I went on a brief walk yesterday on a grassy path. A few trees shaded the way, and I captured one of the particularly interesting ones as the sun poked through.Some photographers swear that color in an image only distracts from the focus, and while I heartily disagree with the notion, I wanted to give…
I’m behind on the publication, but here are photos I took when I visited GenCon in Indianapolis back in August. I went with two friends I’ve known since high school, which made the trip all the cooler. I got to see such a wide range of people, games, cultures, and experiences, all brought together around…
I went to an Oktoberfest celebration near Indianapolis this weekend! A friend invited me to a brewery that closes down once a year to have a big shindig in their building with all the fun Bavarian festivities. There was a best-dressed contest, a stein mug holding contest (pictured), and plenty of pretzels and beer to…
I have a bit of a humblebrag: I’ve been making delicious iced mochas at home lately. Though I’ve been making espresso drinks for almost a year now, only in the last month or so have they been consistently bomb. Wanna know the secret? I doubled the sugar in it. Such a simple solution that totally…
It’s happeningggg! Fall has arrived; the trees are beginning to shed their leaves as they change color from a refreshing green to a striking yellow and orange and red. The temperatures fluctuate from a moderate chill to a blazing heat, as is typical when the seasons change. This shift in the weather is a great…

It’s ultimately for an event next week, but now is as good a time as any to get some practice in using the gear. They’re some wireless flash strobes, and I had the pleasure of pairing them with my camera and…
I went to a block party on Saturday! It was a pretty simple set up organized by a local radio station. Local artists played on stage and local vendors manned booths on the street. It almost felt like a family gathering or a company party, but there was a bit of a disconnect since I…
I went to the State Fair this weekend! I’ve never actually been and I missed the County Fair in my town, so I knew I couldn’t miss this. We took it all in and saw all kinds of cool things – the classic elephant ear booths, wild rides, pizza on a stick (!!!), and a…
I went to GenCon last weekend with some friends! This is the second time I’ve attended, and it’s such a cool place to explore so many different people and beliefs and cultures, all united by the love of gaming. I saw many cosplays of awesome characters, And very clever costumes not based on anything at…
What a storm last night! I didn’t expect to see such a magnificent display of nature before I went to bed, even though I saw the thunderstorm warnings that popped up in the weather apps. It was a stroke of serendipity that I laid down for a nap right after work, which allowed me to…
