37

Blog

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

Blog, Photography

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 […]

Madison, Wisconsin Capitol – Fall 2006

Blog, Photography

I don’t have the usual gallery to share today. However, I do have 20 exposures from a roll of 24 all stitched into a single image. I used my Kodak Retina Reflex S camera with a 135mm telephoto lens, all of which was mounted on a tripod. This was the first roll I shot once […]

High School – Roll 13

Blog, Photography

This is the last of my rolls from my film photography class in high school. Following this class, I had a semester of digital photography which I didn’t enjoy. That class had too much emphasis on Photoshop edits and those aren’t really my thing. These photos, however, are not the last of the photos I […]

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

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 […]
