  • Upcoming Site Changes!

    I know it’s been pretty quiet here on the main site lately— all the action has been at Tyranny of Pants, and I’ve been otherwise nose-to-the-grindstone working on coloring the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, which is still on-going.  There haven’t been many posts as of late, but it’s mostly because I’ve been keeping busy!…

  • Thirty!

    Today is my thirtieth birthday, and that seems kind of important, somehow. I suppose it’s not really any different than any other birthday, but it still feels like I’m crossing a threshold of some kind. I guess by the time one is thirty, one is supposed to be indisputably an adult, and Have It All…

  • Looking Ahead to the Summer

    Looking Ahead to the Summer

    I’ve been a busy video editor these past couple of days, working on trimming various accumulated footage into a pitch video for our upcoming Kickstarter campaign, titled “Summit to Sea”, which will launch this Sunday. As I’ve mentioned, Lorie and I are planning on kayaking from my childhood home in Stevensville, MT, all the way…

  • Codename Porkchop

    Codename Porkchop

    January is usually the time of year when we find the web and various other media inundated with a variety of either “Best of 2011” lists, or resolutions for 2012. I don’t think I’ll really worry about crafting this first post of 2012 to match either of those themes, but I won’t go so far…

  • December Slump

    December Slump

    I feel like I’ve been incredibly unproductive this month, and I can’t nail down the cause of it. My immediate suspect is all of the travel. Our last several days in Renkum were spent getting ready to hit the road again, and our time in London was too short to really take on a project.…

  • Return to Montana

    Return to Montana

    Yesterday, Lorie and I started our day stepping out of the hostel onto the dark, quiet streets of Amsterdam where a light rain was falling as we made our way to the train station. Exactly 24 hours later, we returned to Montana, where a light snow was falling as we drove from the airport. It…

  • Checking In From Amsterdam

    Checking In From Amsterdam

    Well, I did a terrible job at updating the website from London, but I will try to give you a bit of a travel update from here in Amsterdam, while the laptop has power and internet, since those things will be a little harder to come by tomorrow as Lorie and I fly back to…

  • Cross Posted from the 101 in 1001 Days Project: 100 Day Check-in

    Cross Posted from the 101 in 1001 Days Project:  100 Day Check-in

    In just a matter of hours, Lorie and I will be leaving the house here in Renkum, bound for Amsterdam, and then London. One week from today, by this time, we’ll be somewhere over the Atlantic, home bound for the United States, and then Montana. I’ll try to post from London, before then, if I…

  • Koffie in Arnhem

    Koffie in Arnhem

    With so few days remaining to us during our stay in Gelderland, Lorie and I are beginning our preparations for departure, and that means that we’re making what will likely be our final visits to many areas that have become familiar during the course of these past two months. Today we made the bike ride…

  • What’s My “Urban Style”?

    What’s My “Urban Style”?

    Since we arrived in Amsterdam almost two months ago, I’ve been asking myself a persistent question about my art-making: what’s my urban style? That is, when placed in the environment of the city, what sort of photographs do I make? It was a question that I felt tugging at myself most strongly in Amsterdam, but…
