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 […]

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 […]

November – Day 25


Blog

We’re on the home stretch. Less than a week until this crazy month is over. If everything goes according to plan I’ll have done 3,000 push ups and 3,000 sit ups. I’ll have written 50,000 words towards my novel. I’ll have taken 30 days and 30 steps towards being a better man. And most importantly […]

November – Day 24


Blog

I took this today at noon: Chew on that. Happy Thanksgiving! I love this holiday because it’s a holiday where all you need to do is eat and then sleep. No gifts. No travel. No getting dressed up. No work. Take that every other holiday. I made some corn casserole to bring to our mini-Thanksgiving […]

November – Day 23


Blog

I need to get back in the writing mode. I let myself have a few days off this past weekend and now my mind is out of it. Tomorrow was going to be an afternoon of writing, until my class schedule got rearranged. I’ll get home an hour later but that already feels like a […]

November – Day 22


Blog

Today is my birthday. I was afraid that no one would remember that today is my birthday. One reason being that I’m not on Facebook any more. I tried being less obnoxious about it this year. Bot lo and behold, my school remembered. A handful of classes sang Happy Birthday to me and wished me […]

November – Day 21


Blog

I’ve been so bad at writing the past few days, being busy and being lazy are not good combined. I haven’t written a word since Thursday but tonight I’m going to churn a few out. I need to finish baking a cake and then I’ll ride the tail end of the caffeine in the coffee […]

November – Day 20


Blog

I’ve made it through twenty days already this month, even though my plans might kill a lesser man. I’ve become a better man, a stronger man, and a man of many words. But my journey isn’t over yet; I’m only pausing it to write this as I listen to my stir fry simmer on the […]
