Darktable Negative Inversion

Blog, Photography

We took a trip to Italy recently and I brought along my Ricoh XR-7 and ten rolls of film. During the trip, I ended up shooting eight and a half rolls (three color, five black and white). At home, I had three rolls of color film I was holding off on developing until after the […]

Zenobia Camera Test

Blog, Photography

Picked up a small 120 folder for cheap at a thrift store and put a roll of Kentmere Pan 400 through it to see if the 75-year-old camera could hold its own against my fleet of cameras.

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 […]

A Song of Ice and Fire: A Storm of Swords


Books

I find it hard to talk about the Song of Ice and Fire series because there is so much that happens in each one of them. I could have reviewed the first two by now, but I didn’t know where to begin. I’m going to assume you have read them already, however, and this might contain some plot spoilers. […]

HIMYM – Mystery vs. History


Blog

This week’s episode of How I Met You Mother – Mystery vs. History had two great story lines which managed to tie themselves together. For once, this season, I wasn’t dreading the scene change to Marshall and Lily. Ted was back to being his usual, self-destructive dating self. At the beginning of the episode, Ted lands himself a […]

Big Bang Theory – The Russian Rocket Reaction


Blog

The Big Bang Theory is one of those shows this season which I’ve felt like it’s taken some time to get back in it’s groove. I haven’t felt the story line has been up to par nor have I thought the jokes to be on and nor have I really seen some spectacular acting. but this […]

Community – Remedial Chaos Theory


Blog

Community came full force this week. Every now and then they have an episode that goes above and beyond the usual methods for storytelling. For example, the two(/three) paintball episodes, the second season Christmas episode, Abed’s birthday, and the Dungeons and Dragons episode. This was one of those episodes. The episode revolves around a housewarming party […]

The Office – Garden Party


Blog

What I’ve noticed The Office to be lacking this season, came back full force in this week’s episode, Garden Party. The show has been missing comedic charm and the back and forth between the characters. It’s almost as though when Steve Carell left The Office, the actors and actresses who had come to know each other […]

Modern Family: Hit and Run


Blog

I’m a recent convert to Modern Family and I can easily understand why. This show is great, multi-faceted and never in danger of not having something going on. There are some who will tell you that they have issue with all of the dads on the show because they’re typical sitcom dads who’ll screw something up […]

HIMYM – Field Trip


Blog

I’ll admit, when I updated the layout of my website a couple of months ago, I thought it’d be a lot easier to keep up writing about new episodes of my favorite shows on a regular basis. It’s not, as it turns out. I think it has to do with me playing catch up all […]

Fat Sandwich Dreaming


Peace Corps

About two months ago I had a nightmare which involved a god-awfully delicious/deadly sandwich dream at Fat Sandwich. I resolved to get one while I was back in America to satisfy my hunger. I failed to do this due to a lack of time in my schedule. Today, I see the folly in my ways. […]
