Sometimes you just feel…
This year has felt brutal in places and the last few days/weeks have been pretty intense (that’s not to say there haven’t been some highlights too but it’s been hard to get them to outshine the negative at times). Tomorrow is a new week though and in a month it will be a new year. …
Direction
A few weeks ago, I wrote about my increasing lack of written or personal blog content. I explained briefly my reticence due to concerns about personal privacy (which seem to have gone to an unnecessary extreme), thought that it was time to get over it and share more and then asked somewhat rhetorically about people’s …
For Tom
It doesn’t matter whether you won or lost…. just that you tried your best. So just keep trying. Update: Like this photo? Now it’s available as a matted archival print here in my Etsy shop.
Photos from the road
It’s been a long time since I’ve shared photos or non-daily portrait work with any regularity; but thank you, dear readers, for your patience. I think it’s time to end the wait…wouldn’t you agree?
Glacial Melt
Haven’t been feeling it lately as no doubt evidenced in the daily portraits and lack of chatty posts. Hang in there, dear readers, my brain will defrost sometime soon. In the meantime, please feel welcome to share any content requests you may have. And welcome to all the new readers from around the world–thanks for …
Not to worry…
Var inte rädd … Jag har inte glömt er alla… In the midst of a move, the last three weeks have gotten away from me. But fear not, dear readers, I shall return to more active and regular updates very shortly…
Don’t Stop
Despite unrelenting rain for the last few days, I’ve been in a pretty great mood lately, yesterday especially. But today, a warm, glorious sunny day, I’m feeling blah–seems I’ve strained my upbeat muscle(s). So, I’m trying to perk up with music in the form of a fairly ridiculous and silly playlist this afternoon. Among the …
The end of publishing?
The end of print publishing? Or?? Watch and see:
Things that got me through Snowpocalypse 2 and 3
Atlas Snowshoes–with ~4′ of snow on the ground, these are almost a necessity Keen boots–without a good pair of boots, snowshoes aren’t much use Under Armour base layers–keep warm and dry no matter how wet you get in the snow Design House Stockholm pleece–warm and snuggly North Face WindWall–keeps the wind out and adds a …
Rusting on the vine
It has always fascinated me how seemingly trivial things can trigger one’s memory on a dime and transport you to another time or place in an instant– hidden snapshots of one’s life peppered throughout our daily comings and goings. This morning, paying bills at my desk and watching the rain pour down, iTunes surprised me …
One of those days
It’s just one of those days; we all have them– you wake up and the world feels grey and unwelcoming. You scuff around and feel sorry for yourself and maybe mope a little. Well today, I’m having one of those days. BUT instead of moping about like a fool when I feel like this, I …
New year’s resolutions
I’m not one to make new year’s resolutions, generally, but this year it just seemed right. This year, I aim to: Draw More I’d really like to try and make more of a habit of sketching during my travels and off time. Be Happy I’ve learned a lot during the last few years, I’ve done …
Branding defined
While catching up on news and blogs this evening after spending much of the last two weeks on the road, I came across a post by Seth Godin about branding that caught my eye. Over the last few months, my brand hat has been collecting dust on my career hat rack while I shift focus …
Shy
Sometimes, I’m too shy for my own good…
Halloween
For as long as I can remember, Halloween has been my favorite holiday. Each year, I’d look forward to an annual excuse to get dressed up and be silly, and go around the neighborhood trick or treating, smelling the autumnal smells and laughing all along the way. Today, I still love the holiday, even if …
Fall in Gothenburg
The last few days of rain and autumnal gloom have lulled my memories back to Göteborg. I haven’t paid it much mind over the last few years– I finished my MFA and didn’t really look back afterward. But here I am, back in Baltimore after a move back from Sweden, and two three 1500mi+ moves. …
Ain’t that a kick in the head
I can not describe how things have been lately… formulating a cogent description eludes me. So I’ll summarize: I feel like I’ve been kicked in the teeth… And it’s my own doing… Images: Me
Sight
Some times, it’s hard to focus on what’s right in front of you…. Image: Me
Just wondering…
So, can I just pop over to Edinburgh today? Y’know take the afternoon off, go to a museum, stroll along and take some snapshots while window-shopping… and then meet my loved ones for coffee… more strolling and then a late dinner with a view? Internet, does that work for you? Can I? Can I, huh, …
Cheer up mix
This morning came in swinging and I, unfortunately, am not much of a boxer. Feeling pretty awful, I paused a moment to take stock of the present and perked up a bit upon the personal remembrance that life is ultimately pretty darn good. Then I built a playlist of Cheer Up music to set a …
