About

I take photos because the world has so much to document. I build things because I love solving problems at the cutting edge of technology.

When the weather's nice, you'll find me on my Indian Super Chief. Otherwise, I'm probably trying a new restaurant or cafe with a book. Right now I'm reading Tokyo Vice.

Always happy to chat — about tech, startups, or anything else. If you want to go take some photos together, I'm down. I shoot events for fun too.

Note: The contact info below routes through a service. If it's urgent, find my email elsewhere — but I do monitor the inbox.
