If all you knew about me was that I was a graduate student in mathematics, you'd be forgiven for suspecting that I was a complete nerd. Forgiven, because knowing more about me does nothing but confirm that thesis.

I have been interested in photography since college, but really started doing it as a hobby while studying abroad in Budapest my junior year. I'm hoping that posting my photos here will encourage me to go out and shoot more.

Comments, criticism, and advice are always welcome, as are sarcasm, absurd comments, and witty repartee, if that's more your thing.

Software:

I use XnView to manage my photos, and GIMP for image editing. Most of my photos are lightly edited (cropping, adjust levels, change to BW, maybe some sharpening), and I try to state in the description if more drastic editing is used.
