A Path: Apathy
There was a time in my life, from late high school and for several years afterward, where I embraced a philosophy of my own design, which I called “aggressive apathy.” The idea was that not only did you not give a shit about what everybody else on the planet concerned themselves with, you went out [...]
More Reverse Macro Crap
I found a fly in our apartment this morning (which is weird considering it’s almost January), so I caught him in a mason jar and threw him in the freezer while I set up my camera gear. After about 15 minutes, I took him out of the freezer and dumped him onto a sheet of [...]
My First Photo Contest
I completely forgot to mention anything about this, so I figured I would for posterity. There’s a local non-profit that holds photo contests to raise funds/awareness of other local non-profits. First place in their contests is a D90 (the new version of my current camera), so I had been watching them for a while, entertaining [...]

I knew today wouldn’t be amazing because I’ve been unemployed for a little [...]
Blueberry Mullins, Rei Ayanami
Was digging through old backups, as I do from time to time, and found a collection of the stuff from the first website I ever created, The Living Dead. Thought I’d upload these two unfinished comics from the site, both drawn by Ben. The first one, Blueberry Mullins, I think was an “origin” story, tying [...]
Playing with Product Shots
It’s been nearly a year since Nina bought me my first speedlight, and one of the first things I tried to shoot with it was a bottle of beer. I decided now that I have a couple lights and some modifiers I’d try it again, since I’m a little better at controlling light. You [...]
