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 12


Blog

I feel awful, I spent the entire day yesterday and today not writing. Tomorrow I need to make up for lost time and to write for tomorrow, too. We’re talking 5,000+ words tomorrow. That’s almost as many as I wrote all of last weekend. I think I wrote about 4,200 words on Saturday though so […]

November – Day 11


Blog

To day is Veterans Day 2011, or 63 as I’m going to call it. Nerds will figure it out. Today’s task for my 30 Day Challenge was to give myself a testicular exam. This has been one of the easiest challenges yet. I learned a little today, I didn’t know that testicular cancer was so […]

November – Day 10


Blog

When this crazy month is over, I’ll sleep. Or I’ll wait until I’m dead. Whichever comes first. I was seeing double today while I was walking from the teacher’s lounge to class. I haven’t had a chance to work on my NaNoWriMo project yet today, Rose came over to use my oven and I wasn’t […]

November – Day 9


Blog

Today was one of those long days where I ended up doing next to nothing. I got a lot of reading done and I’m close to finishing A Feast for Crows. But I seem to have fallen behind in my other endeavors for today. I spent an unusual amount of time chatting with a girl […]

November – Day 8


Blog

I mentioned yesterday that I’d be having more writing coming my way later this month. I had looked ahead and saw that I’d be starting a journal as part of m 30 Day Challenge. Little did I know, I hadn’t realized that today would be the day I was to start a journal. My increase […]
