Day 22 – WilliamClayton.com
William Clayton is a friend of mine that I met here at Hillsdale last semester during lunch the first week. He is an excellent photographer and I really enjoy his work. He has been a great council whenever I have questions and he is always willing to help. He does a photography 365 […]

Day 21 – Bowling
Click to view the photo larger. Tonight some of the guys in Niedfeldt (my dorm) decided to go bowling and invited me along. I had a lot of fun and ended up bowling a 159 (better than normal for me). I also got to take some great action shots of guys throwing the ball, […]

Day 20 – Inauguration Day
As nearly everyone knows, President Obama was sworn in today at noon eastern time by Chief Justice Roberts on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol. I was in English class with Dr. Jackson during the whole process, so I missed it, but I watched the speeches online later in the day. I admit that […]

Day 19 – Hillsdale Swimming
I was going through my Aperture library today and found this photo of someone on the Hillsdale Swimming and Diving team. Click to view the photo full size. On a side note, I am looking for an ultra-wide angle lens or a fisheye. I think I have partially narrowed it down to these four. […]

Day 16 – Memory from High School
This video is from the beginning of my senior year in high school. My friends Tyler, Dylan, and I decided it would be fun to eat Kool-Aid powder and record it. All three of us had a free two hour block where we hung out in Mrs. Opel’s room and were for the most […]

Day 15 – Charger Basketball
Tonight I took photos for both the men and women Charger Basketball teams. I caught a nice shot of this foul. The lighting in the sports complex is not optimal, so I had to shoot on 1600 ISO and f/2.8 to get enough light, so I apologize for the graininess. I need to invest […]

Day 14 – Disk Warrior
Disk Warrior, produced by Alsoft, has saved me and hard drives that I have worked on multiple times. Corrupt catalogue on your drive? Lost file directory data? Corrupt sectors on your startup disk? Disk does not mount? Disk Warrior will fix it. I keep my CD in my bag just incase something happens. You never […]

Day 13 – Reflections
I took this photo two summers ago. The figure in the glasses is my great friend Sean Nelson. The warm summer sun shining on this picnic table is a big change from the cold, windy, snowy weather Hillsdale has been having the last few days. It is 3 degrees as I write this. […]

Day 12 – Snowy Day at Hillsdale
I hiked through the 12 inches of snow around campus today to take photos. View the full gallery. Last night after I unpacked and caught up with some of my friends, I decided to ride with Matt Stone to Detroit to pick up our friend Adam Peterson at the airport. The roads were pretty […]

Day 10 – Snowstorm
The large snowstorm that hit the midwest and northeast dumped 10 inches on Amherst, Ohio from 1 p.m. on Friday through 1 p.m. on Saturday (when that photo was taken) and the snow continues to fall. I measured at multiple points in the backyard and found an average of 10 inches everywhere. I […]

The Foundation for Economic Education released the 50th Anniversary Edition of I, Pencil in late 2008. Written by Leonard E. Read in 1958, I, Pencil illustrates the importance of markets and dispersed knowledge and shows why centralized economic planning cannot work. In the afterword, Milton Friedman writes: Leonard E. Read’s delightful story, “I, Pencil,” […]

Day 7 – Mom’s Birthday
Today is my Mom’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Mom! (Most of you reading this are probably reading it on Thursday, Jan. 8. If so, my Mom’s birthday was yesterday, Jan. 7.) I have very few pictures of just Mom, so I posted this photo of my parents that I took in December 2007 while […]

Day 6 – Long Exposures in Oberlin
Last night around 8:30, I decided to drive down to Oberlin and take a few long exposures. This is kind of new ground for me since the only type of long exposures I have done are the Illum light art photos. Even though it was pretty cold and kind of windy, I stayed […]

Day 5 – “Free” Country
Thank goodness we live in a free country where we can live the way we want and the government does not control us! …yeah right. Don Cooper, an economist in Atlanta, Georgia, gets it right. In an article at LRC, he explains a normal day in statist America. I suggest reading it. (I […]

Day 3 – Dr. Freeh
This is a photo that I took on Guy Fawkes Day when my English class had its lecture in the amphitheater. I like this shot of Dr. Freeh. I really enjoyed his English class. In other news, I had a great day today. I had lunch with a long-time friend, edited some photos of […]
