I have this habit. Though it isn’t particularly unhealthy or harmful, I’ve slowly picked it up over the years. Sometimes I do it and don’t realize it.

I check myself out in the mirror. A lot.

Not just right before I head out the door. Anything reflective will do. A newly washed car. The sliding doors in an elevator. Spoons. Your eyeballs. The frequency is so outrageous that Carly Simon must have seen me coming 30 years early.

And I know what you’re going to tell me. “Ian, if i were as roguishly handsome as you, I’d do the same, you scoundrel!” Outlandish and utterly fictional statements aside, you are judged on how you look. Applying this mentality to photographs, attempting to perfect your pictures can go horribly awry.

Brighten up the teeth, sure. Mask out some hair, understandable. Getting rid of some underarm flub, no problem. Just make everyone keeps their limbs.

Please, photoshop responsibly.

I usually don’t recall my dreams - with the exception of last night’s.

Trees aflame, children crying, the skies a red delight.

An ugly monster, eight feet tall, plucked me where I cowered.

His saliva, hot as candle wax, strew about and showered.

Then as my soul departed to end my earthly play,

he held me close and whispered,

“Have a bandit day.”

“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” - Dorthea Lange

I’m not sure how to describe it. The fluttering of an angel’s wings? Or an infant’s sigh? Description aside, every camera owner knows the sound their shutter makes as the exposure is made.

*Ka-chik*

I want you to meet one of my great loves, Bandit. He might be a little small, but he’s packing where it counts. What’s that? You think “Bandit” is an odd name? Well, what else would you name something that takes pictures?

I remember finding my late great uncle’s Canon A-1 SLR ( built like a tank. The SLR, not my great uncle.) Once I held its metal body up to face and took a picture of myself in the mirror, I could feel my face contort into a maniacal grin.

Photography is life. You can mash ‘em up, paste them together, blow out the highlites, soften the edges, and add vignette until your heart bleeds. And if you don’t like it, just hit ‘undo’.

Congratulations to Dispatched_Polaroid and Cowcheeks’ graduation into the DSLR world. I’m very happy for you

and also very sad for your wallets.

Remind me to caulk my drafty windows.

Grumpy. That’s how I feel when i watch the sun set at 5:23p. With daylight setting so early, my brain automatically tells my body it should be tired and I should be getting rest. So I end up hopping into bed at 10:30p.

I’m getting grumpy just thinking about how grumpy I am.

Realistically, I really have nothing to complain about. In Fairbanks, Alaska, in the dead of winter, less than four hours separate sunrise and sunset. And then the polar bears come and eat you.

Hurry up, old man winter. Spring can’t be too far behind. For the folks in Fairbanks, make sure you stock up on shotgun shells.

Q: "How can you describe your style [of working]?"

A: "Well, I usually poke at things with a stick until they move. And if they don't move, I just get a bigger stick."

Tip #15: Phone interviews are a quick and cost effective way for employers to get a sense of who you are. You should be in a quiet area where there are no distractions. That means making sure there are no disturbances.

Also, this is the only interview where pants are optional.
