I don’t like coffee shops that lack areas for standing. La Colombe in Old City outside of Independence Hall is my favorite coffee shop because there’s lots of standing options. There’s also the biggest floor to ceiling windows out of any coffee shop I’ve been to in the city.

I shoot more photos than the automatic google street view camera operators!

If I could be a video game character in real life, I’d choose Link from the Zelda franchise. An adventure hero! Who would you choose?

The ultimate question. Why?

My goal is to remain forever curious and to fuel my lust for life. The goal is not “good” photos.

If there’s one thing that my experience in the Peace Corps has taught me, it is that I love humanity and have a passion for people. Helping others is the one thing I know that I’m genuinely passionate about outside of photography.

Using a mouse and keyboard is so bad for you… This morning I have been using my desktop to work on my computer and it feels horrible on your hands. I can definitely see why the iPad is the best innovation by Apple as you can do everything in a much more free and mobile way…

My issue with GoPro is that the original 1080p file sizes are so large! This slows down my workflow significantly and takes up way more space than I’d like to. By doing a slight adjustment in the GoPro Quick app such as increasing contrast THEN exporting the video, gives the option to export at 1080p or 720p with significant file size differences. I can go from a 6 minute video at 2GB to 300MB with this new exporting process. I’m glad I found this little hack to save time and space!
