p(Hope)
Doom and hope arrive in pairs. They always have.
A world worth looking at, building and thinking through.
I photograph sharks and wild places, ship software for the browser and write essays about AI.

I photograph sharks, make software such as Threadfield and write essays about AI. That is me in the photograph, on the sand with a camera housing while one shark passes an arm's length overhead and two more go by beside me; the Sharks gallery on this site has more of them. On dry land in Southern California I am building two games, Sky Follies and Bolita Dash, and writing essays such as p(Hope) on what changes when machines can think alongside us.
