Yesterday, April 15th, was Tax Day here in the U.S., which means lots of lucky people will get refunds of over-paid taxes.
Whether you’re one of them or not, what would you spend an unexpected windfall on? Say … $50? How about $500?
(And, this is a reading meme, so by rights the answer should be book-related, [...]

This last week

It’s been an interesting week, photographically.
Last Friday, one of my pictures appeared in the weekly entertainment supplement to our local paper. Kitte and I had done this photo shoot last summer to generate some promotional pictures for her DJ act (can you really call anything Kitte does an act? She’s one of the most completely [...]
Can you identify Myers-Briggs type from someone’s writing?
Posted in Life as a Photographer on November 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The Typealyzer (http://www.typealyzer.com) doesn’t do quite as well as advertised – it marks me as ISTP based on this blog. I’ve been through Myers-Briggs evaluation, albeit almost 10 years ago now – and was confirmed as an INFP.
It’s an interesting idea, trying to determine MB type from chunks of writing. A fun meme, perhaps, but [...]

The Mourner

Eugene’s Strobist group went out on Saturday to do our October photo shoot, themed Halloween and held in the Eugene Masonic Cemetery. We had a BLAST, although it felt like only about half of the photographers scheduled showed up and as usual, some people had to cut out early to attend [...]
I’ll give ya $1000 not to bear children

It’s happening again. In Texas and Louisiana, state politicians are discussing the ugly old aunt of the “pro-choice” conundrum: paying women receiving welfare benefits to get sterilized.
Normally, this is yet another ploy by white folks to reduce the number of brown babies running about, and as such, makes me want to spit to rinse the [...]
On (Not) Being a MILF

I’ve been struggling all summer with what it means to be both a photographer and a feminist, where the two intersect, and how I can use one to educate and inform the other and vice versa.
Lately, I was directed to this blog (NSFW!!!) to do some reading along similar lines.
My personal opinion: the focus of [...]
“Click” and Counting

I went out this evening to do some promo photos for a fabulous lady I know…. and in the process, my camera clicked across the 10K mark.
I have now shot 10,000 photos with my camera. I’ve only had it a little less than a year and a half. May the next year(s) be captured on [...]

Up against a wall
Originally uploaded by foto_bob
In the last couple of months, there’s been several things about my hobby that have tweaked my nerves one way or another. First, there was the shoot in May where I walked away with all of 11 pictures – and most of those were set-up test shots – because [...]
New Camera, Thoughts, Future Plans

It’s been a while since I posted anything. It’s been a while since I read anyone else’s blogs. I’ve been hibernating a bit, martialling my energy to get through the last few weeks and in trying to relearn who I want to be. The past few years have changed me, there’s no question about that, [...]
