2026-08-20Hello!I saw a quote somewhere that read something like: "young writers only write about themselves, not realizing that bad autobiography is the most oversaturated genre on the internet." This blog is not that high above the...
2026-08-19Hello!We are close to Day 200 on dpanphoto, and I'm compiling a list of links across the internet that I find interesting. If there's a website I should know about, please contact me! I do this, in part, because it helps me...
2026-08-18Hello!This is the final photo from my drained creek photo series. I wanted to highlight the influence the creek had on this woods, my personal connection to it, and the physical mark it leaves behind when it's dry.I didn't...
2026-08-17Hello!I found more images on this creek in the woods. I don't have much else to say, but I find the act of writing itself to be a bit soothing during such a busy month, so here I am.When I get the time, I do plan on asking the...
2026-08-16Hello!I parted ways with John the local and started walking back to the trail entrance.As I was leaving the woods, the rain started to fall. I was following the trail, so I knew I would make it back to the parking lot; I was...
2026-08-15Hello!An older gentleman named John came up to me and said he found a "water snake". He pointed to it, curling around a branch hanging over the creek. I tried to capture a photograph of this snake, but it was too obstructed by...
2026-08-14Hello!I don't know what caused this creek to dry up. It would be easy to attribute it to the climate crisis at large, but I wonder if the water is pooling up in a different spot. It's not like this area hasn't had rain — there...
2026-08-13Hello!As I write this, I am surrounded by many people on their screens. Playing mobile games. Watching vertical videos. I've been toiling away at this website for hours, writing articles and queuing them up to lead to these...
2026-08-12Hello!The bird feeder is empty, I think. It has squirrel protection — the dome at the top should prevent squirrels from taking the birdseed — but squirrels are clever, so I wouldn't be surprised if they ate the week's...
2026-08-11Hello!People from this area might be able to identify the specific historic park is being renovated, but I don't want to reveal it just yet until it's done. For now, I'm just using photography to document the progress and...
2026-08-10Hello!Small garden, native plants, colorful, and interesting. I've got a style.In fact, I've taken photos like this in May of 2026. I'm seeing and appreciating the blooming and growing flowers this summer as well, and this one...
2026-08-09Hello! I must have underestimated the amount of photos from that photowalk in the woods. When I'm used to the grays and greens of a controlled living space, any bits of organic color from the wild pop out to me.I also must have...
2026-08-08Hello!Continuing from yesterday, I went to the woods and walked on a trail for a couple of hours without listening to music of any kind. I can't say it was meditative, but it was at least a calming experience that I...
2026-08-07Hello!Near the entrance of the woods, the keepers put up signs of a wildflower garden under construction, for native plants and animals. It's a small thing, but local efforts like these warm my heart a little.Last time I was...
2026-08-06Hello!Don't do this. Don't scratch the bark off trees to write names and notes. It's as bad as throwing keys into a river after attaching a lock to a photogenic bridge in the name of love.It injures the tree's health, and while...
