Simplicity and Photography. It’s not about the gadgets.

Wednesday, 2010.01.13 J.D. H. One comment

Two links to Ken Rockwell’s site, both of these articles resonant with me. Regarding the first article, as a somewhat gadget obsessed dude that also like photography I can empathize. I know that some of my best photographs were with relatively ancient cameras; and some of my worst photos have been with the “latest and greatest”. The second article is similar to the first one, except going into a bit more of what really makes for good photography. Article #1

Here’s what I’ve been up to: +backed up everything (as part of our periodic backup schedule) +removed the credit card logos from the

John Odom, or jodom as I affectionately refer to him, had his loft featured on the blik blog: Caption: Jodom’s pimpin’ pad Speaking of Jodom’s place, Samantha will be visiting John in STL after Shannon’s bachelorette party this weekend. She’s picking up a hard drive for me and hopefully she, John and Angela will get to chat a bit and maybe grab a tasty bite to eat :-). Top Search Terms:john odom's loft (2)blik+blog (1)

The little creek near our house started running again. We put up four ricks of firewood today. I’m helping Samantha build a weaving bench out of red oak. Working on souping up a Dell M4400 to be a killer notebook ;-). Samantha and I started the P90X workout routine this week, we’re sore. 🙂 Top Search Terms:2nd amend. defender (abbr) (1)responses to windows 7 x64 driver for “acpi tos6205″ (bluetooth) (1)

Weekend home alone

Samantha is visiting family in Bolivar this weekend. That leaves me home alone and up to my own devices. Friday was mainly computer work. Today was mainly remodeling work. Sunday will be some finishing work and clean up; I also need to do some enhancements that John requested for his site. That will complete the weekend :-). Then I’ll be looking forward to Samantha getting home. We don’t have too much pre-planned for the week. However, we always seem to
