Darktable Negative Inversion

Blog, Photography

We took a trip to Italy recently and I brought along my Ricoh XR-7 and ten rolls of film. During the trip, I ended up shooting eight and a half rolls (three color, five black and white). At home, I had three rolls of color film I was holding off on developing until after the […]

Zenobia Camera Test

Blog, Photography

Picked up a small 120 folder for cheap at a thrift store and put a roll of Kentmere Pan 400 through it to see if the 75-year-old camera could hold its own against my fleet of cameras.

Thirty-seven didn’t turn out to be the year I expected it to be, in some ways that was good and in some ways that was very much not good. Leading off with the bad because it really felt like a dark cloud over the year, work drove me to some dark places. For me, I […]

Photographing a Lunar Eclipse on 35mm Film

If you were to ask my wife why I do all of the hard things I do, she’ll tell you that it is because I can. And she isn’t wrong. I genuinely love to find out about something new, or old that I should be able to do and then spend days and weeks researching […]

Six sixes. Four nines. Three twelves. Two eighteens. One thirty-six. The past year started out with my baby girl turning one. It’s hard to think she’s approaching two so quickly now. We threw her a big bash to ring in the whole year. Two months later she started walking and has been getting fast and […]

Peace Corps

As promised, I will keep you updated on my Peace Corps application. Today I received an email containing some more documents to fill out. I was also told to expect some more in the mail. I have until February 17th to complete and return them. I also learned that there is no guarantee of an […]

Peace Corps

Two weeks ago I posted something a little cryptic: I also am not sure what I want to do (well I do and I am working on it but something needs to fill that time). This post is to answer Amy, who asked “So what is it exactly that you want to do?” Today, I […]

Writing

I just want you to know that I am currently working on my directed study writing project for the semester. I have uploaded my first two drafts so far. I will plan on uploading a new draft each week or so. Every time that I do, it will either have more content made to it, […]

May the Angels lead thee into Paradise; may the Martyrs receive thee at thy coming and take thee to Jerusalem, the holy city. May the choirs of the Angels receive thee, and mayest thou with once poor Lazarus, have rest everlasting. Amen. The grass still had dew upon it, the sun hadn’t rose enough to […]

Fiction

The neighbors talk about the old country in a way that makes me picture everything about it overlaid with a golden screen. It’s always ‘in the old country this’ or ‘in the old country that’ and you would think that these people were crazy for leaving such a beloved land. Not me. No, don’t think […]

Just a quick thing, I added a script to my site that allows you to suggest what I write about. It’s the little tab at the bottom that says ‘Suggestions?’. I am not sure if this will be used or how, so it might just disappear. Let me know your thoughts on it.

Day one


Blog

Classes started today; I am less excited than I was yesterday. Regardless, I think I am going to have a good semester. My English class is on novels from the best, in my opinion, time period. I walked in late to my religious studies class (it started twenty minutes before I thought it did) and […]

I thought I would just duck my head in and let everyone know that I am still alive. I am ready to start the new semester. Well, mostly ready to write my directed study project for Creative writing. Fear not, I will post it here when I am done; possibly while I am writing it. […]

I just wanted to say, last Monday’s comic was number 300. I would have said that sooner but I was away from my computer last week while visiting some friends in Washington DC.

Just another day


Blog

This is my third attempt at writing a review of the past decade. Let me tell you, it isn’t easy. Reviewing a single year is tough enough. I am going to try anyway. Be warned, I will be throwing a bunch of numbers at you so this isn’t intended for the numerophobias out there. It’s […]
