Mother’s Day Present for Me
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! So, I don’t get into this publicly often. I lost my mother to cancer when I was just shy of ten years old, and she was 32. Like a lot of children, my mother was my world, and losing her at that young age has made […]
Dealing with Isolation, Inertia and Creativity
I know things are challenging right now. I, and probably you as well, have been combating isolation and inertia. Trying to maintain levels of creativity while working my day job at home. Doing more with less, a smaller team and more work. Yes, I know that I shouldn’t complain, I am better off than a […]
An Unexpected Award: View Bug Elite Architecture
Sometimes the unexpected award via email can be wonderful! Like many of you, I’ve been cooped up in various levels of quarantine, self-quarantine, social distancing or just #stayingthefuckhome. Even though I am generally introverted by nature, this isolation has been really weighing on and getting to me the past 24 hours or so. My motivation […]
Jim Thorpe: Social Distancing
So, with the current social distancing recommendations from both the PA Department of Health, the CDC, and just about every other damn medical professional on earth. I have been cooped up at my place for over a week and cabin fever set in. Yesterday was simply gorgeous out, amazing blue skies with a few fluffy […]
Bethlehem SteelStacks – Rust in the Wind
Continuing the “Quarantine of 2020” photo tour. Today is closer to home in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania at SteelStacks. As I posted on my Facebook photography and Instagram pages yesterday, we may be stuck in ‘socially distancing‘ mode but that doesn’t mean we can’t look out virtual windows and see some beauty! See the original Facebook Post […]
Extreme Social Distancing
So, it’s time to bring Social Distancing to the extreme. Here we are with apparently the world coming to a messy end, COVID-19 spreading throughout the universe and people stockpiling toilet paper. What’s a healthy person to do when everything is closed, St. Patrick’s Day events in the region are cancelled, and everyone is either […]
Photography, Introversion and walking into the spotlight
Introverts of the world, unite! (separately, in our own spaces and without much fanfare). Last Friday night I held the first public showing of my photography at Fox Optical & Gallery in Bethlehem, PA. I have to admit it was one of the more intimidating and nerve-wracking things I’ve done in a long time. Putting […]
Gallery Showing – First Time for Everything
Well, its official, my first Gallery Showing is in March / April 2020 at the Fox Optical & Gallery in Bethlehem, PA. I’ve been involved in photography for years and never really thought about doing this, but someone recently talked me into it. I am extremely amazed, even if a bit nervous. I just turned […]
Virtual House Cleaning
Rejiggering the site (a.k.a. virtual house cleaning 101). Now that I’ve gone and changed a ton of crap on the website, go the start of an online shop going for my photos, and did it all without pulling out my hair, it is about time that I go through the hard parts of this process… […]
New Year, New Look
So, first of all, Happy New Year! I took a fairly long break from blogging in 2019 … it was a hellacious year for me personally and professionally. Lets just leave it at that. I was quite bored with the old theme, the layout, the hassle of keeping it functional, and it completely turned me […]
