August 10 on 10: Troubleshooting.
I will get back to this blog eventually--honest. I actually debating skipping doing this 10 on 10, since there are a ton of other things I should be doing, but I ultimately decided to cameraphone it, so that way I could keep some continuity going. Yesterday was all about troubleshooting. OK, maybe not all, but mostly. Over the course of the →
February 10 on 10: Macro lens edition
10 on 10: A photo taken every hour, for ten consecutive hours, on the tenth of the month. ~~~ For this month's 10 on 10, I opted to bust out the 100mm macro lens, since I just couldn't stomach the idea of trying to make my work day photographically interesting yet again. "Here's me with a student. Here's me working on a →
Heaven: on sale for $4.00 per quart
When you look at the first picture below, ignore the cupboard door that doesn't shut. Why doesn't it shut? Because this place is almost 100 years old and has at least that many layers of paint on everything. NONE of the doors around here shut right. You can try to shut something, but it's going to almost immediately pop back →
Help me pick a 2010 picture of the year!
I meant to post this on Saturday, but I ended up posting those fireworks pictures instead, because I liked how they turned out. So here is my second and last "year in review" post --help me pick a "best picture of 2010" shot by posting in the comments with the number of the one you like. :-) Here's a link →
$1.25 plus tax = yummy cheap fast dinner
While I can cook, I admit that I tend to be fairly lazy about it. I don't really have much of an excuse, other than being perennially busy and finding other things I'd rather spend my time on. Also, I'm cheap. I kind of have to be, given that I'm a high school teacher and grad student who has three →
Take Five. I mean ten. December 10 on 10.
The idea of 10 on 10 is to, on the 10th day of every month, take ten pictures -- one each hour for ten hours. It's a "snapshot of daily life" kind of thing. :-) ~~~ For some reason, I woke up yesterday with Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" stuck in my head--I'm not sure why, but the first thing I did when →
Got leftovers? Try Thanksgiving Pie!
I promise this hasn't turned into a food blog. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course, it's just not my thing. I *can* cook, but I'd rather go to the effort of taking pictures of food than actually cooking. :-) The one thing I love more than the Thanksgiving meal are days of Thanksgiving leftovers. No matter which butter →
Traditional day-after breakfast: Grant’s pumpkin pancakes
This is a special bonus post to participate in Sarah's Thanksgiving recipe exchange -- it seemed like fun, and come on, who doesn't like pancakes? :-) On Thanksgiving, family descends upon my parents' house for a couple of days of food, games, music, and vicious table soccer tournaments. Part of the tradition is for my cousin Grant to make pumpkin pancakes →
We interrupt these trip pictures to bring you a magazine cover!
Back in May, I got my first paid photography job -- photographing some San Francisco-related things for a cover and the cover story for the magazine The Bourbon Review. Go me! Here's a link to the article (opens a PDF)--the pictures on pages 1, 4, and 6 are mine, as is the shoreline one on page 5. SWEET!! Many thanks →
