Software by trade, music by night, history by obsession. Writing is how I make sense of it all.

Fracture

The solitude of the soul, existential unease, and the peculiar allure of decay. A descent into a decaying Victorian apartment.

It’s hard to tell the difference between sea and sky. Between voyager and sea. Between reality and the workings of the heart.

Astrophotography
  • The Orion Nebula: a bright pink and white cloud of gas with dark dust lanes, the smaller Running Man Nebula above it, on a starfield.
  • The dark Horsehead Nebula silhouetted against a red curtain of glowing hydrogen, with the orange Flame Nebula beside the bright star Alnitak.
  • The Sun as a thin orange crescent, most of its disc hidden by the Moon, with a small sunspot near the limb.

A lifelong love of astronomy, strong enough to study physics for it, and a telescope that finally let me photograph it. Nebulae, galaxies, the Moon, and one eclipse.
