2026-04-10Back at the university garden...Hello!It looks like I've sent up to one hundred emails out to each newsletter subscriber (one each day with the regular photo, as expected, and an additional daily email with the Originals for those who have supported me). I archive all my emails now, and going back, it's...

2026-04-09Hello! Well, this is something.Last month, I got in contact with WikiPortraits, an international organization that captures photos of people for Wikipedia and its sister projects. They let me go to the New Directors / New Films opening night in New York to take photos, and let me just say: oh my god i have...

2026-04-08Hello! My life has been flipping east and left and all around, and I'm signing up to crazy things this month. Loving every second of it. So enjoy a post including nothing crazy, written in the wee hours of the morning.I think that there are hidden gems all around town, and even when you've been to a place...

2026-04-07Hello! My homepage is getting boring, with all the landscape-oriented photos with the exact same aspect ratio. I oughta add a portrait of someone.This photo is near Washington Crossing, on the New Jersey side. But the bridge to get into the state park was blocked off. They were doing a prescribed burn on...

2026-04-06Hello! This is from the backyard of my home, where I'm planting wildflowers and watching tulips bloom from the bulbs I placed last summer. It's a beautiful time of year.No backyard is complete without a bird feeder, so I looked online for reviews and found this one that seems easy enough to clean. With a...

2026-04-05Hello! I wonder if I should make this the wallpaper to my laptop; I've been using the sunset wallpaper for almost a year now. If I ever share my desktop screen to classmates and friends, I'm sure to get a reaction. All the better.I had more than five really cool photos lined up this week, but they all got...

2026-04-04Hello!Look, I promise I'm basically out of photos from early March. I've been posting a lot of photos from that time, specifically in the four counties of Adams, Lancaster, Montgomery, and York.These images are just interesting to me! I almost always go outside with a camera, and I take photos of whatever...

2026-04-03Hello!This is a follow-up to yesterday's post, where I took a photo of the entire market at large. This time, I'm zooming into one booth, isolating an interaction between a single customer and a baker.When I took the wide shot of Lancaster Central Market, I thought about the market as a whole. How it could...

2026-04-02Hello!After watching James Popsys's video on the three shot rule, I thought I might give it a shot.I tried to capture the same scene, but from three different perspectives: wide, middle, and close-up. This is that wide shot; the middle will be tomorrow, and I'm thinking the close-up should be thrown in the...

2026-04-01Hello! As I predicted, I couldn't change anything for April Fools.Although, a friend of mine has made a brilliant extension for Google Chrome (and Firefox) to detect rickroll links — any URL directing you to Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley will be flagged. Hope it helps; be suspicious of things too...

2026-03-31Hello! Tomorrow marks April Fools, but I'm busy; I don't have the time to set up something fun. Sorry in advance.Today, after weeks of seeing bloody adverbs in my drafts, I'm going to try and eliminate all adverbs from my writing in this article. It can't be that hard, right? Creative challenges like this...

2026-03-30Hello! I've been staring at my empty screen, thinking of what to write about. So, fair warning: today will be a lot more incoherent than usual. And I'm a pretty incoherent guy.There's a bunch of photography ideas running around in my head. Before this website was even an idea, when I texted friends with...
