blogging Memphis work

Won’t you be my beta tester?

Dearest Neighbors: Kerry Crawford and I are trying our hand at a little ol’ fashioned blog aggregation for The CA over at The Memphis Blog. The blog is still under construction (the design and functionality is going to change within the next few weeks; right now it’s hard to distinguish between my and Kerry’s posts, there’s a jump link even when it’s not needed, the RSS feed is janky, and eventually we’re going to have…

Day 83: Escape

Programming Note: This week I’m challenging myself to shoot only with my fixed 50mm lens, since I rarely ever use it. Let’s see how long that lasts! March is racing past us at a clip I’m uncomfortable with, and 2009 so far has kicked my ass in ways both good and bad. Last year was complete and all-encompassing madness from March until June, and it seems like that’s going to be the case again this…

Day 77: The Bachelor (Party)

Yesterday didn’t have the chance to be a great day, what with everything that’s happening at work. Some people who are close to me were affected and it absolutely sucks not knowing what to do for them. We are all going to need to make some serious decisions about the future, and even though we’ve been thinking about what to do for a long time, it still feels like being out in the middle of…

Day 56: Don’t Give Up

Lots of stuff happening, swirling around the glass, catching the light. I like it when my brain is occupied, and I like it even more when lots of different parts of my brain are occupied. Less risk of grey-matter atrophy then. Tonight I spent a hefty portion of time reacquainting myself with Flash, after a multi-week hiatus. Lucky me, I got to dink with Flash 4 rather than the Flash 2 I was “trained” in.…

Day 37: Student for a Day

So I slept an hour last night and got up at 6:30 this morning. I can guarantee I won’t make that mistake again tonight; I am already crashing big time and I’ve taken NyQuil to make sure I don’t wake up for eight hours. If that doesn’t work then I am going to be in a lot of trouble tomorrow. It would probably involve a lot of car crying. This morning I made it to…

Day 36: Home Sweet Room

I’m in Durham, N.C., at a Comfort Inn near I-40, decompressing before a weekend blitz of multimedia training at UNC — Chapel Hill. I’m pretty excited about it; whatever I learn I’ll be expected to bring back and spread among the designers at the newspaper. So I’m hoping it’ll be chock full of good stuff. I am so so so glad I went ahead and got that shot yesterday. I’ve felt more or less like…

Day 30: Chompers

Sometimes you go to work and one of your assignments is to photograph plastic teeth. Which is one of the deliciously random reasons that I love what I do. [Project 365]
