About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn to take really good pictures and share them with good people

ABOUT ME

I am a lot like my parents, but I think that's a good thing.
I used to live in California, but now I live in Baltimore.
I spent my summers working at a camp in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
I studied abroad in Budapest.
I am a terrible speller.
I am always up for an adventure, especially if there is a good story in it.
I'm part of the Baltimore Rock Opera Society. During our last show, I was the head of gore and special effects.

PHILOSOPHY

Expect the best, prepare for the worst

Music, Movies, and Books

music: The cd in my car is Amy Lynn and the Gun Show/The Decemberists. The last spotify playlist that I subscribed to is funk and soul classics. The last show I went to Tuneyards

movies: I'm a sucker for superheros and disney movies. I started working through the AFI top 100 films with a few friends. There is never a wrong time to quote the Big Lebowski.

books: The last book I read that blew my mind was The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. I am currently in love with 100 years of Solitude. Some of my other favorites are What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, Cat's Cradle, The Tao of Pooh and The Electric Cool Aid Acid Test

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One night when I was living in Budapest, my roommates and I carried a couch three and a half miles from Buda to Pest to furnish our new apartment. (My profile picture)

Teach: how to solve a Rubik's cube
