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 […]

Thor


Blog

I’m not a Thor fan. I haven’t read up on his mythology and I don’t follow his comic books. I’m just a guy who likes to watch a good superhero movie. I won’t be discussing actually accuracy to mythology or comic books or the way your mother told it to you when you were twenty. […]

Turning the day around


Peace Corps

Today started out as a pretty crummy day for me. I’m not quite sure why. I woke up tired, but I’ve been tired all week; I even managed to accomplish more of my new daily exercise routine before I left for school. I had been getting too tired to go on during the previous few […]

Bad News Bears


Blog

I was in the mood for a little bit of baseball today so I decided to throw in Bad News Bears. I haven’t seen this movie since I was a kid and I can only wonder why my parents let me watch it at a young age. The language is hardly the kind you’d want […]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows – Part 2


Blog

Maybe I wrote too soon when I lamented in my post about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows – Part 1 when I expressed how I wish they would have included Dobby’s gravestone. I felt that the gravestone left me with such an emotional feeling, I truly felt the loss that Harry felt, that it would […]

Community paintball I love you


Blog

I finally had time to catch up on Community. It took me about two days to watch the second season and that’s only because I had to worry about going back to work. The season as a whole was quite good with a lot of homages to various movies and shows. But, if you ask […]

The high-end Kindle


Books

With the amount of time I have, I read a fair number of books. I always have and I suspect I always will. About a year ago I received my first Kindle. It changed reading for me forever. I thought, like many people yet to own a Kindle, that pages and physical copies are important. […]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows – Part 1


Blog

The whole world will know my joy when I see a movie remake of a book and am completely satisfied. Today, however, is not that day. I may be a little behind the times but I finally was able to sit down and watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1. Let me be […]

Reporting again


Uncategorized

My apartment was wired for internet yesterday and I finally had a chance to update WordPress. However, the newest version of WordPress doesn’t like my custom theme and that’s why the page is looking funny. I think this means it’s about time I do a redesign. More later.
