A close-up, slightly high-angle shot of a cluttered creative desk. A vintage camera lens, a half-empty mug in dark slate grey, and a handwritten notebook on soft off-white paper. Natural sunlight streaks across the surface, casting soft shadows.

I use YouTube as a digital junk drawer for ideas. From testing 360 lenses to editing drone loops until they look like a dream, these aren't 'productions'—they're just me learning out loud.

HIT ME UP
A grainy, film-style still from a point-of-view video. A person is walking through a dense Oregon forest, with muted blue-grey mist hanging between the tall trees and warm taupe needles on the ground.

A creative long-exposure photograph of light trails at night. The streaks of light are a warm taupe and soft off-white, set against a deep dark slate grey background, giving a sense of fast, chaotic movement.

A candid shot of a man's hands adjusting a small drone on a wooden table. The lighting is moody and soft. A muted blue-grey backpack is visible in the corner of the frame.

Sometimes it's blurry, but it's always fun to make.

I'm not trying to win an award. I just want to see what happens when I hit record and try something a little bit weird or unexpected.

A medium shot of a person playing a guitar in a dimly lit room. The composition is off-center and artistic. Shadows are dark slate grey, while a soft off-white lamp glow illuminates the warm taupe wood of the guitar.

A distorted, 360-degree 'tiny planet' view of a rocky coastline in Oregon. The ocean is a deep muted blue-grey, and the rugged rocks have warm taupe textures under a soft off-white sky.

Most of these end up as 15-second loops or long-form rambles. It's a personal playground for whatever I get obsessed with next.
