Now
Inspired by nownownow.com, I document here what I’m currently up to, like a snapshot of my life.
Let me know if you want to get notified via email when I update this page.
Updated:
Now that my MacBook Neo review video for music production is done, I’m returning back to some mixing work I was doing for Derev, the last band I worked with before I quit my audio engineering career (read about why I quit).
I recently bought a new camera and lens—the Fujifilm X-E5 with XF 23mm ƒ2.8—after 8 years shooting on my Sony A7 III. The X-E5’s compactness and amazing colours straight out of camera has reignited my interest in photography, so I’ve been enjoying learning the ins and outs of the camera and taking photos while I’m out!
My focuses for April will mostly be filing taxes, having fun with the X-E5, blogging and trip planning for Portugal.
Piano
I fell off the wagon of practicing the piano consistently again. I need to get back to it!!
