Bio

I'm a recent graduate of Binghamton University, where I studied geology. I currently work as a graphic designer, junior drafter, and photographer at an architecture firm in Westchester County, NY, and am planning on pursuing a Masters in Architecture. I'm really into politics, science, and art, but I've got a host of other interests. I have some websites where I post a lot of my artwork and photography . Go to bujedi08.deviantart.com and http://www.flickr.com/photos/climatechanger/ if you want to check them out.
