Occupy Frederick — A Confessional Photoessay in Vignettes

Quick photo-related note, my photoessay about Occupy Frederick is now live over at wr.brhfl.com. It is, of course, rather photo-heavy. And the written material also rather heavy, or at least, very personal and important to me. Check it out if you have a few minutes. Thanks!

Tumblr, Occupy, &c.

Couple of photo-related things. First, the most minor of points, is that I now have a tumblr running alongside this blog. That will only be for posting select photos. So many of my flickr hits come from tumblr users, I figured getting in with that community could be beneficial.

Second, some new camera reviews should be on the way. My Pentax MX died, and in replacing it, I also picked up a Super Program. I want to do some comparisons of UI in different automatic camera bodies, like the sexy, super-functional single dial approach of the Fujica AZ-1 vs the button & knob approach of Pentax MEs and Programs.

Third, best for last, I briefly spent time with Occupy Frederick this week to get some documentation photos. A wonderful lot to spend time with. I’m in the process of throwing together a lengthy, confessional photoessay to be featured on the written section of this blog, which should be exciting. And a little depressing. Until then, most of the photos are visible at their official site, linked above.

End-of-year, Best-of-year

‘watchful,’ possibly my favorite photo of 2011.

As an introspective sort of an exercise, I went through all of my 2011 photos, and selected my top seven. I put them all into a set on Flickr, for feedback or whatever purpose, I’m not really sure. Anyway, I work better in top threes and sevens than fives and tens, so here’s my top three — and the rest of the seven are on Flickr.


‘quoth,’ a photo i like considerably more than i probably should.


‘like fireworks to water,’ a night shot that i’m really quite happy with.
