About

I am a recovering software engineer who is currently spending most of his waking day learning how to be an intellectual property attorney. Roaming the halls of the University of North Carolina Law School for hours a day means that I am constantly looking for ways to expel various different types of energy. Though it’s easy to rid myself of some physical energy with a quick trip to the gym, finding an outlet for creative energy can prove much more difficult. It’s for this reason that I picked up photography.

Unlike my primary blog (http://www.kivus.com) this website is primarily going to focus on my creative endeavors, which means it will mainly be photography related. There are three main sections: photos, snapshots, and the blog. Photos are the core of the site and will consist of only my favorite images. Snapshots are other images that I’ve taken and for some reason or other are not worthy of a slot on the front page. The purpose of this site is for me to be able to express myself creatively and sometimes that means taking images that aren’t exactly top of the line technically or perhaps are quick snaps from my iPhone. Snapshots is the place to find those images. The blog will contain my writings. Normally these writings will either be related to something else on the site or something about another creative outlet.
