October…
Another month has gone, but we’re closing in on the end of 2021. Time seems to be flying by these days, but taking a photo each day does at least provide a bookmark for each day that passes. October is usually the time when the temperature drops, the rain starts to get a bit excitable…

September…
Would you believe it, a whole nine months have passed already. This month we crossed the 100-days-to-go point and oh boy, I really need to find some other things to photograph. Much of the warm and settled weather is now behind us and we now stare down the barrel of another 6 months of darkness…

Physical Media
This past year I’ve been doing something I didn’t think I’d be doing again. After getting rid of all of my CDs, DVDs, books and anything else that wasn’t bolted down, I’ve been re-buying many of them.

Towards the end of July, my camera took an unfortunate dunk in the river and hasn’t quite been the same since. Same old,…

Of June…
The month started a theme that would play out over the course of the month. I’ve spent a lot of time this month feeling rather nostalgic for my younger years –the 1990s in particular. The 90s were where my lifelong love affair with metal really started to build, the band Fear Factory in particular. My…

April…
April was an interesting month, for both good and not-so-good reasons. I had my first COVID-19 shot and even went to the dentist as well, so that’s good. There’s a reassuring hint of the normal life creeping back in. With that said, there’s a lot about the past 12 months that I’d like to keep,…
