Nathan's zone for learning Divi 5
... The Divi 4 site is not in a mobile-friendly state, and I will be fixing that before I play around with 5.
My Todo:
- Maybe.. make an ARG style puzzle? That seems like a fun way to learn more about this.
- That certainly would help me familiarize more with WordPress and Divi.

About me:
Hey! I'm Nathan.
I'm an amateur photographer based in central North Carolina. I love the artistry behind finding a beautiful moment, and capturing it for ages to come.
Photography is generally a solved artform, but surely there's some new frontier with it that hasn't been captured yet.
What hardware do I use?
I currently do not have a frame of my own to shoot photos with, but I borrow my mother's Canon Rebel T7 from time to time, and have my eye on a used Sony α6000.
When I need something quick, rough, yet still good, I use my Pixel 6a.
What Software do I use?
I use Darktable! It's not a paid piece of software, so it may not be as robust as Lightroom or other Professional tools, but in my opinion, FOSS is generally the way to go if you're a hobbyist who doesn't make a whole lot of funds.
It works wonders on Linux, and in a pinch I can even run it off my Steam Deck for those quick and rough edits like a slight re-lighting.
My specializations
Landscape
Landscape is first and foremost my favorite type of photography. It's serene, and there's not a lot of control behind what you yourself can set up.
It is you, accepting nature for itself at its face value. It's finding beauty in this mildly chaotic, ever-spinning rock we find ourselves on every day.
Cosplay
Where my first form of photography I enjoy glorifies the beauty of nature, this one exists in spite of it.
We as people bring fantasy into reality, and that comes through inbeautiful costumes and a ton of human engenuity.
Urban
To a certain degree you could encapsulate this under "Landscape".
I choose to seperate them because I would say there's a lot more angles and concerns at play with Urban photos.
This style is almost a fusion of the prior two, thinking about it. It's the futility of trying to make the "perfect shot" but also a monument to humanity.
Artistic
This is a specialization that I couldn't really put in the former listed styles.
It uses colors, lighting, and a lot of edits to turn what may be an average or poor photo into something new.
A lot of the photos I look back on fondly use these techniques in full swing.
Events you may find me at
I do not get many chances to get out, but usually I will hit some major local events, art fairs, and the Renaissance fair each year.
