A good general rule of thumb for photography in DC: “Get Closer” It appears to be an almost universal impulse for tourists to stop when they see a famous building in DC, and take a picture or have their picture taken in front of it. And by in front of Continue Reading
So… after recently discovering that no one really knew what they were doing with my camera lens, I got a call yesterday about my other big toy that’s been in for repairs — the laptop. While replacing the case which had been cracking all to hell, they apparently damaged my Continue Reading
We’re going on 7 weeks since I dropped off my broken lens at Penn Camera to be fixed. So I thought I would bug them again since I was out running errands. The promised me a week ago they would call Tamron and check on it, and call me. Never Continue Reading
I’ve played 3 different video games recently. Two of them had great features I would love to see in more games; and one I could definitely do without. Just to quickly get the bad out of the way: I finally got around to playing Darwinia, a game put out by Continue Reading
“Do you think I’m a whore?” Well… you know… not ME. I only wish I had that kind of problem. But it’s a topic that seems to come up on a not infrequent basis. Women asking me as a representative of the male gender, if I think so-and-so physical act Continue Reading
My uncle is dying. He’s a good man. I’ve often said he’s the white sheep of the family. But I don’t really have much I want to say about that here. It sounds like he’s out of it at least as much as he’s coherent. I don’t know which side Continue Reading
When the hell did it get to be 4:30 AM? Last time I checked, it was 1:50. Then there was hawt chicks, and crepes. and music and … Oh I give up.
Often when I’m walking the streets at night, after being out with friends, (or while still in the act), I really have this urge to just wander and take pictures. Cities take on this whole new life at 2 or 3 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. Crowds fill the street Continue Reading
This week’s good Netflix: Californication, S2 Jeeves and Wooster, S1 Lord of The Rings: Return of the King John Waters: This Filthy World This week’s so-so Netflix: Interview I’ll be there Buck Rogers in the 25th Century This week’s bad Netflix: The Blood of Heros About Last Night Police Academy Continue Reading
zombieland. sunday. 3:10. mazza gallerie.
FWIW – this came from that last photoshoot I did that didn’t go so well. Obviously, my definition of “not so well” was pretty selective.
It’s come up in several discussions with friends that they don’t always bring their cameras into questionable areas, or places they could get damaged. It’s reasonable. But for myself, my choice was always to bring the camera just about anywhere. I’d rather run the risk — especially since these are Continue Reading
I naturally have no attention span. On one hand, it helps me keep an eye on everything going on around me. If you’re a designer, you have to be aware of a lot of things, since your work has to communicate with specific audiences, using mutually understood means. But when Continue Reading
Reminder: DC Shorts starts tonight. If you want to mooch off my free tickets, speak now or forever hold yourself. (Or … you know… buy your own tickets… they put a lot of work into this festival).
Okay… so I’ve now had my camera strap from My Funky Camera for about a month now. (See previous post on this topic). I’ve had one photo shoot, and a long weekend trip that is probably my most intensive camera use each year. And to give it the highest possible Continue Reading
So I was in a fairly bad mood by the end of the photoshoot this weekend. Normally on these shoots I worry about many things, and they always turn out much better than I expected. But in this case, to one extent or another, every concern I had expressed in Continue Reading
bad. fucking. mood.
Several people have asked me how I block various people from seeing some parts of my facebook feed, so… 1 – Go to your full contacts list. “Friends” -> “All Friends” 2 – Create a new list and name it whatever you want 3 – Add the people you wish Continue Reading
