Photographing: Toledo Mudhens vs. Norfolk Tide

June 22, 2010

This past weekend my parents, Aaron, and I went to see the Toledo Mudhens vs. the Norfolk Tides at 5/3 Field in Toledo, OH. Unfortunately our Mudhens lost, but it was a good game and I decided to test out my cameras ability to shoot baseball from fairly far away. I brought my 50-135mm zoom [...]

A Moment

May 14, 2010

I found this little moment tonight. The pillow was something we had given my grandpa years ago… Every once and awhile I’ll curl up with his dog blanket I made him and this pillow just for a little hug from him. Tonight I turned around and found Wrigley taking a nap on the pillow and [...]

Blogging About Not Blogging?

May 8, 2010

So it’s been just over a week since I issued the inbound challenge to northwest Indiana, southwest Florida, and everyone else around the world. My goodness it’s been incredibly fun to watch. Ignoring the fact that I’ve barely blogged here, I’ve been enjoying spending my 33 minutes a day on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn… and commenting [...]
