Between < and >
I’ve had a pretty shit week. If I wanted to sugarcoat anything, I’d go buy a beignet. The amount of stress-induced breakdowns and resulting physical ailments I had these past seven days is taking a toll. It was mostly job stress, but also a lot…

168/366
I set a photography goal for myself to shoot a photo with the Hipstamatic every day, for 366 images this (leap) year. Today is day 168. I had them all on my photo website that I recently took down but for now, I’ll just add…

Reset
Sure, the domain name is the same but the platform and the design are all new. The previous Ghost server was very proprietary and will not allow an easy way to export all of my writings there. Nor would it allow me to import decades…

Podcast
Episodes will be produced and distributed once a week on Apple and Spotify platforms. This is a different component to this website. It is an audio journal that highlights photography, book reviews, geocaching and other areas of interest. All audio posts are 5 minutes or…
