A book titled "House of Leaves"

There will still be photography soon as well (probably)

I've gotten my order of stands and acrylic bases in, so I might start posting about my rock collection once it's all cleaned up and presentable

Also, photography posts will slow for a little while I wait for my Instagram posts to catch up with this account :P

For all the rockhounds and rock collectors out there, here's the latest addition to my collection: Crocoite from the Red Lead Mine in Tasmania.

A close-up photo of a red flower and various green buds on a blurred orange, yellow, and green background.

I used to live in an apartment complex that had a large patch of various wildflowers that would bloom every spring. This one, among many other photos taken during the spring of 2020, is my favorite by far.

Welcome to the new year, everyone. Here's a photo from Black Chasm Caverns, featuring a back-lit drapery of flowstone stalactites deep within the main chamber. Easily one of my favorite shots I've ever taken.

A flower with white petals on a background of long red reed-like leaves.

A photo from a few years ago, one that I enjoy mainly for the combination of colors present.
