filmtastic [not so much]

I saw a few weeks ago on Instructables.com where someone had retrofitted a roll of 35mm film into an older, medium format camera. Seeing as I have a few of those around, I tried it out. If only I had had some ASA200 film, these would have come out perfect. These were way overexposed, but [...]

good eats

The past couple of weeks have been pretty busy. Gift guides, restaurant guides, magazine deadlines, photos and everything else have really taken a toll on my free time (and energy). I did get to shoot some fun photos at one point in the chaos. The Plum Baker (aka ex-coworker Lindsay Beeson), asked me to shoot [...]

hello there, remember me?

Wow, I think this has been the longest I have gone between posts in almost ever! I have just been pretty busy with work and trying to have a life. I finally took some photos that I want to post, but I don’t think I am gonna be able to get through all of them [...]

self-portait [photo]

I wasn’t gonna post these due to how rough I looked, it was like 2am when I took these. I think it was even a work night, though that one I’m not sure of. Anyway, rough or not, I’m gonna put’em up. I normally don’t like to photoshop photos that much beyond corrections and touch-ups, [...]

mini-vacation [over]

So I have been on an unintentional hiatus. I’ve been way busy at work, trying to ride as much as possible to take advantage of the weather, hang out and just do whatever I can. I’ve been meaning to post something, but I seriously haven’t had anything worth writing about. Until today (well, since Monday [...]

some pretty things

Shauna made some cupcakes for her boss because he is being deployed back to Iraq (or at least back to active duty). I won’t post those yet, I’ll see what Shauna wants to do with them. Since I had the flashes set up, I decided to take a few shots of the closest thing to [...]

just a few fireworks

We went to Stephen’s house for the 4th of July, only we didn’t realize that his neighbors don’t like America. Well, they may, but they didn’t like fireworks. So it’s kind of the same thing. Anyway, before his neighbors got home we shot a few off. Then we ate. Stephen made some darn good burgers! [...]

70-200 equals awesome

This weekend I borrowed the Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR lens from work. Looking at this lens, you wouldn’t ever guess is was worth almost $2,000. It looks like someone threw it in a bucket of bolts and tossed it around for a while. I took some time to clean it up and try to get [...]

i went for a walk

One day at work last week, I ate my lunch and had some time, so…I went walking around, camera in-hand. I used to go out really late at night or whenever I got bored and just shoot. I seemed to always land myself downtown, because there are so many textures, looks, people and just whatever [...]

my desk [at work]

A few weeks ago, we rearranged a large portion of the office to accommodate our group of interns. It was refreshing to have a new feel to the office. Of course, a few days after that, I got the itch to move my desk. I have been facing a just-off-white wall since I started here [...]
