Day and Night. October 2013. 

Even though it should have a meaning that's slightly more than its initial appearance, does this even count as "art", as it's from a webcam program with a preset effect?

A very photogenic butterfly in my garden, looks to be a Pale Swallowtail or possibly a Western Tiger Swallowtail. June 2009.

The flowers in my garden looked exceptionally good on the day I took these photos. Note: This was made in June 2009 before I'd discovered tumblr and its amazing photoset abilities.

A very chromatically pleasing shot of the windmill at my house. June 2009.

Two photos of sunsets outside my house. Both are taken by my dad, I think. But I want them on giant panoramic canvases.

Homemade necklace I made for my grandma's birthday this year. She's a Cancer.

Some good ol' choir material by Moses Hogan, with a solo by yours truly. High B flats are fun! Thanks Mr. Wagner, for having me sing tenor and soprano in the same concert! (I actually love it.) Recorded in June 2012.

By Christopher Tin, for the video game Civilization IV. One of my favorite songs ever--I convinced my highschool choir director to let us perform it in concert. This was recorded in June 2012. I might record another version by myself later, a capella. The two singers in the beginning are my compadres Derek and Joseph.

This is really old. By Green Day. Sometimes I like to step into the rock genre. Kareoke track in the background, my live voice over that. Recorded March 2012.

Your Daddy's Son, from the musical Ragtime. This was recorded in October of last year; my first performance of it was in June 2012 at my senior high school recital. Both were okay, but I thought this version was cleaner.
