2026-09-25Hello!Ahead of the Vox Populi exhibition titled "An Endless Meeting: Collective Process, Artistic Labor, and the Politics of Working Together", I took the portrait of one of the artists through almost pure coincidence.I figured I might as well upload this portrait to Wikimedia Commons now that I have the...

2026-09-24Hello! Font time.I've talked about fonts as anecdotal stories before, and at the recommendation of an email I received back in May, I'm going to start posting sketches of my font work. I'll have to tiptoe on the right side of the line between simple inspiration and copyright infringement, but here's hoping...

2026-09-23Hello!While doing menial office work, I found myself bouncing between twenty different projects and tasks. They're not challenging tasks, but the sheer number of incomplete things overflowed my capacity of clarity.I hate to talk about productivity or self-help, but given that this is a mere anecdote to my...

2026-09-22Hello!I read an article on PetaPixel that inspired me to print my photos to hang up on my wall. I chose this photograph that I haven't published online before. It's a photo similar to Day 130 when I visited Acadia National Park.I used the adhesive strips to hang these up, because for whatever reason, I...

2026-09-21Hello!I have half a mind to buy up some of this collection. I'm not saying where it is, in case I ever return for real, but the prices were reasonable enough where I could justify spending money on this.I ought to look up the history of certain cameras — I don't know much about Minolta or Olympus! This...

2026-09-20Hello!I'm not familiar with architecture or design, so I can't imagine the planning and permission required to install hundreds of reflective glass panels to cover this building (a parking garage?). It's like a modern skyscraper, but fancier and more fragile. And without scraping the sky.I remember the...

2026-09-19Hello! As I write this, I've long left the city of Philadelphia. I want to go back already. Maybe that's because I think I left something behind...On the road back, I got close to this low-hanging traffic light set and realized how massive it is. When street furniture like this is so far above human level,...

2026-09-18Hello!I didn't even notice this view; it was a coincidence. I also didn't plan the red gradient for the top half of the image; it was a coincidence.My final dedicated stop for this tour around Philadelphia was the university district (which is guilty of all sorts of urban renewal and gentrification, I'm...

2026-09-17Hello!I don't have much to say here. I ate some food to recharge in between my chaotic photography hunt for certain landmarks.The food wasn't all for myself, by the way(!) I was with some colleagues for the day and I'm glad they were able to contain my energy, if only a little. They know who they are.The...

2026-09-16Hello!I waited for a decent amount of time for something interesting to happen at this location. I had convinced myself that if I could get a good photo out of a dull store on the corner of a block, I would buy myself a bubble tea drink.I waited for interesting cars to drive by, or interesting people to...

2026-09-15Hello!Stepping back from the window made for an interesting composition through the camera. I wonder what I could have fit in the left third of the image, but as it stands, it remains dark for the middle window to bounce sunlight onto the right wall.It took me way too long to find each stop on my planned...

2026-09-14Hello!Three hours of running around Philadelphia has brought me some interesting photography opportunities as I went on a hunt to capture certain landmarks of the city. This being one of them.This is labeled the Friendship Arch. Or Friendship Gate. I'm not sure which. I don't even think it matters that...
