This morning I took a picture of my breakfast. It occurs to me that maybe I should get out of the house more. But can you blame me? Look how pretty it looks. And yes, in case you were wondering, it was delicious. Did I pick that bowl out specifically because I planned to photograph [...]

Here’s more wintry coldness, because I’m finding it hard to think about anything else right now. On a positive note, the 24-hour video race is tomorrow night and I’m totally stoked. Here’s my team’s winning entry from last year and a write-up I did for Tasha Does Tulsa about my experience. But more on that later; [...]
It’s always seemed like I get most inspired to take photographs in the winter, which most people would probably call the least photogenic of all the seasons.

They’re always seemed kind of cliche and commercialized, and when I’ve made them they always seem to fall by the wayside, forgotten. I am, however, rather fond of making lists. So this past January I made a list of things I wanted [...]
