Day 220 of 365 days. I had made up my mind yesterday to do a Matrix picture today. For a couple reasons. One, I enjoyed my Scarface poster from the other day. And also, this weeks Class With Dave assignment was to do a Matrix inspired picture. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a very strong idea.…

Day 219 of 365 days. I’m always amazed at the kinds of toys kids have today. How much cooler they are than "back in my day." But the really odd thing about kids is how they can be amused by very simple things that maybe grown-ups take for granted. Steph and I went to a…

Day 218 of 365 days. Three days of color in a row. It’s been a long time since I did that. And Max is still out of the country so I can’t even brag to him about it. Had a busy day today and no time to really come up with any thing crazy. Finally…

Currently in explore

As far as I can tell, I’ve had 65 pics in explore at one time or another (at least that I’ve caught in Scout), but this is the most I’ve ever had in at once. Maybe I’ll update this anytime I notice that I’ve reached a new high.

Of course, I’m sure tomorrow I’ll drop down to four or something.

Day 217 of 365 days. I was looking through my previous pictures earlier and just enjoying seeing where I’ve been and what I’ve done, and I realized that I hadn’t really done a simple portrait in quite a while. I’ve just been taking shots that were somehow related to my day and talking about that.…

Day 216 of 365 days. The kids have been wearing these crazy shoes lately with roller skates built in. There have even been a few news stories about them (don’t let your kids wear Heelys, they’ll bust their skulls). I’ve seen 8-year-olds zipping around the mall on them from time to time in the last…

Bus Accident

Bus Accident

For Class With Dave. Assignment: Reportage

Two city blocks in the Carrick region of Pittsburgh were blocked off today by police and fire personel after a minor accident involving two city buses and a gasoline truck. While the police were detouring traffic around, I took the opportunity to park my car and take advantage of my good luck for this weeks assignment. Not as cool as when I witnessed a shooting a couple months ago, but it was something.

For Class with Dave. Assignment: Fill the frame

I actually fill the frame on portraits all the time, so I wanted to do something a little different. I ended up stopping by the Mt. Oliver Fire Department on my way home the other day and asked if I could take pictures of them cleaning their trucks. Initially I was going to use that as my "newsworthy" photo, but frankly all of them sucked. But I did like this shot and so here it is.

Day 215 of 365 days. Found out today that I didn’t get one of the jobs I was up for. I don’t know that I’m super-bummed out about it. It wasn’t the greatest job ever or anything like that, in fact if I were offered everything I have applied for lately, that would not have…

Day 214 of 365 days. I had a job interview today. Went in and was corporate Mav. Or as close to that as I get these days. I probably could have gotten SOME job a while ago, but I’ve been so unhappy with SOME job in the past that now I’m pretty much laying all…
