I am...

• A dad... first and foremost I am a dad.
• A husband, and lord knows I should be much better at it than I am.
• A drummer, I have played drums longer than I have done anything else in life. Thanks Dad, I miss you terribly.
• Tall, taller than most people you see in a day.
• Smart, smarter than an average bear I guess.
• Kind, I try to be kind, I really really do.
• I'm a programmer by trade, and by hobby, therefore... I program things.
• A budding photographer... sometimes.

Work time

I am lucky enough to make my living with one of my hobbies. I am currently a programmer for a leading design agency in the life sciences industry. I develop websites and web applications for medical and pharmaceutical companies. I get to use some pretty cool web technologies in my work. I am very familiar with Zend and Agavi PHP frameworks, jQuery JavaScript framework and CSS as the day is long. I also get to work with some pretty cool API's as well. Right now its all about the social networking sites so I have been doing a lot of work with FaceBook, Twitter and Delicious. For more examples check out My Work.

Free Time

I try to spend a lot of time with my family. I can sometimes get sucked into some programming at home but if I can, and the inspiration is there, I try to take some decent photos for the blog. I have always been interested in photography. The science and art behind it... Sometimes I think I just like to hear the click of the shutter.

While trying to "bud" as a photographer.. I use:

• Nikon D7000
• Nikon D40
• Nikon 50mm f1.8 *yummy
• Nikkor 18-105mm
• Nikkor 55-200mm
• A ton of random accessories I am convinced I will need one day :)

I hope you decide to leave some comments, or shoot me an email. I always like to hear from those that happen by.

Enjoy!
Justin.
