Photo-a-day: Week 12

Google Readers, press “V”

stories from the break room

At this moment in history, most television-watching Americans have reached the point where they can stomach the awkward scenes NBC’s The Office throws at them on a weekly basis and come out on the other side having fully enjoyed the way they spent their last half hour.
I think part of what makes this show so [...]

Photo-a-day: Week 11

This past week offered neither time to update odfm (see the consecutive photo posts), nor a shortage of photo-ops (see this photo post).
The first half of the week found me climbing in Austin with two precious friends, and the rest of the week was spent preparing for, executing, and celebrating the marriage of Mikey Mills [...]

Week 10: Photo-a-day

I’ve reached the point of wondering why I committed to doing this photo-a-day deal. I’m running out of things in my normal routine that I find worthy to shoot. Then I’m reminded that this is the very reason I decided to do daily photos: to stretch myself creatively as a photographer. That isn’t to say [...]

Fame, I’m D.O., nice to meet you | or, “set your tivo’s”

If you were born in the late 70’s or early 80’s, then you’ve certainly had conversations about this man with your peers in the past few years. It is just a fact. When hanging out with people in our generation, give it enough time and the discussion will invariably turn to TV shows we watched [...]

post (grocery) run conversations

Monday morning I took a much needed trip to the grocery store to fill my empty pantry shelf and fridge quadrant. It was a record breaking trip: I spent more on that day than ever before on a single visit to the grocer. As such, Skylar’s passenger seat and trunk were both full of newly [...]

Week 9: Photo-a-day

With the exception of the sunset photo, this week’s gallery is without a doubt the weakest to date. Mostly shots taken of things in my room just before going to bed and realizing I’d not yet taken a photo that day. Lame, I know. And the one decent photo I had from the wedding I [...]

and all the single women wept: 3rd, 4th, & 5th editions

It’s official. The Men of Luther are dropping like autumn leaves on a windy day. Here’s the latest, and albeit a little tardy, I’ve still heard single women sniffling and asking friends if their mascara is running.
Valentine’s weekend, 2009 found both Coach Dwight “D-Diddly” Jones and John “Gee-Bay” Banks on the victorious end of marriage [...]

Pink’s and Obesity: BFFE

When traveling, there are several ways to handle the matter of how you’ll eat. You can adopt the tried-and-true college guy diet of a loaf of bread paired with jars of peanut butter and jelly; You can search the unfamiliar surroundings for familiar signage reading things like “Chili’s” or “Red Lobster;” Or, if you want [...]

Week 7-8: Photo-a-day

Included in the gallery above are photos from Austin, Dallas, Pasadena, Sierra Madre, and a place I like to simply call “country.” Some of these photos lack even a glimpse of anything artistic or even “good,” but each tells a story that without the photo I’d probably forget in a year’s time (see blurry photo [...]
