“You can try the best you can, The best you can is good enough.” – Radiohead, Optimistic It came down to me and one other kid. There we are, standing along the sidelines in our gym uniforms, awaiting our fate. One of us was going to get selected, and the other was going to be [...]

Episode 2 – Keith Lane
Last week, I showcased my latest project with the inaugural podcast episode, featuring James Campbell. This week, I have an awesome conversation with DC freelance photographer on The Hill and humanitarian photographer Keith Lane. We had a wonderful chat over how he got into photography, how he turned travel into exhibits, and how he refuses [...]
What Am I Doing? [1.17]
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 [...]
Episode 1 – James Campbell
The waiting is over! The unveiling is here! Lookie what I made (with the help of James Campbell)!
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 [...]
I Still Don’t Believe In New Year’s Resolutions, But If I Did…
Yesterday, I teased you all about what my resolutions would be for 2012 after showcasing how I failed so horribly at last year’s list like a Washington, DC sports franchise. While I didn’t do so bad with the professional goals, my personal goals were left in the dust. As a result, the list I made [...]
New Year’s Resolutions? I Did One Of Those???
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 [...]
What Am I Doing? [11.21]
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.
A Historic Instant (For Me) at InstantDC
It was pretty surreal. There I was, standing in front of the black pegboard amongst the eighteen prints and amongst them, my photo. Across the room was another one of my photos, which I mockingly named “Retro Ball of Warm, Healing Light” just to chuckle when I listened to people discussing it. I wondered if [...]
What Am I Doing? [9.30]
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 [...]
Main Offender
So, here’s the thing: I never get offended. Ever. I’m laid back about a lot of subjects and don’t take myself seriously at all. I’ll joke about my ethnicity, poke fun at other stereotypes, and lightheartedly tease people about anything and everything.
Everything is GREAT!
Of the two following statements, which one sounds more encouraging and gives you bigger warm fuzzies? You’re doing a good job! Or… You’re doing a great job! It’s amazing what a difference one word can make, right?
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? [8.9]
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.
Lithium
“Man, you’re a completely positive person! Do you know that? It’s, like, overly positive.” I had no idea what she was talking about. All my life, I have considered myself more along the lines of a “realist” – the down-to-earth moderate viewpoint as opposed to the polar ends of the spectrum, being “optimistic” and “pessimistic”. [...]
Good Artists Copy; Great Artists Steal
I don’t think I do anything special. Snap a photo here, over-process it into oblivion there, and call it “art”. How original is that? Well, by describing my work in such a vague and generalized tone, sure. I’m weak sauce. However, looking at a broader spectrum of iPhoneography out there – nay, photography, in general [...]
