Random hobbies & interests!

Film Photography

I'm by no means the best photographer out there, but I have an old Canon GII that I love to bring around and use to capture pictures of cool places and my friends! Generally I shoot Fuji Superia 400 ISO color, but occasionally Ilford B&W as well.

DIY Metal Casting

A while back I discovered you can get started metal casting pewter without too many crazy materials, as the alloy melts at a pretty accessible ~450°F. I create clay models and silicone molds to make DIY knick-knacks and jewelry, such as these earrings for a friend!

Travel

I love travelling and seeing new places (near or far) whenever I get the chance! Above is a shot from islands off the coast of Marseille, France, accessible by an easy 12€ ferry ride and definitely an awesome spot to check out if you ever happen upon the area!
