2024s

    Weekend project! 📷

    I’m having a blast getting back into analog photography. For many years, I had my own darkroom: a Besseler enlarger, a clunky old timer, trays, tongs, and a safe light — all set up in a spare bathroom with black plastic covering up the windows. (It was a little creepy, tbh. 😅) But I sold all of my equipment when we moved to Los Angeles. Our little Santa Monica loft just didn’t have the room.

    But now that we’re settled into our new home on the coast of NC, I’m excited to start putting together my new darkroom! This time I’m keeping it small, and I found what I hope will be the perfect enlarger for me — the Intrepid Compact Enlarger. It combines a small LED light source (that you can mount to a tripod or copy stand) with a digital controller/timer. I just got it delivered and am looking forward to getting it all set up so that I can start making prints again.

    More to come!

    Leaving Apple 

    Earlier this month, I said goodbye to Apple.  I had an awesome five years with a wonderful team and got to create apps and training content that helped enterprise developers worldwide. But now it’s time for a new adventure! 🚀 I’ve started building my passion project, which combines two of my favorite things — iOS development and photography. 📱📸 I’m also eager to work with companies that are creating innovative experiences on Apple platforms. (Want to build something together? Let’s connect! 👋)

    I’m excited for the year ahead, and I can’t wait to share more updates soon. Stay tuned!
