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 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 9 – I, Pencil
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 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 […]

Day 2 – Illum in 2008
I was thinking about 2008 today. Among other things like graduating from high school and starting college, 2008 was a big year for Illum, Sean Nelson and my long exposure project. Some of our achievements: Two of our photos were selected to appear in the New Internationalist 2010 planner, some of our photos were […]

Day 1 – Lorain Lighthouse
This is the first post of my 365! I took this photo on Christmas Day. The sun was shining and I wanted to go out and take a few photos. I drove up to Lake Erie and took some photos of various places. This picture of the Lorain Lighthouse is a sample of what […]

Year 2009
For 2009, I decided to start posting more. I posted regularly last year until I went to college and all of my time went to reading, writing, calculating, and thinking. To get in the habit of putting time aside each day to update my blog or work on my website, I decided that in 2009 […]
