I skipped a bunch of weeks!

Photo Challenge, Week 14: Titles
This week’s challenge was to focus on “the story within the image.” I took this picture of the Governor’s Mansion from the Grace Street overlook in Church Hill. If I had to title it, I’d go with something like Center of Controversy. I liked the green space surrounding and isolating the Mansion—and the man who […]
Photo Challenge, Week 12: Nature macro
Photo Challenge, Week 12: Window reflections
Peanut butter. Here’s a picture of a man with a foot injury wearing pink pants, though.
Photo Challenge, Week 11: B&W portrait
This was fun, and my family was very patient with me. Thanks, family! I did get a few more that turned out great but were deemed “too weird” by the model to post online. Which, fair enough.
Photo Challenge, Week 10: Single subject
Who can deny the wonderful branding of Genesee??
Photo Challenge, Week 9: Found still life
What does this challenge even mean?? I don’t know enough to know what qualifies as a still life and what does not, so here are a couple photos of things being very still—because they are inanimate.
Photo Challenge, Week 8: Trees
Trees! So easy! So omnipresent! But guess what? In the deep of February, in the midst of a million straight days of rain, trees are…not that awesome looking. Just a buncha black, severe, dead-looking things hanging out in tree wells across the City. Anyway, here’s what I came up with for week eight (one is […]
Photo Challenge, Week 6: Refraction in Water Drops
Peanut butter. I’m just not super into these technique challenges, so, instead, here’s a picture of steam (which was the week before last’s challenge) that I got while making chicken soup.
Photo Challenge, Week 5: Music
I took a ton of photos this week but not a ton of music-related ones, for whatever reason. I did, somehow, convince my son to begrudgingly hold his saxophone for a quick photo shoot—but he would not fully put the horn together or allow me to put his face in any of the pictures. Fine. […]
Photo Challenge, Week 4: Smoke, Steam, Vapor
The intention behind this week’s challenge was to photograph long, swirling trails of smoke or steam. I…didn’t do that, and, instead, ended up with just a few photos that hew only very loosely to the theme. First, a close up of frost—which is kind of like vapor? right?—on a leaf in my yard. Next, a […]
Photo challenge, Week 3: Square crop, centered subject
This isn’t Sam and Ross Like Things, so I‘m allowed to hedge: I don’t think I did my best work this week. I took plenty of pictures, which is part of the reason I’m doing his challenge, but most of them feel…boring? I didn’t spend enough time thinking through and looking for shots that would […]
Photo challenge, Week 2: Guilty pleasures
I didn’t realize until late in the week that the Guily Pleasures theme could apply non-edible items—like Marvel’s Runaways, a show that is somehow simultaneously compelling and unremarkable. This means that we’re stuck with food and food-adjacent subject matter. This week: Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Sesame Seasoning Blend, Miller High Life, Tarrant’s (where […]
Photo challenge, Week 1: Time
In 2018, as part of my annual goals, I decided to get a Fracture of my favorite photo taken each month. This was, in part, to encourage myself to take more photographs, and, in part, to get a bunch of cool pictures hanging next to my bed. It was definitely one of my more fun […]
