Born in the midwest, I've been a resident of Silicon Valley since 2004. Turns out it was a good move for me, because I'm a software engineer and there are just tons of other programming geeks out here. I've recently reconnected with photography as a hobby, and I'm blown away with how far the technology side of the art has evolved since I was a kid. I feel like a noob all over again, and I'm totally open to comments, tips and suggestions while I try to master these shiny new toys.
