2026-09-01Hello! September will be the month of street photography for me, I hope. I know it usually includes faces and happenstance moments. Just have to set things up down the line to allow for such opportunities.I found this concrete passageway and found the leading lines of the rails to make for a good...

2026-08-31Hello!This long row of buildings was one of the the only structures on this flat, green field. This one, with its front porch crumbling, was not safe to enter.I don't know which building this was; they're all identical, set apart only by their decay.The National Park Service manages it, claiming these...

2026-08-30Hello!When I looked around the internet for street photography, I came across some award-winning images that were monochrome. So I know monochrome can look good, I just don't have the skills to make it shine. I'm hoping that this week of experimenting will help.I'm also going to be following a suggestion...

2026-08-29Hello!There are subway stations that are so above the ground, I took the stairs up to the top of a several-story building. The view was great.I made a similar image in the metro stations of Washington DC. This one is an improvement, I think. It's not as shaky, and the colors turned out better since it's...

2026-08-28Hello!Sichuan being a region from China that I know because of its pepper, and Flushing being a neighborhood in New York City, US, that was near the US Open tennis matches.My spice tolerance isn't great, but there are so many different types of hot spice that make the world of spicy food worth exploring....

2026-08-27Hello! This is an excerpt from Day 200, where I drafted a rant against the algorithmic apps that have changed people for the worse. I'm duplicating some of it here because the original article was long and cluttered. I hope this can be a cleaner version of the same text.I'll go right ahead and say that I...

2026-08-26Hello!I need to go back to Philadelphia one day. There are enough landmarks that I just haven't seen to make another trip worth it.Instead, my trips consist of shopping malls and home stores. While I sort through my latest bout of burnout, I hope that yesterday's page promoting interesting stuff across the...

2026-08-25Hello!A sequel to Day 100, where I gathered three hundred links. Most of them had little context attached, and it fell apart near the end. I regret that I didn't give myself enough time to allow that project to shine.This time, all the 200 webpages attached today have a whole paragraph of anecdotal...

2026-08-24Hello!I got in early to secure front-row seats to an all-day practice session between multiple tennis players at the US Open. They were free.The first athlete I saw was Jessica Pegula from the US, who practiced for about an hour and a half before the next session started.I saw well-known tennis players...

2026-08-23Hello!In the build up to Day 200, I've been trying to pull so many different resources from around the internet. It's looking like I'm going to be promoting less stuff this time around, but with more detail and context.Combined with other life obligations (and a possible case of burnout?) I've fallen a day...

2026-08-22Hello!I've completed another book. It's been a long while since I last did some extensive reading on paper — in fact, I've only finished four other books this year. This one, which I completed in August, is Semicolon by Cecelia Watson, a book studying the English language mark.This is a book recommendation...

2026-08-21Hello!Pets keep me busy. I didn't have to worry too much about them pooping in the wrong spots or breaking fragile objects, but they need exercise and food. They're also curious little fuckers.I'm not answering whether I'm a cat person or a dog person — there's a satisfactory answer in Tom Scott's...
