I'm a 20 year old Cognitive Science (Human Computer Interaction) student at UCSD in La Jolla, California. I've spent my whole life living in San Diego, but I generally travel somewhere every summer.

I've just started getting into photography, and I totally love it. People tell me I should be majoring in visual arts at school, but really I just do it for fun. I don't have the best equipment by any means, but I try to make the best of it.

I like going to new places to take pictures, especially finding new locations around my school. I like trying new photographic techniques, like long exposure and HDR.
