  • Random Photos

    ,

    I try make an effort to take a few photos most days that I’m not engaged in a specific photography project. This often results in a weekly photo dump of several hundred photos not worth mentioning here, but I want to post something so here’s the pick of the week…

  • Sunflower Field

    ,

    I happened to drive past a field of sunflowers today and decided to stop and snap a few photos.

  • Shitty AI Event Flyers

    This is probably not the rant you were looking for… I see a lot of people express this opinion on social media and sometimes in person: they are frustrated with AI-generated event flyers and posters and resentful that people produce them to promote local events. The thought is typically something along the lines of “No,…

  • Pollen Jock at Work

    ,

    Yesterday, Kim and I attended the annual Art Bazaar in Mars Hill, Maine. We had the tent and table set up with various items she put up for sale: paintings, prints, bookmarks, other illustrations, etc. Kim is an extremely talented artist who is always creating something new, so we need to sell some of it…

  • RSS is Still Alive

    I found a website promoting RSS feeds while scrolling through my RSS feed aggregator this morning: I ♥ RSS It is a site that provides a directory of other websites that offer RSS 2.0 feeds. I immediately submitted my site to the directory (since WordPress provides feeds by default) and added their badge to the…

He has recently taken to raiding the feeders and other areas where sunflower seed is left, much to the chagrin of…

  • Come Along, Deer

    ,

    We’ve had an unusually high number of deer sightings in our backyard this year. I think this morning marked the third or fourth time we have seen at least two deer in our back yard; mothers and their young or mated couples. This morning it was a pair of deer, one buck and one doe.…

  • Perforce: Still Secretly in Love with It

    I began using Perforce (they call it “Helix Core” now, which I will never accept) for change management starting at ATX Forms circa 2003. More than 20 years later I still favor it, for better or worse, over modern and far more popular — and arguably more capable — tools like Git. This post started…

  • Frog and Toad

    ,

    When my kids were little they used to love bedtime stories. We still have a collection of their books in our little library. One of their favorite series of books was Frog and Toad. I’ve taken several photos of the family of toads that hang out in our driveway every night during the summer. Last…

  • Textures and Impressions

    ,

    Here is a small collection of photos I took today. I made it a point to take the camera with me (with a 50mm lens) and just shoot things that caught my eye.
