Even before I got into computers I was an avid photographer and carried a camera with me everywhere. Although computers began to take up much of my time, I still had occasion to snap a few photos. Most of the time I shot b/w but occasionally I used slide film.

Work

I took the following photos at the office of a software company where I got my first job. I was still in high school and worked there after school and during the summer.
