My father was also a photographer, when he passed away I started a fundraiser to digitize his entire photo archive. I have a formal education in film, audio and video and I've worked with all kinds of budgets for my video productions.

This is the oculus in the Pantheon in Rome. I wanted to show the whole room.
I'm originally from Chicago, and the sign on the theatre is a symbol of the river that forks through the city.
This is a monument to the Haymarket affair.
I took this photo in the 'War Room' of the Wikimedia Foundation during the 2012 blackout of Wikipedia in protest of proposed SOPA legislation.
You can watch a few videos I've produced below:
When I was in college in 2008, I made a short film about technology and isolation that you can watch below. I'm hoping to make it into a feature film. If you like it, you can donate to that effort.
One of my enthusiasms is playing video synthesizers. As you can see in the video below, the output is colorful and reactive to audio. Once you set up the patch you like, they are wild to play -- you sort of need to bracket where the image can and cannot go and just hold on and see what happens.
Thanks for reading!
