I have a lot of free time on my hands as someone who lives a very isolated lifestyle, and the times I'm not grocery shopping or taking pretty photos while grocery shopping, I typically spend it on drinking tea, listening to podcasts, or going on walks.I take a large liking to the little things: Breakfast, errands, and quiet ambience, among other things. This aspect of myself is a large motivator for my photography, and I aim to show others the beauty that I see in simple, mundane things.
HOBBIES: Photography, caring for myself
FAVORITE BAND: fields. is my all-time favorite band. Some others I enjoy from time to time include, George Clanton, The Yellow Dress, Sufjan Stevens, Bombay Bicycle Club but only their older stuff, and The Mountain Goats.
FAVORITE PODCAST: The Adventure Zone, but also definitely The Magnus Archives
FAVORITE COLOR: Teal or forest green
MAGNUS ARCHIVES ENTITY ALIGNMENT: The Lonely
Before getting into taking pictures, I got my start in taking video clips. I have about a year and a half of my younger teenage life documented through scattered clips of unused footage. A camera feels at home in my hands because of this. Specifically my camera.
CAMERA MODEL: Canon Vixia HF-R50, but I sometimes (rarely) use a Canon T5 DSLR.
Aside from all that, I have had a Neocities homepage for three years now. I called my first homepage "Thy Website of Homepagery," and if you are an avid Randal knower, you may have seen it! It's still up. I'm not sure I'll ever take it down.
Since I started, I have always taken a large liking to the "old web" style. Back in the day, other Neocities sites were at first my sole inspiration for these pages, and I admire the community very much. Also, I am not very knowledgeable with HTML and CSS, so this enjoyment of simple styles is a good thing, because it is very easy to make "retro" looking pages. I really enjoy the look of them, mostly because of the simplicity. Not too cluttered, nice little graphics, classic background tiles. Fun stuff.
LIKED AESTHETICS: Nature themes, science themes, space themes, nautical themes, old web style graphics, 2000s/2010s technology,
V A P O R W A V E, indie stuff.
WEBMASTER SINCE: December 2021
HTML SKILL LEVEL: reaaal bad
Other things I like to do include amateur microbiology with a home microscope, enjoying seasonal foods, attempt to play my guitar or my synths and write silly songs or songs about podcasts, going to Trader Joe's, journaling, listening to the radio, cooking, worship, and standing alone in the rain. Sometimes I play Oblivion.
