Solemn Oak Records is a small indie label from Rochester, NY that is home to all of my music and now more as I create CDs for friends and other artists. The goal is to give physical form to music that otherwise has none. When the first physical media drop goes live, I will update this page with a link to the new storefront.

My photography Instagram:
Instagram
I started photography back in the summer of 2021 on an old Soviet film camera (LOMO Smena-35) and have been posting photos regularly ever since. I now mostly do digital to keep costs down, but experiment with new styles and editing, as well as different cameras (cintage digital, toy cameras, etc). I also try to focus on concert photography more these days.
