I have new shoes! First pair of sneakers I’ve bought in about 15 years. (The old ones were getting a bit worn, believe it or not). I like em.

I had a fun weekend. More to come.

The right image.
There are images that should be captured. Moments that feel like they exist to show you something. Beyond just “I wish I had my camera”, they have everything coming together, and you can see it all slipping into place, and you know something’s going to happen. That’s about what I Continue Reading

Piggy Back
The picture’s a couple weeks old, but I still love it. It was a sort-of-miracle capture. I’m walking down the street, in the cold, while my friends are goofing around and walking at the same time. It’s dark, I don’t have a flash. Even shooting wide open on a 2.8 Continue Reading

The Pit
Most new buildings in this city actually go as far underground as they do above. Always disturbing to see these gaping holes in the earth, filled with little ant-sized men doing funny things. Of course they put parking down there. And I’m sure they offer generous storage space, since so Continue Reading

Burning the Midnight Oil
It’s now a bit after 6:30 am, and I just sent off some art to the client. I promised them something by this morning, and unfortunately I seem to be better working on this particular project in the wee hours of the day. But I quite like the design, (*knock Continue Reading

1 luftballon
Another one of my favorite photos. This time, it’s Shannon, as taken at the halloween party thrown by Jeff, last year. I love the look on her face, and the hair being pulled up by the static electricity. I love the ominous balloon looming overhead, and the skeleton peeking over Continue Reading

Man in the Mirror
Yeah, I know. It’s a pretty cheesy mirror shot. But it felt right. Five months ago, I tried pretty much the same thing. But I couldn’t lift one arm, and the other was shaking. And within a couple day’s I couldn’t even walk. Time passes, and I feel fine. But Continue Reading

Little Bits
Something just occurred to me. I took some pictures over to CVS to be developed, at 8×10 inches. Their kiosk, when you choose 8×10, gives you a blow up of your photo showing a proportional box where you can define the area of the image you wish to print. It’s Continue Reading

Indri sent me this picture the other day. Not bad at first look. But the more I looked, the more I liked about it. The lighting and the colors are at the same time subtle and bold. This pile of comfortable, bohemian fabrics across the bottom of the image–which is Continue Reading

Photos of Michelle
About two months ago, I went through my print photos. This wasn’t a small job. The main collection alone averaged about 2,500 photos. There was no organization, and probably half of them were not in albums. Most of them had never been labeled. And frequently, the negatives had fallen out Continue Reading

no common sense
When a high school student takes a picture of themselves giving the thumbs-down to a tacked up magazine photo of The Shrub — as part of a project on the Bill of Rights –, the photo developer turns it over to the police, who refer it to the Secret Service. Continue Reading

Sick, and bad tech
Didn’t accomplish jack shit, this week. Since Tuesday, I’ve had this throat-infection thing. It tried to start out as the flu, but the muscle pain went away relatively quickly. The pain in my throat, however, kept getting worse. I was awoken at 4 in the morning on Friday, ready to Continue Reading
