My plane for New York City leaves in about 9 hours. As always, I’ll be traveling with my clarinets and my camera. I’m really excited to get some good pictures in New York. I’ll of course be looking for great HDR opportunities, but I’m also going to try my hand at some [...]

Jon Stewart for President.
16Apr08“I know ‘elite’ is a bad word in politics. You wanna go bowling and throw back a few beers. But the job you’re applying for - if you get it, and it goes well - they might carve your head into a mountain. If you don’t actually think you’re better than us, [...]
I do my best to stay away from politics and other topics that usually lead to pointless e-peen measuring contests on the internet (okay, I failed today), but since I believe the following content is both important and hilarious, I have decided to share it. Below is an excellent video demonstrating just how ignorant [...]
Good clean fun
12Apr08And by that I mean black and white. It’s been a day of cleansing photography if you haven’t noticed. This shot was taken outside the Cleveland Musuem of Art at the Wade Oval. I made these HDR images there as well.

The Office is back!
11Apr08I tried to think of a wittier headline, honestly I did…something subtle yet completely effective.

In recognition of the return of the acclaimed series to the airwaves, I present this treatise.
The author poses [...]
Okay, honestly, you’re not getting those 14 minutes back if you watch this video. But I promise it’s worth it. And if you’ve stopped here, at my humble abode on the interwebs, you’ve got to trust me at least a little bit. So, without further delay, please allow me to present Demetri [...]
Frak yeah! Battlestar is BACK.
06Apr08Battlestar Galactica has returned to the airwaves (and the intertubes…shh) now that the Writers’ Guild strike is settled, and not a moment too soon. Every aspect of this show - from the writing and acting to the music and special effects - pulls me in and refuses to let go. Yes, being a [...]
