What Am I Doing? [1.17]

20120117-084105.jpg

The week has finally arrived. It’s been months in the making and I’ve been laboring on this for what feels like an eternity. I’m currently appeasing the tradition I’ve established for flying since turning 21, which is obviously my alcoholic beverage consumption that allows me to better deal with the crying babies and selfish assholes [...]

Finally, I’ve got something big to announce. However, because I am who I am, I’m not going to tell you what it is. Yet. Sorry.


What Am I Doing? [1.3]

Is it just me, or does 2012 feel a lot like 2011? Maybe it’s too soon to tell, or maybe it’s my cynical nature, but it’s hard to notice a significant difference. There’s so much promise and hope that things will be better when a new year comes, but nothing is guaranteed and so much [...]


New Year’s Resolutions? I Did One Of Those???

20111229-102533.jpg

It should come as no surprise, but I completely forgot all about New Year’s Resolutions. I mean, I did sort of warn you all in Internetland that I thought New Year’s Resolutions are stupid – hell, it was the first line of the post I did a year ago. However, to entertain all of you [...]


Blah.

In a word: ugh. My dedication to writing gets completely lost amongst the continuous busyness that is my life at the moment, and with holiday shopping abound, the idea to even sit in front of a computer and type something out makes me feel nauseous. How do all these busy bodies do it?! I’m chugging [...]

Just when I think, for once, I’m going to have a slow, peaceful week to play catch up, BOOM! A truly fantastic and inspirational opportunity comes my way, and I’m left blissfully wondering how I got to be so lucky.


What Am I Doing? [11.14]

Thought from the road: I should take more road trips. This occurred. To me as I was heading north this past weekend to Pennsylvania to shoot the wedding of Kimberlee and Erik with Alicia Griffin. The idea of an outdoorsy wedding in the fall had me really excited, and it was hard to grasp the [...]


What Am I Doing? [10.20]

In the words of Anthony Bourdain, life definitely does not suck. As you might have been able to tell based on the lack of updates, I have been INSANELY busy. And it’s been great. Nay, GREAT! Over the past weekend, I finally got to do what I’ve been longing to do for a while now: [...]


What Am I Doing? [9.30]

20110929-154808.jpg

It’s funny how quickly we can develop routines. Wake up, shower, brush teeth, get dressed, grab a morning coffee at the local coffee house, head to work. But therein lies an interesting point: why is grabbing a coffee somewhere a part of our routine these days? When did THAT happen? Why do we do the [...]


What Am I Doing? [9.20]

I don’t think I’m as busy as I tell people I am. When someone asks me what I’m up to, I tell them that I’m busy and they think I’m a hustling professional, but that’s quite far from the truth. I’m INSANELY BUSY. I don’t give myself enough credit for all of the nonsense I [...]


What Am I Doing? [8.29]

I totally rocked this weekend like a hurricane. (Too soon?) Considering Irene didn’t do much damage in the places I was over the weekend, I was very thankful that there was minimal damage. However, one of my friends ended up having his house flooded with a foot of water in one of the houses he [...]


What Am I Doing? [8.22]

There are some things in life more important than making money and making money and making money. As much as I love working and can be a bit of a workaholic, I also know full well how to enjoy my free time and spend it with the people I care about all proper dopper like. [...]


What Am I Doing? [8.15]

I’m willing to bear my soul to you people. Yes, this is random. It’s very rare that I would ever share something about my personal life to the vast unknown majority of the interwebs, but I have something I’m really eager to share with you all. So, if you’re prepared to read, I’m prepared to [...]


What Am I Doing? [8.9]

I’m not quite sure how to put this, but I’m going to try my best to explain this anyway, so bear with me.


What Am I Doing? [8.2]

Lesson learned: going out every day and keeping busy one week has a snowballing effect, where you end up going out and keeping busier than the week before. My wallet and aching body are not really thrilled with the onslaught of events, hangouts, and photo sessions I’ve had this past week, but it’s all been [...]


What Am I Doing? [7.25]

Holy backlog, Batman! Remember how I said it was going to be a busy week? I guess I was understating things quite a bit. Quite. A. Bit. I sort of felt bad for not blogging over the past few weeks, but then I remembered that I had a ton of photos that needed to be [...]


What Am I Doing? [7.11]

*tap tap tap* Is this thing on? I just want to make sure this site is still functional and operating, since I sort of went on a bit of a hiatus. I hope you don’t mind, but even if you did, it’s too late to go back now – I already plum done it, sucker!


What Am I Doing? [6.27]

Is it possible to be too happy to write a blog post? Because that definitely was the reason why I only had three blog posts halfway written and never completed. I blame it on being happy. God damn happiness.


What Am I Doing? [6.13]

I’m still in Wisconsin, and while I miss certain aspects of my Washington, DC life, being with my good friend and his family – plus shooting a wedding again – has been a very nice distraction from my every day life. While I still believe I’m a city slicker through and through, it’s been refreshing [...]


What Am I Doing? [6.7]

It’s not the most original idea by any means, and I’m sure many people may have done a better job by the time all is said and done, but besides my abstract iphoneography works, I think I have stumbled upon a new project I want to undertake. It doesn’t mean I have given up on [...]


What Am I Doing? [5.31] Post-Memorial Day Special

I consider a successful Memorial Day weekend one where, despite my culinary degree, I am not asked to cook. We can determine that Memorial Day Extravaganza 2011 was very successful It’s not to say that I won’t utilize my culinary abilities when asked, but after dealing with years of going to restaurants and being asked [...]


What Am I Doing? [5.24]

In a word, I am exhausted. While the week I just experienced was amazing, and I met truly wonderful people whom I hope I will run into again in the future, and I saw more amazing feats of courage than words could explain, I am exhausted. Never working less than twelve hours a day, sleeping [...]


What Am I Doing? [5.16]

It’s deja vu all over again. I’m practically in the same seat as I was this time two weeks ago, trying to get ahead on blog posts in preparation for a busy week, and people watching like it’s my job. The sightseeing this go around isn’t as entertaining, since people are weak sauce and focused [...]


What Am I Doing? [5.10]

I’m not sure what happened, but I’m pretty sure last week was a dream – there is no possible way that amount of awesomeness was real.
