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

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 […]

God does not wear condoms


Blog

Catholics don’t like condoms because if they did, Jesus wouldn’t have been born.–Charles Lim Normally I don’t accredit my quotes to the actual person who said them, but I thought this one was a special case. Call me crazy, but I think this Charles Lim character is dumb. Unfortunately for me, and the others in […]

Going to be a little late on the comic tonight. A friend came into town who I haven’t seen since December and it distracted me. My apologies.

Point Microsoft


Blog

I made a crack at Microsoft the other day. I get frustrated with their software at times. The problem is, I rely on them. Everything I have works on Windows and it would take far too long and possibly too expensive to get things running the way I want on another OS. I said something […]

Chrome knight to take down established empires


Blog

I came into work this morning and I booted up my computer to find some interesting news. I always have a tab open with Twitter up, that way its there when I need it. I also found that ‘Trending Topics’ is the only way that I get news when the student paper is not being […]

Resignation


Blog

We have a special today, tin signs are only $15. This is a common refrain of my boss at the Poster Master on State Street. I always wondered why no one ever called him out on this. It is not a special if, like the faded signs around the store stated, that the signs are […]

Crockpot


Blog

I am a fan of the Crockpot. Whoever the person was that invented it, I would double high-five them while doing a triple-hypothetical-five with them also. The ease at which I can make a meal is amazing. And since my mom gave me an old Crockpot cookbook, well I have a ton of recipes of […]

Intro to Parenting


Fiction

Richard and Laura had been married for three years. Their life was enjoyable; Richard worked at law firm downtown as an accountant and Laura waited tables at the diner four blocks from their home. The house they lived in wasn’t large, nor was it small; it was a ranch with two bedrooms and one bath […]

I just wanted to let everyone know that I posted a new story today. I have to admit that I am quite happy with how this one turned out. It certainly received better responses during workshop than I expected. I had the feeling that I might be a decent writer after all. It’s another long […]

ZZ Tops style


Blog

I’m growing an employment beard. It is similar to an unemployment beard but instead of not shaving because I have no reason to look good, I don’t shave because I am working three jobs and don’t have the time.
