High School – Roll 9

Blog, Photography

Whositwhatsit? I’m pretty sure that the was the name of this assignment. Find an object and shoot it from different angles and then other people had to guess what it was. I think mine was guessing in about 5 seconds or less. (It’s a bike rack!) I genuinely hated this assignment. I remember having so […]

Photographing an Eclipse on 35mm Film

Blog, Photography

Recently, it came to my attention that the 2024 solar eclipse will be happening next month. On a whim, I decided to take a day off, and make a day of it. I have been itching for some time to relax, and celestial events are a good catalyst for relaxation, in my opinion. However, I […]

High School – Roll 8

Blog, Photography

There was no assignment for this roll, and to be honest I don’t really know why I took it. Likely, some younger form of me was trying to make the camera part of his personality and was bringing it along wherever he went. Who knows? The photos themselves are blurry but an aggressive kind of […]

High School – Roll 7

Blog, Photography

These photos are all bad. Really, I had to pull up the negatives to make sure I didn’t make a mistake while scanning these and sure enough, they are all bad. It looks like I had some weird light leak or development issue because every single photo has some sort of rippling along the strip. […]

High School – Roll 6

Blog, Photography

Another roll, another group of photos that I am not thrilled with 18 years after I took them. What I am finding out is that I wasn’t great about keeping my negatives in order in high school. I wish I could jump back in time to give a brief PowerPoint presentation to my younger self […]

Left the starting gate


Blog

Just a quick update on November events. I am still growing facial hair. I think the past few years I gave in and shaved by this point. I think I will make it to the end of the month. I am still working on my NaNoWriMo novel. I haven’t surpassed last year’s grand total of […]

Join the Wave

I am happy to say that I now have Google Wave access. A friend of a friend was kind enough to send me an invite. If anyone out there also has a Wave account let me know. I would be happy to have some more people to talk to and Wave with. And don’t worry, […]

Slowly but surely


Blog

I am only 2500 words into my novel for this month. I have a story outlined, its just a matter of getting all 50,000 words together in one place in a coherent manner. This might take a lot more effort than I thought it would.

Suck-o


Blog

I overheard this while walking down the street this evening: Guy 1: My arch-nemesis walked into work today. Guy 2: Rachel Ray? Guy 1: No, not Rachel Ray. I hate Rachel Ray.

King of Salamis

I had a ground-breaking moment today in my own world of website programming. Today I successfully was able to understand and write an AJAX script. Who knows, you might start seeing things become even more dynamic on here.

It must be true


Blog

I heard the following in passing. I was on my way to listen to people converse for a homework assignment. I wish I could have heard the rest of this conversation: If there wasn’t any truth to it, the idea wouldn’t exist.

I received this email today. Not sure why, but I like what it says. Hi Dear Creators, A few of you were away ill today, so please make sure you send your pieces round to the class well beforehand, ok? I don’t usually write notes like this, but here goes: What a strange semester this […]

Say what you mean, mean what you say


Blog

I don’t like when people try to write self-flattering fiction. If you want to say that someone is infatuated with you, come out and say it. Don’t pretend to be that person thinking about you with nothing but praising words and obsession. I read a creative non-fiction piece today where the girl was telling a […]
