Happy Halloween!

It’s crazy to think that 2023 is almost over, I’m nearly 18, and I will be a college student studying computer science soon. It feels like just yesterday that I was writing my first Windows Forms apps and trying to get through middle school. Now, with the next stage of my life looming, it’s become even easier for me to get lost thinking about the future. However, I’ve decided to stop for a moment and focus on what is going on right now: Halloween 2023! Unfortunately, I don’t believe that I will be celebrating this year, (busy life, busy friends, etc.) but I did take some pictures. Take a look!




Although I wish I got more, I enjoyed all of these shots. I hope you did, too, and Happy Halloween!

The smoke bomb pictures were taken at school on a Canon Rebel T3i. For the cat picture, I used my personal Canon Rebel T7. I utilized the standard Canon 18-55mm lens for all of these photos. As usual, all of these were shot in manual mode.

I love my Instax Mini SE. Here's why!

Hey, folks! I did it. I finally got into instant photography. And I love it. Admittedly, I've had some experience with instant photography before now. I got my first instant camera at a thrift store in 2022. It was a Polaroid OneStep from the 90s, and while film was still readily available for it, it was far too expensive to justify using it regularly. As cool as instant photography was, I accepted that it wasn't economically viable for me and moved on. ...Until about a month ago! On one of my first dates with my girlfriend, she introduced me to her Fujifilm Instax Mini 11. It was a much more compact and modern instant camera than my Polaroid. It also used smaller film slides. This was a big deal, as she informed me that the smaller film came at a smaller price. I was intrigued. A couple weeks later, I ventured to Walmart and splurged. I picked up the cheapest Instax they sold: The Mini SE. It only cost about $57, and it came bundled with 10 slides of film. I also picked up an ...

What's in John's Backpack? (EDC)

I may no longer be a computer science major, but I'm still fascinated by electronics of all kinds. That's why I take great pleasure in writing about my "everyday carry," that being the devices that I regularly take along with me. These are often being swapped around, as I am an enthusiast at heart, but some of these have stuck around for a long time. So, here's the list: Phone: iPhone 15 Pro (128 GB) It's a very nice phone. That's about all I have to say about it. Like most people, I'm pretty apathetic toward iPhones. I prefer iOS for my needs, and it does what I need it to. 'Nuff said. Laptop: MacBook Pro 14" (2023, M3) I feel bad for my MacBook Pro. It gets tossed around in my bag, is constantly being used, and has a fair few battle scars. But it keeps on going. This laptop has gotten me through college thus far, and I'm hoping I won't have to replace it for a few more years. Watch: Apple Watch SE (the newest one) I swear that this i...
