Day 1186 of 365 4 lyf. You know the only thing that sucks about the Steelers beating the Broncos tonight? The Broncos already lost last week, so we didn’t get the honor of breaking their undefeated streak. Oh well. A win is a win. 365 days

Day 1185 of 365 4 lyf. Ok, yeah… I’ve done this shot before. I’ve done a lot of the ones I’ve been doing recently before. I just don’t have time to be interesting lately. I don’t have time to do much of anything. I was thinking the other day how much I used to love…

Day 1184 of 365 4 lyf. Another day with no ideas. That means a prime opportunity to test my new light. One of the few things that you can do wtih strobes that you can’t do well with hot lights is frozen motion, so I figured I’d give that a shot. Well, it’s something different…

Day 1183 of 365 4 lyf. Welcome to the dark side. The well lit dark side, but the dark side nonetheless. Steph got me an Alien Bees B800 strobe for our anniversary, but it didn’t get here til today. I still much prefer hot lights, but even I have to admit, it’s nice to have…

Day 1182 of 365 4 lyf. Wasn’t feeling particularly creative today, and it was another long work day so I didn’t really do anything interesting. So I decided I’d fake creativity by using an angle. The 1960s Batman TV show always shot the villains at angles (really, go watch some episodes, you’ll be surprised) to…

Day 1181 of 365 4 lyf. So for our anniversary, among other things, Steph and I got brand new iPhones. There were a lot of reasons I was looking forward to this, but one that I hadn’t really been thinking about is how much better the built-in camera on this one. And if you’re gonna…

Day 1180 of 365 4 lyf. I need a bigger lens. Like a 2000mm lens. I’ve thought about purchasing one a few times. But on the other hand, I could just buy a car. I don’t even have a good use for one. But I could take pictures of the moon. I love taking pictures…

Day 1179 of 365 4 lyf. plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose Do you know what I was doing 1096 days ago? Exactly this. Do you know what I was doing 4017 days ago? Pretty much the same thing. Steph and I have been together for 11 years today. Only six more payments…
