Figured I’d throw my Spotify wrapped on here as well. Doesn’t reflect any Bandcamp listening, but fairly representative. April’s 90s obsession was because of the Be My Lover dance party at the Ottobar!

Had a ton of fun shooting this show at Pie Shop in DC, but was discovering the challenges of adjusting aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings bc I didn’t want to be the bellend in the front row using a flash.
