I think people consider me an artistic guy, possibly owing to my degree in art-go figure. Nevertheless, I’ve never been great at drawing. If I get some regular practice I’m not bad, so I’ve always sort of assumed that if I practiced enough, I could actually be good. And I like drawing. So I’m considering, for June, doing a drawing a day. Lord knows ( Read more... )

Yeah, this month’s project went down in flames pretty fast. While I found it beneficial for my photography, it was a little too disruptive and stressful for my life in general. I’ve had a spectacularly unproductive month, but a busy one. I’m thinking about what to do next month. Leave comments if you have any ideas, and stay tuned.

I was bad, bad, bad this weekend. But I have some photos for you from Friday. Still awful bland, but there’s actually a couple in here that I really like. Even just two days of taking photos on a regular basis has begun to reawaken the part of my brain that looks for good subjects.

Okay, so I was having mobile upload issues today. I don’t know. So I uploaded them all tonight. Which is preferable insofar as it gives me the chance to clean them up a bit beforehand. Here’s what I captured today:

Well, that was fun. Kinda. I’m glad my month of walking is done (and so are my feet, I’m sure), but I’m proud to have walked five miles almost every day for 30 days. I think I’m marginally more fit as well. For completeness’ sake: Yesterday I walked 5.3 miles and today exactly 5.

Tomorrow I start my May project: Photography on a schedule. Roughly ( Read more... )

Look at me, once again a lousy blogger.

This weekend myself, Roxy and our friend Tom went to Chicago for our friend Cara’s birthday party. It was a lot of fun, but I was bad and didn’t walk on Saturday in favor of sleeping in after a day of driving long distances, getting poured on by the sky, and partying. It is what it is. I did, however, manage ( Read more... )

Today I walked 5.2 miles and yesterday 5.7. Not much to report, except I ran into a friend from college yesterday. The weather has been completely amazing this week. It’s great to be able to walk in short sleeves. I’d like to buy a good pair of walking sandals, though-my feet demand to breathe.

I came across an article, or perhaps anecdote is more ( Read more... )

My weekend wasn’t that busy, but I feel like it was. I got out of my bubble and spent some time with friends, and got some good walking in. Today was utterly gorgeous. Yesterday was very nice as well. Friday, though, I was bad, very bad, and did not walk but a few blocks. It was rainy out, that’s my excuse. I walked essentially the same route ( Read more... )

An idea just popped into my head regarding photography. I’ve been kind of having a photography block for, well, longer than I’d like to admit. Much of this is related to habit, i.e. I haven’t made a habit of going out and photographing things. So here’s an idea, or the germ of an idea at least: Take photographs on a schedule. Carry a camera ( Read more... )

Well. Monday I did a stupid and didn’t realize until the next morning that I had only walked four miles. So that’s a four-mile day. But on Tuesday I walked all over downtown-sort of trying to break up my routine-for a total of about 6.8 miles, and yesterday I did 5.5. I’ve done three today and will probably do another three on the way home.
