Light Painting


Lightpainting experiment 1



My first attempt at writing letters with light



With the help of Stephen once again I've figured out how to put cutlines under the photos. If I ever win a grammy or some prestigious award I'll have to remind myself to give a shout out to him. Anyway, I've had these images done for about a week now, I just have not had time to post them. I'm going to attempt more light painting in the near future as soon as my house is completely picked up. I tried these after listening to Chris Marquardt's Tips From the Top Floor episode 66. Hopefully I will find more upcoming shows as inspiring as this one was. As I continue to listen to his podcasts, I gain more and more of an appreciation for Chris.

New Year's Resolution



Beer is probably cause for most of my problems so let's cut down on that this year.

This year I've compiled a list of two different kinds of goals. Physical goals and other goals. By this I mean that physical goals have some sort of monetary value or can be measured in some way. The other goals are personal goals that I will only know if I attain and should be laid on my conscience at all times. These are in no particular order and may be amended at anytime. I'm really excited about having some that I could actually check off. I will always update you when I complete one or will let you know the progress on the other ones from time to time. So without further ado.
Physical goals:

  1. Weigh 165 lbs by my birthday. ( 10 lbs. in 7 weeks).
  2. Do one photo essay I'm proud of.
  3. Have my credit card to $0 by December.

Other goals:

  1. Read at least one news article a year
  2. Drink less beer each week.
  3. Complain as little as possible.


All these goals should help me be a better person as well as improve my life physically and mentally. These are the things most important to me right now. If anyone thinks I should add something on here please feel free to comment.
