I am a homeschooled Christian and hobbyist macro photographer, most interested in the diverse order Araneae (spiders)! These eight-legged arachnids will capture me in their captivating webs and weave threads of intrigue over me for eternity! I am also working on a field guide to all spider families (but far from finished!).

My camera gear consists of the Canon EOS 2000D (Rebel T7) camera, EF-S 18-55mm IS II lens (kit lens), the Shoot Autofocus 14-65mm macro extension tube, and a cheap flash and homemade diffuser. Most of my recent photographs are focus-stacked, using Focus Stacking Online, typically of more than 40 images. Due to this all, my photographs are not so great, but I will upgrade... eventually!

My photographs are published under the CC-BY license so that organizations like Wikipedia and GBIF are free to use them, as well as everyone else, as long as I credited as the photographer, under my real name. I can also be found on Flickr, where I post mostly my more favorite photographs I've captured.

The spider in my profile image is Oxyopes aglossus. You can view it here!
