Tumblelog Rebranding

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 16:07:20 -0600

I've rebranded my tumblelog (hosted on Tumblr) as always.on.my.mind—take a peek to see what's tickled my fancy, as I clip and jot my way to oblivion.

Photography Updates

Sun, 08 Feb 2009 15:54:31 -0600

I've uploaded many of my photos—including my amateur grit, eye_spy, and others—to my Flickr account and linked to that site from my arts page.

From my Flickr profile:

i am egotistical, that much i can admit. but even i am not so full of myself that i would purport to call myself an accomplished photographer. i am the seminal rank amateur.

these days, i mix things up shooting with my cell phone, canon ae-1, sony h50, and various low-grade, fixed-focus plastic cameras.

i find myself drawn to urban and rural decay, architecture, and shoot the occasional portrait or still life. i prefer grainy black & white and blatantly over-/under-saturated color.

eye_spy / intentional intimation merger

Sat, 20 Dec 2008 16:51:53 -0600

I recently folder the eye_spy cell phone photography blog into my intentional intimation blog. Since both were so infrequently updated and both serve as a general chronology of my life events, it didn't make much sense to maintain two separate blogs. There are some semi-recent updates. Have a peek.

For those family and friends interested, I've posted updates to intentional intimation. Visit to sate my curiosity, gain insight as to why it takes me two years to finish a book, and discover why life has me begging for more sleep lately.

I've posted plenty of new photos to the eye spy cell phone photography blog, including a sweet, pixelated shot of George Carlin (sorry, but it's the best my phone can do from balcony row "H").
