6:52 – When I grew up there was only 5-pin bowling in town. Later on a 10-pin alley was built, but it was too late, I sucked so badly at 5-pin that I had no interest in bowling at all. When we moved to North Vancouver there was a 10-pin alley at Park Royal. Kirk dragged me over and I…

10/365 (January 10, 2011) – I turned on my computer this morning and the first email I read told me that a friend had passed out of this world.

291/365 (October 18, 2010) – Where exactly did this year go to? I thought a 365 was going to be difficult, and it hasn’t always been easy, but it wasn’t nearly as onerous a task as I thought it might be. The one negative thing I’ve found is that I have wanted to focus on some film photography and I…

Found a great new program today, but only really useful if you are a Flickr user. It’s called flickery (nope, didn’t forget to capitalize that). flickery lets you upload photos into your Flickr photostream, but it does so much more! From within flickery on my desktop, I can: – view my contacts photos – view photos taken near me geographically…

I’m not sure why, but I only like to eat eggs on the weekends, poached, on an english muffin. Love eggs benny! But any other day is generally NOT an egg day. And free range eggs, none of those pale things that have no flavour. I like real eggs, with a nice deep orange yolk…that has flavour. Those pasty things…

08/01/10 – This is a really crappy picture. Why is it so crappy? Because I wanted it to be crappy and therefore I made it crappy in Photoshop, not that it was exactly a stellar setup to begin with. Doesn’t it make you recall days as a kid (in the 60′s and 70′s) when cameras were crappy and photos were…

One week down, 51 more to go. I suppose it’s easy to say that this won’t be that hard, a photograph a day, but I’m sure it will become a chore eventually. But I hope not. It’s funny that with a digital camera it’s easy to shoot off 300 photos a day if you go out for an event…but sometimes…

In my last post I was grumbling about the nature of the internet leading to vitriol and general nastiness. True, I still feel that way, but at the other end of the spectrum I have to admit that I’ve actually met some very nice people in a way that I never thought would happen. Over the past 15 years on…

I found Flickr, and I love it! One of my best friends is on it, I noticed it in her Facebook, what a wonderful thing! Photos have a bad habit of languishing about in albums, or with the widespread use of digital imagery, on hard drives. What a shame! Time spent taking a picture to capture a moment, and then…
