High School – Roll 10

Blog, Photography

This roll of film appears to be a potpourri of class assignments and a handful of these photos look great to me today. This is another roll where I decided that the photos I don’t remember from the bunch are much better than the ones I do remember. Some of the assignments include: reflections, depth […]

Solar Eclipse 2024

Blog, Photography

At the beginning of this year, I didn’t know that photographing the eclipse on film was something that I wanted to do. Heck, I don’t think it even registered for me that there would be an eclipse. Then, I saw some videos where people were hyping it up and why and suddenly I was hyped […]

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 […]

Blog

I hope you noticed. I mean seriously, you are here and it is all around you (or rather this). But I redesigned the site. I know I sort of kept it a secret, that is unless you followed my Twitter this past week where I had a bunch of tweets about it. Let me know […]

Private Interview


Fiction

“Why did you do it John?” “Why did I do what? Why did I try to change the nation? Is that why you are here?” “You know why I am here. And yes, that includes wanting to know why you tried to change the nation. I want to know why you took that upon yourself, […]

1st person narratives of same event


Fiction

Part 1 – It happened when I was little; I must have been five or six years old at the time. I remember it being warm out, the end of May. It was a nice day outside, the sun with a bright blue sky behind it with a scattering of white fluffy clouds. My mother […]

Norman Agate


Fiction

“If you will just sign here and the loan for your museum is yours.” “How about that? Just need to write the eleven letters that make up Norman Agate?” Norman replied, wiping the mucus from his nose. “Now I will finally be able to break ground on the future home of Steve and all of […]

The rider


Blog

I learned quite a few things between a span of a few hours today and yesterday. I had to return to my parents house this week to get a cavity filled and I could not think of a better way of getting home than riding the 10-speed that I put together. Have I mentioned that […]

I would be dismay


Blog

I was perusing Facebook this morning when I came across a random event and clicked upon it to view the details. I do not remember what prompted said clicking, so I check the event creator to see if it was someone I knew. I saw the following: Nick Leonard (Hope) (creator) That is quite the […]

I bought a lotto ticket today. I think today I might have better odds of winning than tomorrow or yesterday. I am not a superstitious person. There is only one curse I believe in, the Curse of the Billy Goat. Other than that, things happen because they happen. things don’t happen solely because they don’t […]

The right person to ask

I found this little gem on the Twitter feed. Enjoy! Tom_Godell@almightygod Someone from Kuwait just offered me $24 million via email to spread the word of God in the US. Should I accept their offer?

Are you there


Blog

I apologize for my absence. I want to hear no more about it. I like to think that there are more important things that I have been doing that have kept me from updating lately. The truth is, there aren’t. I convince myself that it is because of homework that I have not sat down […]

Peer review


Blog

I do not feel bad posting this: So after I was done, I took a moment to feel that good, sleepy feeling you get after you come, and then I got on my clothes, waved bye, and was on my way. That was a paragraph in a short story I am reviewing for class tomorrow. […]
