FAVORITE QUOTES

"We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained."

"Out of nothing I have created a strange new universe."   —Janos Bolyai

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one... just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."   —F. Scott Fitzgerald

"Stay hungry. Stay foolish."  —Whole Earth Catalog, often attributed to Steve Jobs

"Try to understand men. If you understand each other you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate and almost always leads to love."   —John Steinbeck

"Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter — to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning —
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."   —F. Scott Fitzgerald

PHOTOGRAPHY

A selection of my favorite photographs taken in 2018. Most of these were taken on a Nikon D3400, with the exception of the nighttime photos, which I took using a Canon T5i in 12.409 Observational Astronomy.

MUSIC

I took a music theory class in fall 2018, where the capstone project was to write a string quartet. The sheet music (and recording, by a professional quartet) will be posted eventually. In terms of music studies, I've also played trombone for eight years and taken a music history class.

Here are some of my favorite artists (non-classical only for now): Glass Animals, The Beatles, Jon Bellion, Oh Wonder, Snarky Puppy, Jack Johnson, Imagine Dragons.
