# About me
Hi, my name is Nickel.
I'm a photographer, a videographer, an urban explorer, a Buffalonian.
I've been to 21 countries.
Long live Elmwood Village.
Always yield to the hands-on imperative.
Rockabilly saved my soul.
We do not forgive, we do not forget.
Derpy Hooves is best pony.
is my friend
I have avoided getting a DA account forever because I have found my flickr (flickr.com/user/type40photos ) and my vimeo (vimeo.com/hamptonh ) to be sufficient for my professional interests. But lately I've found myself drawn more and more towards crafty endeavors and I figured it was about time. While I might share some of my photography here from time to time, it would be better viewed at my blog, Urbex Buffalo. I'm going to use this more to share physical things that I like to make from time to time. (Cosplay, props, ponies.) And some of my digital art that doesn't really fit in anywhere else. Typography mostly. And possibly take commissions in the future if my work is well received. I have rent to pay.
