  • Reclaiming My Time

    I’ve been spending too much time doom/rage/mindlessly scrolling on social media. Today I finished The Chaos Machine by Max Fisher and even before I finished it I was cutting back on social media. It’s a well written, meticulously sourced book and left me feeling pretty bad about the amount of time and energy I put…

  • Life Changes

    I keep thinking and writing about making changes in my life but I don’t do them. I know making big changes isn’t good for me even though it has worked out ok in the past. I feel like I have too much at risk if it’s the wrong decision. If I’m being perfectly honest I…

  • Film Photography

    In a recent post I mentioned that I bought a couple of film cameras and I finally got the scans back from the 1st color I roll I put through my Rolleiflex Model T yesterday. Out of 16 exposures I ended up getting 13 and most looked pretty ok, which surprised me because this camera…

  • Learning to Slow Down

    In the age of same day deliveries it’s hard to wait for things to come. I’m talking about things that have to be shipped as well as experiences. I got my first digital camera back in 2007-8-ish and I never looked back. I’d end up take breaks from photography over the years but always pick…

  • Take the Damn Picture!

    This is mainly a reminder for myself to just stop for 5 min and take the pic. I was out for a drive tonight and passed by a local building that I’ve passed thousands of times but this particular night the outside lights and sunset made it look really interesting, but I drove by. About…

  • Accountability III

    Things have been going pretty well on all fronts for me. I’m happy and terrified at that. Mostly because I’ve started really strong on various things and then, inevitably I drop off. That’s what I’m currently waiting for, the drop off. I don’t like feeling that way but it’s been such a constant thing for…

  • This blog sucks, and that’s ok

    I’ve struggled with perfectionism my whole life and I’ve written about not doing things I enjoy because I’m holding myself to a standard that I don’t really know and will never be able to achieve. Perfectionism is nothing but ego and arrogance imho. There’s no way anything I ever do will be perfect *especially* if…

  • Social Media and Me

    I’ve been on social media for a really long time now. Over the last month or so I just really seem to have had my fill of it. I haven’t deleted any accounts yet, and I probably won’t since I have so much history, but I’ve significantly cut down the time I spend on every…

  • Just Start

    I’ve dreamed of making videos for almost 9 years. Back in 2017 I started a YouTube channel about motorcycles and created a few motovlogs because that was the “hot” thing back then. Then, I stopped and never did it again. I really enjoyed the entire process that went into creating a video and posting it…

  • Accountability II

    I think it makes sense for me to make these accountability posts a series. Updating weekly feels very doable to me. In my last accountability post I laid out a few things I was doing. So far they’ve been working. The meal prep service is great and the food is delicious. I didn’t go to…
