stories. He lived with me until just before I graduated high school, and he left when he needed to. His hips were giving out, but until the day he died, he climbed the ladder to sleep on the pink insulation in the loft of the tool shed. He was the best cat, surviving 18 years of coyotes, dogs and hawks, teaching me a lot that I needed to learn.
