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 […]

Blog

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 […]

New Bike


Blog

I finally broke down and did some major upgrades to the old fixed gear I put together in college. I think the only original parts left are the handlebars and the brake lever. I’ve replaced everything else over the years. Just last week, I replaced the wheels and the frame with those of a bike […]

Side Hustle


Blog

I opened an Etsy shop! Ellie had gotten me a wood burning tool for Christmas and I’ve kinda gotten addicted to it in recent months. There’s a growing pile of wood burned boxes around our apartment, so I decided to start selling them (if anyone wants to buy). The first and only listing I’ve put […]

I got married. To the best woman I’ll ever meet. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I got married. I got married. I got married. I cannot say it enough. To be fair, not a lot has changed in our day-to-day. It’s what we wanted and it still feels more special.

Gardening


Blog

I think I want to turn this blog into a gardening blog. I have so many cool things, in terms of gardening, I think it would be fun to share them. For example, how many people do you know who have one of these growing? If you’re not aware, that’s tobacco. It’s my cash crop […]

Burning Out


Blog

I’ve been away for a while and for some reason I’ve been okay with that thought. It lingered at the back of my mind the whole time like, “I haven’t blogged in a while and I really, really should put something up,” but there never was just enough pull to get me away from the […]

Warby Parker Frame Selection


Blog

So it’s been a few years since I was in Spain and went out for drinks and got back to the hostel and locked my glasses in the storage locker. When I woke up, I found them broken. I think the ear piece must have gotten stuck in the hinge of the door. Really, I […]

Fixing the Beacon Coronet Fixie


Blog

On my bike ride into work each day, there’s this corner where I cut through a parking lot. It’s easier to swing the corner this way because it is at the bottom of the hill and I pick up too much speed to slow down comfortably and I don’t want to fly out into traffic […]

Gushing about my new job


Blog

Guys, I’m loving my new job. I started at the end of February this year and it is exactly what I imagined it to be, and then even a little more. Since it’s been a while, I now work at CODAworx.com as the Magazine Editor and Copy Editor. As I mentioned above, it’s exactly what […]

FriendShipMate.com is my new project


Blog

I’ve been busy lately. Work has kept me busy, in a good way. I really enjoy what I’m doing. But I’m always wanting something more, something I can control. Enter FriendShipMate.com. Some time last year, Tinder was a really popular app for people looking to have some sex with strangers. Many people I talked to […]

A Whole Lot of Changes


Blog

Okay, I think it’s time that I explain myself. For the past few months, I have done a terrible job keeping up with most aspects of my life and, unfortunately, this blog fell into that category. I think it’s time to come clean about it and to do so, I want to tell you a […]
