I dabble in a little film, a little digital, but mostly black and white. Art student at UW-Madison experimenting with abstract and street photography. Ceramics is my side hobby.

Not photography related but I wanted to share some phone photos that I took on a recent backpacking trip to the Winds. #backpacking #wyoming #rockymountains #nature #photography

Thought of the day: If movement is the act of change and the capturing of an image immobilizes a moment in time, does the subject come alive or fade into nothingness?

Another photo from a recent trip. There’s something pretty dramatic and eerie about in caves that reminds of black and white films.

This is one of my favorite 35mm prints that I had developed for a class in darkroom photography. It feels like I’m traveling back in time whenever I walk into this room in Science Hall.

A little time rewind to early winter when the streams were just starting to freeze.

A fun photo of foliage silhouettes from within my tent.

Part 2 of my waterscapes series on light and texture. Really excited with how the sun rays are reflected off the water surface while also showing the pebbles underneath.

I’ve been experimenting with textures in photography, playing with how light interact with its environment. Waterscapes is one of my favorite elements to photograph by far.

Adding another photo to my glow experiments—sunlight filtering through the windows of a warehouse/apartment stairwell.

Lake Monona is starting to melt under warmer temperatures this week, forming pools of hauntingly beautiful ripples of lake water over crackled ice.
