About

I am a photographer and writer who loves everything in the natural world but especially birds, bees, and bugs. Interested in abandoned rural and industrial detritus. I also write code for fun. Interested in programming language design and implementation, and systems programming. Unix junkie. Somewhat of a misanthrope.
