To follow up last week’s postcard, I am posting some diptychs I put together from my visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I absolutely love that place and although it is a bit pricey, [...]
The xx – Intro
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
I’ve been watching the winter Olympics quite a bit this year and was reminded of how much I like this track by The xx. You may have heard it in this commercial. I find it amusing that they advertise (what I consider to be) horrible music [...]
As I mentioned before, my photo has been selected to be in this year’s DCist Exposed photography show. The opening is Saturday, March 6th, from 6pm-10pm, and it looks like it will be a good time. I designed an e-flier of sorts from my photo (above) and pasted the press release below. I will be [...]

A couple weeks back I went to San Francisco to visit friends for a week and to celebrate my birthday. During my trip I drove down to Santa Cruz and Monterey with a friend. I had a fantastic time and hope to go back again soon [...]

Lately I have been in a bit of a music funk, so I was pretty excited to hear the new Massive Attack album that came out this week. I had a hard time picking one song (since I like all of them), but [...]

Catching up a bit since I am behind a couple posts . . .
I might have to visit this laundromat more often just so I can look at this fantastic “exotic plastic” laundry bag dispenser. Here are a few things I love about it:
“Exotic Plastic [...]
Ratatat – Nostrand

One of my aunts visited recently and since she has already seen all the DC sights, we took a wee day trip up to Frederick, MD to check out their covered bridges. It’s a nice thing to do if you like to get lost and wander through [...]

My friend “hoi” and I both like to take photos and have talked about collaborating on some photography projects. Our first one was to take photos, exchange a few raw files and process each other’s photos to see how we do things differently. A [...]
