  • Day 298 – Two Little Known 40D Settings


    ,

    Here are two settings on the Canon 40D that few owners know about. If you know someone with a 40D, send this along to them! 1: ISO Expansion In normal mode, the 40D only shoots in ISOs 100-1600. Once ISO expansion is turned on, ISO 3200 is made available, denoted as ISO H. This is…

  • Day 291 – Jewish Deli and Art Institute


    ,

    Today was the last day of Fall Break and my last day in Chicago. I celebrated by sleeping in, going to Eleven City Diner with Ryan and Carrie for lunch, then visiting the Art Institute. Shortly afterward, I made my way back to Hillsdale. Eleven City Diner is great! It is a Jewish deli/diner with…

  • Day 290 – Second Full Day in Chicago


    ,

    I had another great day today! We got a late start (slept until 11), but Ryan and I met Carrie at Jake Melnick’s for lunch, which was excellent. I had a beef brisket sandwich, and we got an order of the XXX wings. Those wings are the hottest, yet most flavorful wings I’ve ever had.…

    I had an excellent day today! I slept in, then got up and ate brunch at JamArchived Link, a trendy little spot in Ukrainian Village, just a few blocks from my cousin’s house.

  • Day 288 – Chicago Arrival


    ,

    I finally got my paper finished, turned it in, then hopped in the vehicle and drive to visit Ryan in Chicago. Before I left, it was snowing in Hillsdale! It stopped after 10am, but there was definitely snow falling for a few hours. The ground was warm enough that it melted right away, though. I…

    I am on my way to Chicago on Thursday. I am excited! Besides lots of sight-seeing, photographing, and eating, I plan to update my photography portfolio here on my site while I am there. I have not updated it in a year, and my skills have improved in that time. I have a lot of…

  • Day 282 – Economizing on Brain Power


    ,

    I had an interesting concept brought up to me today while I was discussing the difference between rationality and reason with Professor Lea. To try to understand the difference, we did a thought experiment about making choices. When a person makes a choice, he or she weighs the expected utility (broadly defined) of each unit,…

    I had to do portraits of the guys nominated to the homecoming court here at Hillsdale. I took all of the of the photos outdoors. Taylor Gage could only meet me at night, so I got creative and did a little strobist work with a flash off-camera left. A side note: I am in an…
