    A few updates from my side

    I updated this post on 2014-10-28. I since merged my blog and my portfolio site and moved the combined site to this domain. It works out better that way, I think. The last few months have been pretty crazy. We have some big changes ahead of us but, for now, I thought I’d share a couple…

    Getting started

  • Awesome sunflower photo

    I love great sunflower photos and always seem to be on the wrong side of the highway when driving past a sunflower field with my camera. I came across this photo after linking to Nick van der Leek’s Flickr photo stream and I love it: I feel a strong need to take loads of photos…
