Back again with my latest project! With summer in full swing, it feels like it's hot all the time now. And because of that it's hard to get my coffee fix, because who wants hot coffee on a hot day? So

I'm back! After a bit of a respite from posting (because I ran out of projects to share), I recently got myself a nice cheap Chinese laser cutter. So I can work on projects again! My latest project was

This is the most involved project that I have designed yet. Last summer I decided to see if I could create a lamp using laser cut materials. I originally built this in Solidworks, then exported the parts

Successfully got a picture this horned lizard basking in the morning sun last summer during my trip to Arizona.

Reading and and working on projects are two things that I quite enjoy doing in my spare time, and last summer I figured out how to combine the two. I decided to experiment with making bookmarks using a

Caught these ducklings dozing last spring. This was part of my final project for a photography class

Got a picture of this little guy during a hike in Arizona last summer.

The "ghost plant" is a parasitic species of plant. And because it doesn't need sunlight, it's completely white! It has a symbiotic relationship with a fungi that takes energy/nutrients from tree

This is a laser cutting project that I did last summer because of the most recent Game of Thrones season. The project is actually pretty simple if you have access to a laser cutter (but a big if). For

Was taking a morning walk with my camera last summer during my trip to Arizona, when this dog stopped to watch me as he was crossing the road. He stuck around long enough that I was able to get a picture

If something looks small from your point of view, maybe you just need to change your perspective

Caught this guy in my backyard last fall. He stuck around just long enough for me to catch a shot of him.

Mount Rainier framed by brush with clouds rolling over it.

I originally designed this as a Christmas present for a friend. It's a great souvenir to show places that you've been too. I've seen beer cap maps sold online, but they're pretty expensive, so I decided

A colorful sunset I got last summer when smoke from the Canadian wildfires drifted down into Washington. All of the smoke created a very cool orange glow at sunset.

Had the opportunity to take this photo while on vacation in Arizona. I was far enough from light pollution that I was able to see the Milky Way with just my eyes, so I decided to pull out my camera and

This post explains how to make custom name keychains using birch plywood and a laser cutter. It's a relatively simple process to design, laser cut, and then apply wood finish to. Great to make as a gift

A well worn leaf I found on the ground, and when held up to the light, you can see all of the veins in the leaf.

Last August I had the opportunity to drive down to Oregon for the solar eclipse. It was one of my favorite experiences of all time, and remains my favorite photoshoot that I have ever done. I took the
