2026-06-21Hello! My camera is still out of order, and I'm still cleaning up my photography files.I'm also trying to get over the fact that internet strangers are outnumbering people I know in my readership audience. That's not just people who I know offline, but anyone who has sent me an email and said hi. There's...

2026-06-20Back at the car show...Hello!I'm writing short articles to accompany previous photos that I thought should have been included on this website anyway. I've got a massive backlog on my computer of both recent and old files that I need to tread through, and this time away from taking photos will hopefully be...

2026-06-19Hello!It's fitting that today is a federal holiday in the US, and I meant to publish article for Juneteenth today. I ended up publishing that article a few days prior, and it's more connected to the history that I learned regarding Juneteenth.While traveling north, I stopped by Augusta, the capital of...

2026-06-18Hello! This photo was the result of a collaboration with WikiPortraits, although not in the way one might expect.I've worked with WikiPortraits before, but this time, I was able to try a piece of every part of a long process before I'm able to take a photo. I got the idea and recommendation to photograph...

2026-06-17Hello! I lied. Have another photo from the Acadia National Park. It's just too good!This time, it's the early sunrise. Even at four in the morning, the sky had brightened enough to walk around outside without needing a street lamp or flashlight. It was crazy.This is me returning to my minimalist...

2026-06-16Hello!Thank you very much to those who have passed me some funds yesterday and early this morning. I appreciate the support. For those who don't know what I'm talking about: I'm putting together a budget to repair my photography kit after some unexpected failures.Tip JarI'm not going to go through the full...

2026-06-15Hello!I'll get to talking about the photo at the end. Because I have to admit a rather pressing issue right now with my photography kit. I don't like talking about my gear. I hide it away in the technical info, for nerds, and leave it be for those who are interested. I've found a kit I like: two lenses...

2026-06-14Hello! I published this article a little too early for folks subscribed via newsletter. You're welcome, I guess?This would be a perfect article for Juneteenth, but I'm already starting to forget details of this adventure so I better start writing it down now.I've been to loads of local events, including...

2026-06-13Back at the river boat showcase...Hello!I've realized that a lot of my shots are not quite minimalist, but definitely not busy and overloaded. I position myself at a reasonable distance away from the hotspots and the chaos, and the resulting images sometimes fit in a mix between lonely and calming.A side...

2026-06-12Hello!I'll first address the black circle surrounding the image. This photograph was taken with a three-second exposure time, meaning that the camera sensor was exposed to the light for three seconds, gathering all the photons and making an image. Normally, photos are taken within tiny fractions of a...

2026-06-11Hello! I'm still not back home yet.I'll be able to talk about this trip as a whole with better accuracy once it's in the past and I have the power of hindsight and recollection, rather than an unfiltered and live stream of thought put into writing.In the meantime, I'll just focus on this one image.This...
