2026-10-03Hello!I'm chasing something so specific I don't even know what it is yet. Catching the train to a new destination to get inspiration for photography at home. I only made it by a few minutes!Relying on the city to provide me interesting photographs is a crutch that I'm beginning to rely on too much. The...

2026-10-02Hello!I need to just take a list of "top ten interesting compositions" and get them done. Next photowalk, maybe. Because I haven't done the "frame within a frame" until now.For all my talk on leading lines in February, I haven't explored interesting compositions in photography for a while. The "frame...

2026-10-01Hello! It's October now.I wonder if I should have skipped this photograph today. It's foolish to be standing in the middle of a busy road (even though I was safe in the median) and I don't want any photograph of mine to become imitable behavior.Even still, the coloring isn't great and I don't think my...

2026-09-30Hello!If I had not insisted on experimenting with this photo, I might have thrown it out. And now, it's one of my favorite images.Hanging in my room is a bit of watercolor artwork that I purchased on the used market. It combines streaks and splotches of color on a white canvas, and it has levels of detail...

2026-09-29Hello!I designed my Philadelphia street photography walk to hit two points, with wandering in between the endpoints in case the wind takes me somewhere. This was one of those points. Well, this and City Hall.I like giving myself a set point to go somewhere, otherwise I'll be wandering the city for hours...

2026-09-28Hello!I hate to say it, but I think I've exhausted the interesting compositions from my local area. If I'm going to drive out anyway, I might as well head to the city and do some work there.The changing of seasons might serve to give me some inspiration, but an unfortunate amount of plans I've made as of...

2026-09-27Hello!This is director Lee Chang-dong, who presented his drama film Possible Love first to Venice and now to New York City. Before the screening, I photographed him during an afternoon photoshoot.I haven't been back at the red carpet since April, but when registration opened to take portrait photography...

2026-09-26Hello! Let me get the odd naming out of the way first.Each time I capture a photograph, my camera's default file name for new images is DSC, an underscore, and some unique four digit number. I've omitted the underscore here for technical reasons. It counts up from 0001, goes to 9999, and starts counting...

2026-09-25Hello!Ahead of the Vox Populi exhibition titled "An Endless Meeting: Collective Process, Artistic Labor, and the Politics of Working Together", I took the portrait of one of the artists through almost pure coincidence.I figured I might as well upload this portrait to Wikimedia Commons now that I have the...

2026-09-24Hello! Font time.I've talked about fonts as anecdotal stories before, and at the recommendation of an email I received back in May, I'm going to start posting sketches of my font work. I'll have to tiptoe on the right side of the line between simple inspiration and copyright infringement, but here's hoping...

2026-09-23Hello!While doing menial office work, I found myself bouncing between twenty different projects and tasks. They're not challenging tasks, but the sheer number of incomplete things overflowed my capacity of clarity.I hate to talk about productivity or self-help, but given that this is a mere anecdote to my...

2026-09-22Hello!I read an article on PetaPixel that inspired me to print my photos to hang up on my wall. I chose this photograph that I haven't published online before. It's a photo similar to Day 130 when I visited Acadia National Park.I used the adhesive strips to hang these up, because for whatever reason, I...
