power to the podcasters

I held this microphone up to a window and snapped the shot. It looks more like a graphic from Illustrator, but it's a photo.

Is this obvious enough that it's a microphone?

marriage license

One of the most official parts of a wedding often gets overlooked (and not photographed): the signing of the marriage license. This is what makes a marriage legal and official.

learning the routines

So, Taylor is finally getting into a groove. She knows where to go for food, potty, and petting. She knows she needs to sit to get access to all of those. We're coming along well. Here are the Taylor tricks, so far: sit, stay, shake, down, fetch, and vacuum. We're working on that last one.

negative space

I'm teaching a math class at the University of La Verne. It's for primary/preschool teachers. This lesson was about geometry... I suggested to my students:

cutting out a shape (negative space), and taking students' head shots. That way, students would see themselves, and they'd be inside the shape you are studying.

Duaflex project

I've been thinking about a new photography project.

My photo-a-day year 3 ends in December. My wife thinks I should switch up the photo projects so that I keep growing as a photographer. I've thought about:
• taking just one photo each day
• starting the 100 strangers project, where you take 100 strangers' portraits
• through the viewfinder, where you make a contraption to convert your dSLR to an old camera (like this)

Any suggestions?

You know you're in a cool band when the best part of the gig is hanging out after sound check.
