About Me

my professional site is found at:

shawnkilmer.com

I'm from southern california, central valley california, and oregon.
i moved to portland from eugene in may 2009. portland is fucking amazing
i studied computers and now engineer and design internet applications with them.
I would like spend my life, as I have since 2001, eradicating religious belief. There is an easier, kinder, more compassionate way to live. Let’s apply critical thinking to our lives and actions to try to create something better. We are not going to see much of a future at all so long as religious belief persists.
I have been vegan for 8 years, and until the rest of my life.
i don't claim straightedge anymore, but it helped me stay on the right track growing up. prefer intellectualism.
I started skateboarding in 1996 and have been immersed in that culture to some extent since. I would like to create another skate part soon. my previous video parts can be seen on my vimeo page
I love photography. mine. others. 35mm, 645, 4x5, pinhole, holga, abstract, poloroid, landscapes, portraits, film. I have put together a photoblog for my photos at beautifulcollapse.com
I love music, man. I was lucky to be playing music with jean grey and these guys for a while, but we have moved away. I make solo stuff SOMETIMES under the project named rebuild .I played synths/samples with NINTH MOON BLACK and previously in aerodrone 2004-2007.
environmentalism / sustainability is my second top issue in life perhaps after religious abolition.
