I am a Colorado native, born in Boulder. I completed my bachelor's degree in Physics (with an informal/unofficial emphasis on Optics) from the Colorado School of Mines in 2007. I started photography in high school doing black and white prints on film. Since then, I have taken to digital photography while utilitizing color slide film occassionally. As an experiment, I asked my friends and family to make some notes about me and I have posted them below.
"You are a photographic artist."
"You got your blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do Su Bok Do, and when you spar, you go for the head a lot!"
"Chase Hoffman is too modest."
"Well, you talk a lot, usually about one thing because you find something you like and obsess over it for a while. You tell bad jokes, and I'm pretty sure you're not trying to make anyone laugh but yourself. And...you make good salsa?"
"You take extremely good/informative photographs."
"You provide guidance and support while giving ample space to learn and grow. You also do well with pressure and responsibility :) Plus you appreciate a good game once in a while."
