# About me
Most of my photos are untouched, however there are a few I really like and have adjusted the highlights/shadows & bumped up the saturation a bit. Although photoshop is a wonderful tool, and often necessary to get the uniquely stylized pictures that are becoming popular, I tend to use it very rarely and only to make up for the limitations of my 70D.Before middle school I was interested in rocket engines. Luckily my family went to Kennedy Space Center several times on summer vacation while I was young. Since middle school, aircraft designs and turbine engines have been my passion. I have been making can-type combustion chambers out of food cans since 8th grade (mostly because it was the only part of a jet engine i could make myself at the time). My wildest dream would be to become a propulsion engineer and work in research and development.
After my enlistment in the Marine Corps where I was a cryogenic technician, I was hired as a field service supervisor for a company that builds several sizes of turbo expanders for industrial cryogenic plants as well as centrifugal and reciprocating cryogenic pumps.
My mind constantly wonders and I often design little inventions or designs to improve something I see. I also got interested in photography while in middle school (more on this in "My photography story" journal). I have a great interest in anything that has to do with science or mechanics. However I also have a love for nature, rather it be animals from reptiles to insects to mammals, as well as plants.

lol, yea. I was researching the F-1 rocket engine from the Saturn V (moon rocket) and read a bit on rocketdyne , which was the major rocket engine company during the space race. And so photodyne (dyne being greek for "power or force") came to mind and I liked it.

Really? Im not creative when it comes to names and I thought it was kinda lame...
π: 0 β©: 1
Lame or not, I felt like I was talking to a friend. Now the name looks so good it feels like a photo studio where you walk in and ask for a photoshoot instead, if you know what I mean.

yea I feel ya, sort of a "comercial" spirit rather then personal, yes?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, that's it. You describe it better.
