I'm 19 and I live in Illinois although I'm from the south. At first I picked photography up as a hobby but over time it progressed to an obsession. My main camera is a Canon EOS Rebel t2i and from time to time I take pictures with my old film-using Canon Rebel, whom unfortunately has been taken to the beach and left in the sand one too many times. Out of having not much else to do I wind up taking a lot of pictures of my animals, who can sometimes be fairly frustrating subjects.

Aside from photography, I have a passion for music, computers, dogs, and wasting time. My favorite music is my inspiration for a lot of my photographs. I am a ridiculously enthusiastic Trent Reznor/Nine Inch Nails fan, and some of my other favorites include Marilyn Manson, Sister Machine Gun, Steve Earle, Dire Straits, Neil Young, John 5, Awolnation, and The Glitch Mob. I'm an agnostic bordering on nihilist. I'm sarcastic, anti-mainstream, enthusiastic about what I love and completely apathetic about everything else.
