I’m a full-time software developer with graphics experience, so I finally began to look into how I might be able to recreate the entire Photoshop action, film grain simulation and all using Apple’s CoreImage framework and some custom GPU shaders.
If I was successful, I could work to turn the project into a standalone piece of software that ran much faster and required no additional software to use!
Read MoreI’ve been venturing into the rainforests and mountains and there’s a lot of green there. And a little astrophotography goes a long way. I’ve never been all that good, prepared or dedicated to it, but sometimes it’s nice to try.

Read MoreTruth be told, things are a little different these days after my journey through therapy and making other changes. Vibrant West End is now my home, rock climbing has become a big passion of mine, and through these two changes a new era in living has emerged.
