The Camera Search: Time for an SLR
I need a new camera. It’s become increasingly apparent to me that my current camera, which I’ve been using for more than three years, has run its artistic course. The rift in image quality between my point-and-shoot, not-bad-but-not-great Fujifilm and an SLR is just too big, and I need an upgrade. Now if only I [...]

Red Sky at Night…
Despite all of my camera whining, I was pleased with how these shots of a colorful night-sky turned out last night. Three second exposure, with a soccer cleat for a tripod. Not too bad for last minute improvisation.

The Post Graduate Five
It’s hard not to feel a little impressionable after a day like today. Sometime between the end of summer and the beginning of fall, I let slip any motivation I had built-up to run on a regular basis. My ten miles a week turned into two nights of Ultimate, which is itself great exercise, but [...]

Time Spent Driving
Slowly, I’m becoming well-acquainted with long drives.
For several months now I’ve made the trek up I-71, the northeasterly vein that pumps traffic from my hometown of Wilmington to my home-away-from-hometown in Columbus, some 60 cornfield miles away. Almost three times a week I set out, most often in the late afternoon but sometimes before the sun is up, and push my car along. My sluggish but reliable Prizm shrieks and moans during the first few minutes of every trip, but then, like clockwork, it settles into the well-worn hum of 80,000+ miles and counting. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy these trips.

The WU
Although this is probably too late in the day to matter, we’re playing Ultimate tonight at 8:00 p.m. at J.D. Williams Memorial Park– or Denver park, if you’re a townie. We play every Tuesday at 8 and every Thursday at 6. Thursday, though, we play at Wilmington College, on the mall. Come out!
