[downtown milwaukee, spring 2006]
I've been keeping online journals or weblogs in one form or another since 1999, but I've never stayed in the same place for longer than a year or two at a time.
I miss having a place to post photos and write a bit, especially on mornings like this one, when it's dark and I can hear the rain against my bedroom window and my coffee is strong and hot and everything feels ....OK.
Photography is simply a hobby for me. There's no pretense here of me being an artist. When people buy a digi cam and all of a sudden become pretentious about it, it just annoys me. I simply enjoy taking photographs. However, I haven't really worked at it in months. Hopefully this site will force me to shoot something...anything...on a regular basis. I just bought a Canon Digital Rebel XT, and for that price, I better start shooting a lot of photos. A co-worker is also making strong hints about buying me a digital photography class for my birthday next month, so, it's time to pick up the camera again.
So this is my playground. It's a forced way to make myself have a hobby so that my job doesn't make me insane.
Who am I? I'll be added to my "About" page as we go.
The name of the site? My birthday. I've used this name for a site before and I always rather liked it.
The plan for this site? Right now, just to share photos and write tidbits about my day or about interesting things I find on the Web.
So to start us off, thanks to Cas for sharing this Flickr stream with me. Please put Prince Albert back in the can, I beg you.
