Hi!

I’m Michael Piazza - a software engineer
from Oakland California, living in San Francisco.
I'm 0.

Photography has helped me maintain a playful relationship to reality and those who occupy it. It's half art practice, half meditation, and an excellent way to weather a pandemic.

This site is my little experiment at documenting (oversharing?) life as it transpires. I'm not so sure how it will evolve over the coming years, but I had a strong desire to carve out a cozy spot on the internet, apart from noisy social media platforms, where my photos could live on in perpetuity. Let's see where it goes.

Also, wow do photos look so much better on a larger screen. 🤷‍♂️

I mostly shoot X-Pro3 (JPEG) and occasionally film on a Canon AE-1. The Fuji X100F was my gateway drug into this whole mess.

For my fellow nerds: I built this site from scratch with Next.js and Typescript. Feel free to browse the code if you're into that sort of thing :)
