MY ART
Aside from writing code, I love to dabble in art as a side hobby. This page showcases my photographs and my digital art.

FILM
Photography
I just love the style of film. I think no other medium of art captures the realism and nostalgia of real imagery than film (especially in how it captured natural light).
I use mostly dipsoable cameras and my trusty $20 camera I got from the Facebook Marketplace. Despite being decades in age, it is incredibly reliable and adjusts fairly well to low lighting.

Take a look at my film photographs! Most of these were taken fairly recently since film photography is a relatively new hobby. Most were taken with my go-to $20 point-and-shoot camera, using mostly Fujifilm Superia 400.

A couple, at the WTC Memorial at NY. Love the warm tones in this one; film just captures golden hour light so well.
DIGITAL
Art and Photography
This part of the page showcases my digital art and photography. Digital photography is really how I got into photography in general. I loved using DSLR cameras and playing around with the settings, and editing them. But I find myself becoming less interested in it as my style changes, now using mostly my phone and point-and-shoots to capture moments. Using heavy and cumbersome digital cameras was not ideal for this style. I also started editing less with photography, as I've found that I've opted for a more natural 'less is more' style over the years.
Digital art is something that has taken a back seat for the last few years for me. But it has kinda gained a 'resurgence' because of designing my programming projects.

GALLERY
Take a look at my digital art and photography over the years. The camera gear I use isn't really all that special since I believe that cameras really shouldn't define someone's work (it's the person behind it that does). For these photographs, I just used my family's Canon Rebel t6i and my iPhone 6s and 5s. For digital art, I used mostly Photoshop.
