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 […]

Gas Prices Are Low and I have the Travel Bug


Blog

So there’s a curious thing going on lately with gas prices and I’m not going to complain. My guesses is that it has to do with me getting my “old person” ID back in November. The state of Wisconsin issues driver’s licenses in the vertical format if you’re under 21 years old. Assuming you don’t […]

How to Make Friends


Blog

I don’t know if I’ve talked about this on here before–I know I’ve talked about it with a handful of different people–but, how do you make friends? Like, I legitimately want to know.  As far as I can remember, I’ve made friends when I’m in places where other people are trying to make friends en-masse. […]

Frozen Fox, I’m Still Walking


Blog

The new year came in and it came with a nice deep freeze and snow (Editor’s Note: Danny hates cold and snow and often ponders why he still lives in Wisconsin where both are abundant). Today, I had to make a split second decision, which I outsourced to a coworker with a simple, “Yes or […]

2014 Year in Review


Blog

I want to write about my year in review. Sometimes these posts get pretty long and detailed. I’m going to try to only focus on only one to a few details from each month. Bear with me. 2014 Year in Review In January, I travelled West. Ellie and I went to Arizona to celebrate a […]

A Few Things and Wishing You a Happy Holidays


Blog

Just a few things I want to touch on before the holidays are upon us.  I’ve been terrible at posting the past few months. I went strong for the majority of the year, then I just crashed and I’m not entirely sure why. I plan on improving on this in the new year. The Winter […]

Google Autocomplete Hates Moms


Blog

Technology is great, but I’m starting to wonder if it really knows what it’s doing. It’s starting to worry me, the kind of things that are popping up. Google autocomplete on my phone is being much more violent and aggressive towards mothers than it should be. Are a lot of people actually in need of […]

27 Things About Turning 27


Blog

I turned 27 a couple of weeks ago, so I decided to write-up a list of 27 things that went through my head recently about turning 27. I had to get a new driver’s license because the one I got at 18 expired. It’s something you think is always a few years out until you get […]

Marley After the Vet


Blog

Marley is all fixed up now. She recovered rather nicely and I’m making sizable dents in the amount I owe for the procedure. Fun fact, I was quote anywhere from $450-$950 for her procedure depending on how many teeth were pulled and other work that might need to be done. I feared the worst. The […]

Cat Dental Procedure for Marley


Blog

Marley is currently under the knife!  After I had taken Marley in to get checked up after she pooped some blood, the vet was harassing me for not getting her mouth fixed up sooner. I told her that it was too expensive for me to pay all at once (they don’t offer payment plans). She […]

Pick Apples from the Bin


Blog

I was going to write something different this week, but circumstances changed. Earlier this year, I perfected my applesauce recipe that’s the right amount of sweetness and spice and consistency. It tastes like candy, without being over sweet. It tastes like Fall, but also Spring, Summer, and Winter. It’s the right amount of everything and […]
