About Me

I take pictures. Sometimes they turn out okay.

I’m HexTrace — the same person who writes about security and AI over at synthyze.com. This is Framed, a corner of the internet where I drop photos.

All of these were shot with a FUJIFILM X-T5. I brought one body, one lens, and zero expectations. Walked 20km a day, got lost constantly, ate too much convenience store food.

The name “Framed” is literal. Each image is a frame around a moment that caught my eye. A train passing at dusk. Rain on a temple roof. The vending machine glow at 3am. Nothing is staged. I just point the camera at things that feel worth remembering.

If you like the writing side of what I do, synthyze.com is where the words live. This is where the pictures do.

Thanks for looking.
