I am pretty simple. I'm 24 years old and graduated with a BSME degree in mid-2008; that is what I do for a living (mechanical engineering).

 

I am a very artistic person. I spend a lot of time with photography in addition to music (I play bass guitar) and drawing. I love drawing while I'm listening to music to see what comes of it.

 

I find a lot of beauty in simplicity, and I think that shows in how I live my life.

 

I have always been interested in photography, but I have only just recently stepped into the DSLR world. I shoot with a Canon Rebel XS. I also use a Vivitar film SLR camera. I enjoy photographing nature and wildlife, and I also do portraits (posed and candid). I also have recently started to spend more time on shooting live concerts as music is another passion of mine.

 

I hope you enjoy the photos I post here. Thanks for visiting!
