About Me

Man, about pages suck. I've drafted this thing like 4 times, and I don't know how I'm going to cram all of my awesome into a few short paragraphs but I guess I'll give it another shot. As it says above, I'm Brent and I'm a 21 year old photography major and web design minor. I'm currently on hiatus from anything academic, and I reside in Ohio with my parents, younger sister and our dog, Jack.

I spend the majority of my time photographing, painting, listening to music and broadening my design horizons. I've been building websites for about ten years now, and this website has existed in some form for around 5 of those years. I say "some form" because this is the ultimate result, despite a few different domains and all for different purposes. I think I'm here to stay, though. One of my favorite aspects to designing and being apart of the ~blogosphere~ is the sense of community within it. I've met some pretty amazing people here, and I hope to continue doing what I do for a very long time. I've always felt my websites to be kind of transitory and half-assed, despite how much I work on them so hopefully this is permanent.

I write because I have things to say. I post photos and snippets of my life not only for documentation, but to connect with others. I bitch a lot and smoke cigarettes and drink too much coffee, but really I'd just like to give everyone a hug. I'm a pretty funny kid, and I like to make people laugh. I can be sociable, but my favorite thing to do is curl up and spend my evening editing photos or designing something. In a few years from now, I'd love to be shooting and writing articles for a magazine. I want to travel the world, as most people do, and I can see myself settling down in a suburb of Madrid, Spain.

About Neonglow

Neonglow.net was purchased in late December of 2007, and was originally hosted by Bluehost. After being fisted in the ass financially with them, I won a year's worth of hosting over at Holdfire and it couldn't have come at a better time. I'm very satisfied with their services, and I definitely recommend them.

This website is controlled entirely by Expression Engine, the best CMS in the entire world. Seriously dudes, I'm a fanboy. Anyways, I design my layouts using Adobe Photoshop CS3, and code them by hand using valid, semantic markup and CSS.

I'd like to thank Marlboro, Folgers, iTunes, Sarai and Becky for giving me the inspiration and motivation to do what I do.

The following are places I can be found at on the web.
