While I will continue to leave this account "active", I will not be very active on this account. I'm currently working as an assistant at Kazoo Photography in Marion, Iowa, in addition to keeping the other two jobs I already had. I'm still not shooting much but what I am shooting is technically company property.

Additionally, life is pretty insane. Going through some (more) personal hardships.

Love to y'all, though.

I don't sleep much. Or I sleep too much. Sometimes I can't figure out which.

My stream is private for private reasons, but I'm only trying to keep out certain people. Who are not most of you. So if you'd like to see my photos, please! Add me as a contact and I'll add you back as quickly as I can. :)

I shoot with a Canon S2IS Powershot camera. I bought it in 2006 for $600. It makes my heart hurt to think about how much that would buy me in camera now. I'm saving up for a DSLR.

I came into a DSLR by some friendly luck and have had my fingers crossed for the entire seven months I've had it so far that I get to keep it. So for now I shoot with a Canon Rebel XT with a Sigma DC 17-70mm lens.

Other tools of my trade: GorillaPod, GorillaTorch, Adobe Photoshop CS4, Nik Photoshop Plugins (I have the Complete Collection, which includes ColorEfex Pro 3.0 and Silver Efex Pro). And lots of AA batteries? I dunno.
