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 […]

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. […]

Holly days


Blog

So everyone knows, I made it through the holidays. Our family had an unexpected guest that we needed to cope with. It was a good learning experience for us. I think each of us took something away from Christmas because of it. Gifts were received, in case one might be curious. I received a few […]

Junior year


Blog

I have been meaning to write this post for a few days now. Obviously I haven’t written it yet. Some good does come from my procrastination though. Had I written three days ago instead of now, I would have had less to talk about. It has been a weird week, a weird month, a weird […]

Got ’em all


Blog

It has been a long time since I have felt nervous sitting in a barber’s chair. A long time, that is, before yesterday. I do not recall a time when I ever did not want to sit in a chair for a hair cut. The thought never bothered me, though I am sure my parents […]

Good times around the bend


Blog

A few quick things to help me procrastinate. Tonight is my last night of work at the newspaper. While I am sad on leaving some aspects of the job, I cannot wait for my liberty. Now I just need to find a new job for next semester. I hope all of those resumes I sent […]

Mine is not a fashion statement either


Blog

I have had a quote from this on file for a while now. In an attempt to procrastinate, I finally looked up where the quote came from. The article made my day. It more or less sounded like it was my own voice. Please take a gander: Why I still use Windows. My quote is the […]

Amber Glow


Fiction

As I look around I see boxes everywhere. Clothes are spilling out of suitcases and slowly making their way into dresser drawers, seemingly by themselves. Cables are sitting in a tangled mess on the floor after someone attempted to remove the one they needed and apparently failed. Computers have been placed onto separate desks and […]

Media writing and silence


Blog

I want to say that this week has been really productive and I was able to finish everything on time. That is true for the most part, but it wasn’t because I was working harder or anything. I just had less to do this week. I am not complaining. I finally was able to finish Deadwood […]

A writer


Blog

I tested out Google’s Chrome. As of right now it is lacking a few features that would entice me to use it. Most importantly, I feel, it needs the ability to do a quick drag scroll when you click in the mouse wheel. As a whole, it is my kind of browser, clean and simple. […]

Dipped in Chrome


Blog

I am writing this post within Google’s latest product, Chrome. It apparently is a minimalist’s web browser. I do not have much to say about it at the moment, but after I have tried it out a little more I will give you my thoughts. As of right now it will pass my initial inspections […]
