photography

I really like photography. As a full time student in computer science with many years to go until a PhD, photography gives me an outlet to express myself in a more traditional artistic manner. It’s not that I don’t believe in the adage that code is poetry, I absolutely do; it’s just difficult to convey the beauty and elegance of an algorithm or correctly implemented design pattern to the masses (NERD ALERT).

With all of that being said, please offer critiques and suggestions for improvement; they’re even better than compliments. But don’t let my forthcoming honestly about suggestions dissuade you from telling me when a photo is awesome; I am as susceptible to flattery as anyone else.
