“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 the last one picked. It always seemed to come down to us for whatever reason. I was a WAY BETTER basketball player than Tim, but he always got picked as one of the first players on the team. Why didn’t they remember the sweet floating lay-up I made last week that seemed to drift just out of reach of Anthony’s block attempt, or the awesome three-point shot from the corner that I managed to swish with Andrew’s hand in my face? And yet there I was, one of the last ones to get picked. How soon we forget, I suppose. (more…)

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 to stop moving about the country. (more…)

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 who like to take up all the armrest space. I’m excited about this particular flight because unlike any other, Frontier has Fat Tire. Holy crap. If only this flight had wi-fi, it would be a party up on this flight (until I get kicked off for obscenity)! (more…)

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.

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 can happen between now and December 31st. Not to be a Debbie Downer or anything.
I Still Don’t Believe In New Year’s Resolutions, But If I Did… December 30, 2011

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 you all wait an extra day to see is a combination of professional and personal goals. Being honest, the delay is because I only had about two or three things on my 2012 To Do List and wanted to buy some time to figure out some more, since they were all business-oriented goals and not personal by any stretch of the imagination. But now that it’s the next day, I have no excuse and must present to you my 2012 New Year’s Resolutions. I want to do multiple ones because I think stopping at one life improvement is weak sauce, and I’m competitive in nature. SO, without further ado, here are the things I would like to accomplish in the coming year: (more…)
New Year’s Resolutions? I Did One Of Those??? December 29, 2011

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 who were so eager to know what I’m doing at all hours of the day because you stalk me as if I were Lady Gaga (which, in reality, would be zero of you), I made a list anyway. I wrote down a few “wouldn’t it be nice if I completed this” things, acknowledged it as a completed post, and then forgot about it like that ugly sweater your aunt gets you for Christmas/Hanukkah/Festivus which you discard into the black hole of your closet, never to be seen again.
Blah. December 16, 2011

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 along, editing photos while gaining new photography assignments, and am in complete awe of people who can blog regularly while taking on so many projects simultaneously. Those rat bastards and their ability to multitask. (more…)
