 					music is a love language of mine, through life i've gone through many eras of music i've loved, all of them with a story, a reason, or a person behind them. music tells just as much a story of my life as i could tell my own story. so let's go through it together, okay?

 					in my teenage years i would become interested in playing guitar. i was rather obsessed with the electric guitar of music i was hearing at the time and wanted a guitar of my own. nobody tells you that you are horrible at guitar, for like a long time. i think it took me around a year of consistent practice to get both my hands to cooperate. over the years i'd keep playing. when i got into my 20s and started working more i would buy a new guitar. i'd also begin exploring recording my music and the cool sounds that guitar effects pedals could produce. i'd explore fun sounds like the shoegaze albums i was listening to by pouring reverb all over my guitar signal, and adding a fair amount of delay. then i'd revisit sounds i was loving from indie rock bands by using a simple fuzz pedal, the guitar, and the amp. it was a lot of fun overall. if you asked me why i quit, i'd tell you it was because i was no longer pushing myself to get better or learn new things. the honest reason though i think is that much like <a href="./photography.php" target="_blank">photography</a> i was still undiagnosed with ADHD at the time, and after years of obsession, just dropped the interest with no goal of continuing or revisiting it. recently though, i'm hoping that will change. i picked up my acoustic guitar again, and i'd like to begin practicing more with the hopes of learning how to play again

 					i was quite into taking pictures for awhile. there was a period in the early 2000s where digital SLR (signle lens reflex) cameras were quite expensive. while film ones were often cheap second hand. film was also relatviely easy to get developed at a pharmacy or at a camera store as these were still a thing and did a nice job at developing photos. during this period of time i would begin learning how to take photographs with a 35mm film SLR.

 					i had a few 35mm SLR cameras. I used my moom's Pentax K1000, buti would eventually buy myself a second hand Nikon F2A camera. this was a very professional camera at the time. it had things like interchangle viewfinders and focusing screens. my main 35mm SLR that i would use was a nikon N80 that my mom got me for christmas one year. it was more modern and offered automatic film advance and autofocus, but could be turned to all manual if you wanted that. i would eventually get a digital SLR when the prices came down, and took a fair amount of photos with it. unknown to me however was that i was undiagnosed with ADHD, and like many fixations in my life, i would drop photography like a rock with suddenly no interest after a few years of heavy interest and needing to know everything about it

 					technology, electronics in particular, was probably one of my first loves. as a child i was quite fond of taking apart anything i could, not yet knowing it would be smart to put it back together. as i entered gradeschool, a teacher would become quite important in my life. due to being legally blind, he would visit the school once per week, and make sure i was doing okay in school. he would do small assesments and we'd play games that would test common skills a child would have at that age. the thing i was obsessed with every time though, was the laptop he would bring. i would learn that it was an IBM ThinkPad T23. to say i was fascinated by this black square is an understatment. i was hooked by the idea of the computer, it was the device for someone that possesed curiousity like i did. this teacher caught on pretty quickly, and eventually would allow me some time each meeting to just look around on the computer, or make images in paint. trusting a little kid with your work pc is pretty impressive, but i think it really speaks to who this man was and what he meant to me as a whole

 					for the very double edged sword tech has been in my life, it is still a love of mine. i find it both a blend of art and science. circuit boards resemble well laid out cities. the beautiful websites you browse express themselves though code. there's always another question you can ask, and you can dive as deep as you want to find the answer. i think because of that, part of me will always love tech, both professionally and personally
