I'm a twenty-something year old nerd from New England. I've always had a love of technology, receiving a Bachelor's degree in Network Engineering and Cyber Security in 2021. I'm also a big music fan, as I have been collecting vinyl records, CDs and tapes since 2017. I like many kinds of music but I'm mostly a metal head. I'm also big into video games, from the Atari 2600 all the way to virtual reality.
I joined the furry fandom in the summer of 2019 and it changed my life forever. Being in this community helped me get out of my shell and made me less afraid to be myself. I've met so many awesome people and I don't know where I'd be if I didn't get involved. My fursona Jin is a Red Panda because Red Pandas have been my favorite animal since I was small.
I created this site as a creative outlet and an inspiration for me to get out of the house more during the tail end of the pandemic.

My first instant photo! Not great, but you gotta start somewhere, right?
I bought my first instant camera, the Instax Wide 300, in September of 2021. Instant photography had been something that interested me for a long time, and a yearning for a new hobby pushed me to finally jump in. I had never used analog cameras before (besides disposables), so I had quite the learning curve ahead of me. Light and exposure is the biggest thing I had to learn, as I was used to my phone camera being able to take pictures in low light.
I showed my new camera to my family and they were thrilled. We didn't really take many pictures of family events and gatherings, so I became the de facto family photographer. I didn't start photographing furry events until early 2022 because of the lasting effects of the pandemic. I was taking so many pictures that I needed a place to post them all, and thus the Photo Booth was born.
