I am a high school teacher. I love playing the piano, watching and writing about movies, playing story-driven video games, and talking to people. As of May 22, 2007, I am the proud owner of a Canon 30D with the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens. I now see the world with new eyes. Photography has always been an interest of mine, and I think it's about time that I got more serious about it. I hope that what I share here will convey my worldview that there's always something beautiful to be seen if we slow down and look around.
