Weekend Photo Outing
Just a guy with a weird antenna-looking thing on his back (360 camera on a stick), a drone, and a big-ass camera shooting photos and video of mundane stuff around town.

Fire in the Sky
The skies above Caribou put on quite a show this morning. When I woke up and caught a glimpse of this out of our bedroom window, I ran straight out of bed, grabbed my drone from the office, and bolted into the driveway — still in my underwear — to capture these photos. In case…

Fall by the River
Here’s a few quick photos I took while Kim and Jeannie and I went for a walk along the river bed this evening. I haven’t taken much time to walk along the river bed this summer. I’ve been busy processing photos, producing videos, building this website, and trying to figure out how to effectively use…

Graham Platner on Building Back Power Structures for the Working Class — and Using Them to Fight the Oligarchy
Graham Platner isn’t satisfied with the status quo. In fact, he’s downright pissed about it, and he’s not alone. As he begins his run for a position in the United States Senate in Maine, Graham is hosting a series of town hall meetings to speak directly to Mainers about his perspectives on the current state…

Graffiti Around Caribou
I’m not sure why, but I’ve always found graffiti fascinating. I don’t really understand the motivation behind it, nor do I understand any of the messaging, ideals, codes, or memes associated with most of it. Nevertheless, I’m always drawn to photograph it, if for no other reason than it’s something interesting to look at. Here…

Caribou’s Power Plant and Boring Childhood Car Rides
The site stands out in my mind as being almost iconic. I grew up in Van Buren, a small town near the Canadian border. We often traveled south to Caribou and Presque Isle to shop at Ames, Service Merchandise and the Aroostook Centre Mall — the mall was a bigger deal then — and maybe…

Misty Morning on the Bridge
I went out a little early this morning to capture some photos from the Fort Street Bridge while the river was still foggy. The fog over the river gave the old power plant a ghostly appearance — fitting, given that it’s slated to be torn down to make way for the Caribou Riverfront Redevelopment project.…

Caribou in 50mm
Today I decided to wander around town for a bit and take some photos with my 50mm prime lens. I have several lenses but only one prime lens. All the rest are zoom lenses of varying focal lengths — everything from 10mm to 250mm. The prime lens offers a much sharper image at the expense…

Recent Skies
While browsing my phone camera roll recently, I noticed that I’ve been taking some interesting photos of the sky. The featured image above is from Portage Lake on the Fourth of July weekend. Kim looked like a wizard summoning weather from the north (with her phone, as modern wizards do). The rest of these are…

Walkin’ ‘Round ‘Bou
Honestly I had never heard anyone call this town “‘Bou” until Kim posted it on Facebook yesterday. It’s kind of a cute name for this town. Anyway, Kim and I went for a walk with Jeannie around Caribou yesterday. We started off at the park near Collins Pond (is it still called a “pond” since…
