My oldest nephew graduates high school this year
That seems like an insane thing when it seems like he was JUST THISBIG. Like so (2007): He’s about to be a man now, about to bust into the adult world. Guh. I got to shoot his senior pictures over the weekend. He wanted to have them done on the farm rather than on the grounds of the Pickwick Inn or wherever the standard Hardin County senior shots are done. We crammed the whole shoot…

The happy (hopefully) hawker
Saturday morning at 6, I will rise out of bed like a very large, potentially grumpy phoenix and make my way to Cooper-Young to set up my booth for Cooper-Young Festival. I’ll be in C7, which is over by Cafe Ole on Cooper. I’ll be selling the same sorts of things that are available in my Etsy shop: photo prints (framed and unframed), quirky art prints, crafty things, note cards, recipe cards, posters, magnets, and…

I only screamed once while taking this
And that’s because she spazzed out and made some sick-looking movements, I guess because a grasshopper nearly got caught in the web. Dumbass. Anyway, this spider has been living just outside my front door, suspended between the coral bells and the lavender mums, for weeks now. I have left her alone. She lives just below my porch light so I imagine she eats pretty well. She has a companion of sorts (a kid?) who appears…

That was dumb
I just drove all the way downtown to a stretch I have been wanting to photograph for two weeks, only to drive right past it, scowl at how the setting sun was backlighting it, and then come back home, grumbling about how I sure hope my child is talented because I am a hack who will never make art again, blah blah blaaaah. And now I’m in my underwear eating cereal and confessing this to…
I hate/love nature photography
Dream job
Somewhere out there, people get paid to take photographs of butterflies and flowers. I could do it all day every day for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.
photography poetry
An overused quote, but one I think of often
Risk And then the day came, when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to Blossom. — Anaïs Nin

Tending shop
Last week I applied for and secured a booth at Cooper-Young Festival, where I hope to sell photo prints (framed and un-) and stationery, as well as take orders for custom designs should people be interested in that sort of thing. I’ve also got some other artsy crapola knocking around in my head that I hope to be able to hammer out between now and then. I’ve never done a festival before so trying to…
Project 365 (2011)
Programming note
I’ve been feeling real lackluster lately about my Project 365. I just don’t have the energy or motivation most days to take the kind of photos I want to take (meaning good and interesting), and then to process them and post them. I am … how do you say … MILDLY DISTRACTED by other life events. The thought of not having to worry about a daily picture lifts a burden, although it was a silly…
