That feeling when every photo you take has some sort of technical or style deficiency. That moment when you tell yourself to shut the hell up, enjoy the damn view and have a little faith in your...

Did I already post this picture? I could probably look but I’m lazy. This is also a giant ad for Airtran. I don’t mind. Their GoGo in flight interwebz is awesome. I don’t think I’ll be taking another flight until the last quarter of this year. This’ll be tough for someone like me...

Do you ever feel nature is reaching out and trying to talk to you? No, not after you have some E. I found this leaf curled into this beautiful cursive S, just hanging out in the dead remnants of what was probably a lush vine in the Spring. Sssss….unira....

This little guy sat patiently while I shot him from several angles. His profile is his best side, though. :) Macro photography has always been my strongest passion in the field. Something about capturing the details we overlook in everyday life appeals to me. I’ll be honest: I simply...

I was looking though my old photos from around my birthday looking for a picture of me when I came across this picture of my friend Sam. The man’s a good writer, and a budding blogger. Check him out. I had taken it though the dirty glass at a cabin in the mountains, covering his working...

Veronica Maggio’s voice is soft, a muse-like melody floating into your ears. Her gypsy-like undertones mixed with a general bump from the european lounges make for a wonderful listen. The swedes know how to make a solid chill tune. The song to listen to is Kan inte säga nej. Check it...

I dream about this stuff that I shouldn’t eat. But you bet your ass next time I’m in Fort Myers, I’ll be buying a box....

Jeremy and I were taking a walk in a local park last week. While discussing some philosophical topic or another, the sound of propellers fell on our ears and we looked up to see a yellow biplane making it’s way over Duluth. Jeremy’s got a thing for old stuff. He dreams of one day renting...

It’s so gray outside. I miss the vibrant colors of fall. I did get out this weekend but surprisingly had no desire to take more photos.  Maybe soon, my muse will appear but until then I’ve got some bits from 2011 to share with you....

Since I’ve been back, I’ve been focused a bit on reining in my eating habits. Before I left for India, my eating habits consisted of no breakfast, randome eating out for lunch and whatever I could scavenge in my own fridge for dinner. Usually this was a low vegetable, processed,...

It’s mobile photo Friday again, where I showcase some photos taken, edited, and posted entirely from my phone! Today I’ll post a few I took in India on my last day there. A large temple looms on the street where I was buying fruit from a vendor. Clothes are hanging out to dry...

It looks like my friends and I are planning another cabin trip coming up in February. This time it’ll be a ski trip. I’ve never gone skiing before so I’m getting pretty excited already! I think I’m getting over my post travel slump. I even took a shower this morning and didn’t pass...

This wonderful fruit stall vendor sold us some fruit but as we were leaving, she slipped two guavas into my hand as a gift, as a gesture of kindness. It was obvious we weren’t really natives. I really appreciate that about a lot of the people here. They are poor as dirt but they still have a...

Dear people on the internet that read my blog. I am overseas. I am also unbelievably bad at updating my blog when I am not half-drunk on a plane. Here is thispicture I took on my phone the morning of my last flight. So far I have only been taking pictures with my cell phone. There’s...

Warning, this is uncensored, unfiltered, and possibly illogical me. :) So here I am on my flight to London. I think we’ve been in the air for about six hours. We’ve got about 3 hours left and I just cannot get to sleep. It’s definitely not for lack of trying. I even had two reasonably...

I like to, every year or so, go back and look at how I started getting into photography…the months where I thought putting ugly black borders with titles and copyrights on my photos were okay. The years I  worked with a cheap 4.1 MP camera because I was falling in love with photography...

That means reflective river romance, people. All I had with me was my P&S and well… you can tell. Image quality fail. BUT… hopefully you’ll just be so blinded by the stupid cuteness it won’t matter. AMIRITE? It’s just shadows. This way you don’t have to be scarred by full on...

In two weeks I’ll find myself at the airport boarding a flight to India. I have some mixed feelings about it. One, I am super excited about the trip. It’s been exactly one decade since my last visit. Things are going to be very different from how I remember them at 16. Two, I am a bit...

I’ve been playing with Lightroom 3 and so far I like it! I thought I was going to miss the control over details that I had in Photoshop but the adjustment brush is way awesome at fixing that caveat. Working this image was definitely fun. It was easy to reduce all the noise without any real...

For having such a strong aversion to spiders, I sure do take a lot of photos of them....
