2026-04-06Hello! This is from the backyard of my home, where I'm planting wildflowers and watching tulips bloom from the bulbs I placed last summer. It's a beautiful time of year.No backyard is complete without a bird feeder, so I looked online for reviews and found this one that seems easy enough to clean. With a...

2026-04-05Hello! I wonder if I should make this the wallpaper to my laptop; I've been using the sunset wallpaper for almost a year now. If I ever share my desktop screen to classmates and friends, I'm sure to get a reaction. All the better.I had more than five really cool photos lined up this week, but they all got...

2026-04-04Hello!Look, I promise I'm basically out of photos from early March. I've been posting a lot of photos from that time, specifically in the four counties of Adams, Lancaster, Montgomery, and York.These images are just interesting to me! I almost always go outside with a camera, and I take photos of whatever...

2026-04-03Hello!This is a follow-up to yesterday's post, where I took a photo of the entire market at large. This time, I'm zooming into one booth, isolating an interaction between a single customer and a baker.When I took the wide shot of Lancaster Central Market, I thought about the market as a whole. How it could...

2026-04-02Hello!After watching James Popsys's video on the three shot rule, I thought I might give it a shot.I tried to capture the same scene, but from three different perspectives: wide, middle, and close-up. This is that wide shot; the middle will be tomorrow, and I'm thinking the close-up should be thrown in the...

2026-04-01Hello! As I predicted, I couldn't change anything for April Fools.Although, a friend of mine has made a brilliant extension for Google Chrome (and Firefox) to detect rickroll links — any URL directing you to Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley will be flagged. Hope it helps; be suspicious of things too...

2026-03-31Hello! Tomorrow marks April Fools, but I'm busy; I don't have the time to set up something fun. Sorry in advance.Today, after weeks of seeing bloody adverbs in my drafts, I'm going to try and eliminate all adverbs from my writing in this article. It can't be that hard, right? Creative challenges like this...

2026-03-30Hello! I've been staring at my empty screen, thinking of what to write about. So, fair warning: today will be a lot more incoherent than usual. And I'm a pretty incoherent guy.There's a bunch of photography ideas running around in my head. Before this website was even an idea, when I texted friends with...

2026-03-29Hello! A friend gave me a camera rag and cleaning kit. Autastic.I've taken a photo of an Apple headset before. In Toronto, Canada, I took a photo of it a few months after it was officially released, and before it became available to purchase in all countries.I then uploaded the photo to Wikimedia Commons...

2026-03-28Hello!No, I don't know what's at the end of the tunnel. Probably more light.How different public spaces (especially shops) are designed tells you a lot about their intention. Compare this clean mall to the bright and colorful displays in the toy shop. I can almost imagine that the toy shop display was...

2026-03-27Hello!I went to a railroad museum and saw the displays of many old trains. I got to see the impact of the steam train on the US economy and its history, which was more exciting than the inner workings of the trains themselves. I'm a history nerd.So, with spring underway, with woodpeckers drumming through...

2026-03-26Hello!Woah. I just realized that if you look back at yesterday's article, and really stare at the image, you start seeing dots. Put the image on fullscreen (or zoom in) and let me know if you also see grid illusions.Anyway, I'd like to write up a short story today. I call it a story, not a dream journal....
