program.

I have been asked how many programming languages I've learned over the years and struggle to answer. In my teens, I taught myself enough to start building small Windows apps using Visual Basic (the original, not .NET) then moving on to HTML and building websites (why yes, I did fully hand-code my Geocities page). From programming night classes in C and C⁺⁺ during high school, the professor was impressed enough to offer me a summer job where I then learned Perl. From there, I learned various shell scripts doing systems administration, and then kept expanding my knowledge base outwards. For the last while, I've been firmly in the world of C and Python professionally, but lately I keep getting drawn back towards Rust for personal projects.

words.

"A word could be silent. A word could make a noise, like a ghost. There it is. There it isn't. It's true! It's the truth! It's all made up, it's a lie. You believe it, you don't believe it- It exists, it does not exist. To write the perfect sentence, you need to understand how these noisy, speechless ghosts haunt the mind and pollute reality, making it what it is: Tremendous trouble-a crazy hash. A mass of illusions and transparent surfaces, and provisional certainties, and exploded schemes, and cagey personalities, and monstrous visions, and idle talk, and exotic disintegrations, and charming things, and sleazy genius, and social conjunctions, and obscene gestures, and helpless love, and implausible incidents, and sinister ambiguities, and shattered windows, and extended anecdotes, and plussed vulgarities, and subtle enslavements, and strong opinions, and absurd remarks in newspaper scandals, and giddy menace, and grand, booming nonsense, and mad, gloomy farce, and indescribable events." — Excerpt from "Lost for Words: The Ghost of Sir Arthur Rimbaud" by Paul Morley

images.

I've had a camera in my hand since I was kid, and I somehow still have the pictures to prove it. It started more as a travel log - the simple capturing of a place. That morphed into figuring out how to capture the feeling of a place, and then how to tell the story of that feeling, and then maybe the story of that feeling's dreams.

previous works.

Most of my work isn't public facing, let alone my best work, but if it was public, I'll put it here.
