My Webring

There are a lot of amazing people out there on the Internet! Here are a few I know and love:

🗺️ Kevin Kempf is my talented and deeply intelligent brother, who just so happens to also be a web developer. I'm also pretty sure he knows the capital of every country on the planet.
🐝 Daniel Wolfe , a multitalented journalist and artist who visualizes his own reporting digitally.
🎬 장은비 (Eun Bi Chang) , a focused and efficient visual artist and producer who gets indie short films across the line. Also, just an amazing 민화 (minhwa) artist.
💻 Tauseef is one of those developers that makes you really want to up your game. Definitely someone to keep an eye on if you need dev inspiration.
📷 Christopher Ian Parks, Jr. , a man well versed in the dark arts of videography and photography.
