a Week or so ago I was at the skate park in grants pass with Justin Ross. Had some good time hanging out. Pulled out my camera, Jennifer Justins sister took the photo. I did a little post processing to it but almost none. Nice shot Jennifer!

  I have been using a podcast hosting service to host the podcast/radio show that I produce called OSU in Review.  The problem with the hosting service is that it is pretty unreliable.  Mypodcast.com is the service that I’m currently using; it has a limited amount of storage space for me to upload. I’m currently looking in to other solutions for me to host more podcasts. I’m thinking that I will begin to prioritize the …

  Met up with my friend Justin last night in Eugene Oregon. Today we went out and did a little rock climbing; I haven’t done much rock climbing since I was a kid. I’ve wanted to get in to climbing for a while but haven’t put enough time toward it. I went in this evening to the rec center at OSU, which is free for me to use,  and signed up for a quick belay and …

One of my favorite things about spring/ spring break is the weather finaly being good enough to start up the disc golf season. I remember a couple years ago every day after school my friends and I would Play no less then 2 games a day( as im writting this ray is next to me wanting to steal the cookies from dutch bros, back to the story) Good times. I was allot better then than …

Right now im currently on my spring break. So far im having a very good time. I went down to San Francisco with my dad on sunday and spent a couple days down there. The first time Iwas in San Francisco was last year about this time.  While in San Francisco I try to take advantage of the oppurtunity to take photos as much as I can.  Most of the time I like to shoot …

Im thinking about printing some photo enlargments of my better work. I found a place through campus that will do large format printing . It will cost but its not too much.

Ive been out shooting with my Nikon D1 over the past couple days. I really am getting to like the camera. I still have yet to go on an actual shoot with it, but besides the limited battery life feel that I could do very well with it. Im impressed on how well a 2.7 megapixel camera can do. I dont plan on doing any large format prints from the D1, my 6.1 megapixel D40 …

I have too many things and not enough skill.  This is a flaw that I have allowed myself to develop for a while.  As I look around I have everything that I want right next to me. Though what I am beginning to notice is that I have more gear then I have skill. I’m finding that it is going to be important for me to get better at the things I like and continue …

This last week I bought a nikon D1 online. The D1 was the first professional DSLR that nikon sold. This was back in 1999, Now that its ten years later the limitations of  the technology of the day are becoming more and more apperent.  the Nikon D1 was built with a 2.7 megapixel sensor, which compared to my D40 is less then half the resolution. Still for the price I paid for this camera , …

Drove down to eugen last night. I didnt really know this but there is a zombie walk on valentines day in down town eugne. Apperently hundreds of people dress up like zombies and walk the streets. We caught a couple of them on video.     Then robert grabbed the camera and wanted to act like Bear Grylls, for no reason.  

Watched some Mad Max tonight, Fun times catching up on a cult classic that I had never seen. Now I have to hurry up and watch the road warrior movies.

This is an older story I wrote last year about an experience some friends and I shared while in wolf creek. Not a place you want to find yourself or worse someone else on a winter night. So the other evening after spending time with some old friends I find out from Tyler that a group of people are going to a ghost town in wolf creek; I hesitate momentarily, then reply with “I’m all …

I went out shooting this afternoon to pass the time and because I haven’t invested enough time into it lately, I took off for a drive and headed north out of Corvallis; I took some interesting roads and found some cool places. I would just drive until something caught my eye and I would pull over and try to get the image. Here are a couple photos from today.

Last Saturday I ended up staying up all night , I wanted to go out and take some pictures, sunrise is a wonderful time of day that I really don’t take enough advantage of. Since I was already up I got my gear together and I took off. My friend Ito asked to come along so I picked him up and headed out of town to a wildlife refuge that’s south of Corvallis. The location …

Often I think that if I can be aware I can see what’s coming and do my best to avoid it. Which seems like pretty good logic; but time after time I find myself in the same spot. It seems that just like clockwork I have entered the midterm doldrums. This syndrome that I describe could be unique to just college or maybe just me, but during the weeks that follow my midterms I find …

Tonight I got the opportunity to go to Portland to watch the band fiction family with Jon Foreman of Switchfoot and Sean Watkins of Nickle Creek.  Both bands that I have been a big fan of for a long time. The band played very well and its still feels fun when you discovering a new band even if  its from the same people.  it was a nice surprise having Sara Watkins (nickle creek) play with …

So the Story goes that back in my senior year of high school at hidden valley a group of us were all hanging out by the stage in the commons.  Now in the video nathan leaps into my arms for whatever reason that day. Though lerking around on the side was Jeffery! Jeffery was a freshman while we were all seniors. Now he was a nice kid but somtimes he just really didnt get some …

I’m going to start a new thing that I hope to keep up. I want to fully read one Wikipedia page a day, my plan is to pick a topic that I don’t know enough about and research it. Tonight im spending my evening watching the red violin in my film rhetoric class. Interesting movie. Though its slow and on most accounts it doesn’t fit the style of film I normally like,It is made in …

We had an good discussion in our group about the ownership of the network. I am on the side of network neutrality. I feel that the only way to insure that is to have an …

Already I feel that 2009 will be a special year. As I come in to the new year I am 20 years old; an age that I will only get to be once, and in it I want to make it the best that I can. Here are some new years resolutions I want to try to stick to. There really nothing to profound but I know if I stick to them it will drastically …
