I really enjoy taking photos at night. I'm still playing around with my camera's full potential. It seems the more I look the more I can get around some of my limitations, whether it be with an intervalometer or some homemade gear.

Sig - Day 2 Picture 2

I've been getting into this technique lately, if nothing else for my own learning and curiosity. Its fun to have a blank canvas that is unlimited.
If you understand the process behind making a picture like this, you will know that as I'm making the photo, I really have no idea where these letters are or how they will look. Given this, it makes me laugh that I have my best penmanship when I'm doing it blindly.

Gotta love light scribin...

Crow - Day 1 Picture 1

I took this picture a few days ago, and true to the theme of this project, the meaning is in the story. Back in high school, what was probably around 2005 or so, I had a pet crow. His name was Duke and by "his" I mean I wanted him to be a boy so he was.
The idea of a pet crow was never something that I considered prior to this, much like any regular person. However I have this thing where I am always fascinated with exotic pets and the possibility of caring for something unique. Well it turns out in the spring that boy crows and girl crows make little baby crows, and these can be taken out of the nest for free. Now I don't recommend actually doing this but one way or another I acquired a young crow that spring.
Taking care of Duke wasn't so tough either, soak some puppy food (dog food would work but we have crow puppies here) in water and there you go, breakfast of champions.
Sometimes around March I'll see a crow nest and think about giving it another go.

One a day

I've been working on an ongoing project. The idea behind the project is to produce one picture a day. This is easy enough, but I want to produce a picture with meaning, every time. Now being on day #31 I'm starting to get the hang of this thing, and what I'm seeing most is that so much of the meaning behind these photos is the stories behind them. My original medium for this project was/has been facebook of all places. This was just because I realized I could change my cover photo everyday and that seemed fun. The thing is I only can write so much in a caption.
So here is where I will change paths a bit. I'm now going to post each picture on this blog, everyday. I will still post them on facebook, but the real project will exist here, with full stories to accompany each picture.

In da woods

I've been snowshoeing quite a lot lately, bringing my camera with me most days. It was unusually warm today, about 35 degrees. The snow was thick and heavy and the light was great.
Let me know what you think of the pictures, what you like and dislike, your feedback helps a lot!
