This is one of my best friends from back home. He's an awesome photographer, and is way artsier than I'll ever be.

He captures the built environment in a very pleasing way in his first "Fremont Bridge" picture.

He's definitely a very interesting guy, who lives his life by art, which is why I chose to share him to everyone.
