Interests
Music
I have a true passion for music! I'm not too picky about the type, I find I'll travel anywhere from trance to rock to classical to indie to dance all in one sitting. As long as its got decent vocals (if it has any) I'll probably like it.
I do have quite the music library (yes I actually *own* a lot of music) along with a couple music DVDs. I have an obsession with concerts (I've gone to a number of shows and always can't wait for the next!). I also enjoy singing, playing (air guitar!), and dancing along to a lot of my music - especially while driving.
If you've heard that I DJ... its true. I love keeping the beat going and feeling the energy with people moving to the music. I find its my way of expressing myself musically since I can't play any instruments (well). Good advice for anyone is: go out and dance the night away!
Photography
I'm an avid photographer. I've taken a couple photography classes at UD with emphasis on composition and technical aspects. Developing film is fun! But not my cup of tea. I prefer working digitally for the capture capacity and the flexibility of touching up. I feel capturing the image is more important than worrying about the settings of the capture (not to say I don't go into manual mode sometimes).
Feel free to browse through my photos. They range from landscapes to portraits and nature to the red carpet.
Travelling
I love the idea of exploring the world and all it has to offer. There are so many beautiful places and cultures out there. I hope to make it to all the continents (minus Antarctica) one day. I don't mind travelling alone with my camera, however its so much better with others.
Videography / Movies
I should probably clarify that I love working with more production and post-production videography. I've worked with a range of video editing apps (Final Cut Studio being my favorite) and enjoyed working on a few short films with friends. I also do love watching movies (though apparently everyone else sees 10x more than me).
Website & Web App Design
Well I guess its pretty apparent here. I love working with online information in both creative and informational forms. I'm always looking to try new technologies or improved ways to convey ideas. I prefer hand-writing a lot of code and understanding it rather than using cookie-cutter code/frameworks (that should help explain this hodge-podge of a website).
Graphics & Print Design
Something I truly gained an appreciation for while I was working on marketing material at Main Light. Over the years, I've learned the ins and outs of all of the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat), aesthetics of logo and graphic design, and the various ways print media and be used. I lack a certain creativity piece in my brain to come up with designs from scratch, but I still love implementing ideas in media. Guess that means I like marketing (at least indirectly).
Technology
Guess being a Computer Science major helps (or the computing references all over this page). I'm not sure... but ever since I can remember I've been interested with computers and technology. You name a topic and I've probably worked with it or at least have researched it some.
Environmental & Social Issues
A big one in my book. If you're apathetic about the world around you... you're crazy! There are so many things I love having dialogues over. I've also noticed that a lot of people are oblivious to some of the issues in the world currently.
Plus a few more!
Including friends, jokes, thinking, walks, running, biking, broomball, helping people out, cooking, and reading.
