Welcome!

Welcome to my website! Here I will be showcasing my various photographic works, as well as dicussing my thoughts and experiences related to photography.


I am a novice photographer from Des Moines, Iowa. I have lots of photos to share, so if you are at all interested in photography, add this site to your favorites bar! I plan to add photos and make site updates whenever I can.

*(Nov 27, 2025) Happy Thanksgiving! (New Photos) Added 2 new photos: Monotonous and Pondering Pup. As you might notice, I've decided to start adding my new photos to the top of the gallery instead of the bottom, mainly because I want my new work to be highlighted when you visit the page. I also re-edited Autumn Harvest and Tranquil Duck today as well. Stay warm yall, it has been gettin pretty cold out.

*(Nov 25, 2025) Site Button! I made a website button! Check it out B) super cool button yo

*(Nov 23, 2025) Added 3 new photos. I'm too tired to make some clever description, just check em out or sum.

*(Nov 19, 2025) CSS is pissing me off.

*(Nov 17, 2025) Added a photo + Little story about editing. I only added one photo today, but it took me AGES to edit and enhance. The photo is Autumn Harvest, and I really like how it turned out after all my shenanigans in GIMP. And yes, I edit in GIMP, not photoshop. Well, actually a few of my photos are edited in photoshop since my school allows us to use it for free on our computers for art classes, but generally I use GIMP. I really enjoy GIMP actually. It's way less feature-rich than photoshop, so it takes me a bit longer to edit since it doesn't have the same tool variety. This photo in particular took me a very long time simply because it was pretty poorly shot and the white balance was all screwed up. Also, since I took it on my ancient Powershot A560, the low-resolution created a lot of issues when it came to enhancement. I had to play around a lot with color hues and saturation to hide the rough edges and JPEG artifacting. I think my effort was worth it though, I'm really happy with the final result. You can check out the unedited JPEG here and compare it with the final one in the gallery if you'd like!

*(Nov 15, 2025) Now part of the No AI Webring! Hell yeah B)

*(Nov 15, 2025) New photos! I added 3 new photos! Waterspout was a photo I shot on film, Iron rail and Freshwater Sunset were both shot on my canon digicam. Go check them out!

*(Nov 13, 2025) Small update. Removed the stock image Powershot that was originally at the center of the homepage and replaced it with my own photo. In other news, the site reached 300 unique visitors! Okay well according to Neocities the visit count is 600+ but I don't think that number is accurate, since I tend to load my own website on different devices for fun sometimes lol. Anyways, thanks to all who have given my puny little site a visit, it means a ton to me!

*(Nov 11, 2025) Re-uploaded an old photo and added a new one. I edited Orchard Scarecrow to my liking and added a new photo :)

*(Nov 10, 2025) Deleted a photo. I wasn't a fan of how saturated and over-edited my Orchard Scarecrow photo looked, I shot it on film but decided the colors seemed off. Now I just think it looks unnatural. I will re-upload it soon with a more authentic look.

*(Oct 27, 2025) 4 new film photos added! I added a few of my favorite film photos that I've edited to the gallery. The scans are decently low-res though, around 3MP or so. I might try to get higher res scans sometime later. For now, this will do.

*(Oct 24, 2025) I made shi a lil wider.
yeah

*(Oct 21, 2025) My first 35mm film roll came back! This past month, I have been using a Vivitar film camera from the 1970s that I fixed myself. This has been my very first experience using an analog camera, and it has really changed my veiw on how I see photography as an art form. Its been super fun playing around with it, and a few of my pics from it look pretty neat! I plan to share some soon in my gallery, stay tuned!

*(Oct 18, 2025) Version 1.1 fully finished! I finally got around to completing all of the pages for this little website. It is still pretty rough and boring, but whatever, I can be happy with how it is for now. The only changes I will be making for the time being will be adding more of my photos to the gallery and adding updates to this box. I plan to add a guestbook, photo categories, and overhaul the look of the site in Version 1.2, but that will have to wait for now.
