  • Day 158 – ASHS Graduation


    I took photos at Amherst Marion L. Steele High School’s graduation ceremony tonight. Here is a shot of graduate Josh Gonzalez shaking the Superintendent’s hand after receiving his diploma. View the Steele HS website for three more photos. I apologize that this post is short today. I got back from the graduation pretty late (I…

  • Day 157 – Hammock


    ,

    This is what I like to do in the summer–lay in my hammock. I frequently substitute a book for my laptop, though. (By the way, I am posting this while I am out in my hammock.) Other things I like to do: take photos, shoot trap/skeet/sporting clays, read, and spend time with family and friends.…

  • Day 156 – Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes


    ,

    I thought a little bit this evening about how much Hillsdale has challenged and changed my ideas, just over the last year. What started this tonight was that I read a note from my friend Matt Stone, who is interning in DC this summer. He went to a lecture hosted by the Leadership Institute, and…

  • Day 155 – Urban Photos


    I am pretty drawn to urban photos, which puzzles me because I get bored of urban areas after a few days. My fascination with urban photography can probably be explained by the fact that the photos usually only capture the beauty of the city, not the immense amount of people, noise, and (usually) garbage that…

  • Day 154 – Fat Fish Blue/HOB


    ,

    Tonight, Amanda and I ate at Fat Fish BlueArchived Link in downtown Cleveland, and then went to the concert at the House of Blues that I won tickets for. (Pete Yorn and Ryan Humbert) The music was alright, but not something I would have paid for. Amanda liked it a lot, though, so that was…

  • Day 153 – Hillsdale in WSJ / Birzer Pre-Order


    Hillsdale was in the Wall Street Journal today! Read the article. Also, Dr. Birzer, one of my history professors at Hillsdale, has a book coming out next February, and Amazon has it available for pre-order. Here is the cover: Dr. Birzer has authored and co-authored many other books. I suggest checking them out. One more…

  • Day 152 – Update on Life


    ,

    I have been posting lots of photos and thoughts lately, and I have neglected to post about what is going on in my life, so I will do that today. First of all, I would like to thank those of you who emailed, called, or talked in person to me about what I posted yesterday.…

  • Day 151 – I Would Like Advice, Please


    ,

    I have been struggling with this question for quite some time, and it came up tonight, which rekindled my thinking on it: How do you ask a man behind the counter for a soda when you don’t think there is a man there? You could use Pascal’s wager on this and say that you can…

  • Day 150 – Portraits, Portraits, Portraits


    ,

    I took portraits all day today, starting with my cousin and her daughter in the early afternoon, and Michelle in the late afternoon/evening. I learned a great deal about how to use off-camera strobes and different outcomes from different setups. Please check out the galleries and let me know what you think. View the gallery…

  • Day 149 – Spider Holster

    Today, my cousin sent me a message about something new to carry your camera: the Spider Holster. View the press release. I am going to get one as soon as it comes out! Note: This image is a screen shot from spiderholster.com. Tonight I went to see Angels and Demons with Amanda. It was a…

  • Day 147 – Analytics Report


    Download the 13 page analytics report for cagrimmett.com. The report shows stats since I started the project 365 on January 1. It has some pretty neat data in it, so check it out! The weather was rainy most of the day here, so I did not take track photos as I expected to. I am…

  • Day 146 – More Smoky Mountains


    As promised, I posted more photos from GSM National Park above. They are best viewed large, so click on them! Today I worked for a while, then come home and cooked dinner for my parents (no big feat, because it was Zatarain’s Dirty Rice Mix, which you really only have to cook ground beef for,…

  • Day 145 – Manuel & Cara


    ,

    This is another off-camera strobe test. The strobe was off to the right on the ground, and I fired it with my Canon ST-E2. Manuel and Cara are a wonderful couple who I had the pleasure of meeting this year at Hillsdale. They both look tired because they just finished their last final exams of…

  • Day 144 – Subjective Burger


    ,

    I went and shot a round of trap and a round of skeet this morning. The people at the Gun & Reel club on Middle Ridge Road are very nice and super friendly! I like shooting there. After I got home, I decided to make myself lunch (my parents are on a cruise, so I…

  • Day 143 – Chris Volante


    Here is another shot of Chris Volante from The Sharp Edges: I had a nice day today. I slept in, got a haircut, then spent the day with HankD and Jackie. We went to the new Quaker Steak & Lube in Vermilion, then went putt-putting and got ice cream.

    Here is another photo from the Night Lights & Illum collaboration. This one has our stencils in it! In other news, I am safely home from my trip to the south. I had a lot of fun. See the last 8 days on here to see what I was up to. Also, I now have…

  • Day 140 – Smoky Mountains


    ,

    I drove back to my grandparents’ house in Tennessee this morning, then we spent the day driving through the Smoky Mountains. We had a wonderful time! Here are two photos I took. More will follow in a few days when I am back home and have reliable internet access again.

  • Day 139* – Illum + Night Lights Collaboration


    ,

    Tonight I met up with Michelle Wood and her friend (a.k.a. Night Lights on Flickr) to do some light graffiti. Michelle take photos in the Gwinnett, GA area, which is a little less than an hour away from my aunt and uncle’s house, so we decided me meet up while I was down here. We…
