superb owl party

Ah, the delberate typo pun. I don’t remember what we did in 2014 for the Super Bowl, but this year we partied with some friends, Kareem and Lauren. Those are some legit wings in the first photo. Good times.

14 pictures of januamiee

The title does not contain a typo; Our friend Amiee has her birthday in January, hates it, and has instead claimed the whole month. It’s not a bad idea. I’d do it myself, except my birthday is rad, and it’s impossible to make a passable portmanteau with “Matt” and “September.” I tried to edit these down to bare essentials, but I got to this number, and my wife was like “Just publish them all,” and I was like, OK, wife, you are right. People do like looking at pictures.

commute again and again

Like I said, some pictures that weren’t even possible before; the fourth one, especially. Incredible speed, and incredible sensitivity in this camera. I love it. The next edit, I promise, is all people. People are way more interesting than scenery. Also: I shot them in a dimly lit bar, which was doubly fun.

street with the new camera

The first few weeks of the new camera where all about things that previously I couldn’t shoot. Anything dark, anything moving, and pretty much anything at all once I got going. I shot 200 pictures of basically nothing the first day. I kept up that pace for at least a week. If I had somethign to shoot, it was even more. A lot of pictures. I’m beginning to come to grips with what that means. I’m going to have to blog a lot more. Maybe be a bit less cautious. Post with wild abandon. If you hate the picutes, there’ll be another post along, shortly, to replace them at the top of the feed.

#rubykaraoke a while back

There’s a traditon among my people, that is to say rubyists, and further, those in the n+1 friends circle of people who’ve worked for Engine Yard. It is, in short, to get shitty and sing ridiculous karaoke. It’s a good time. PJ is often an instigator; but this time we also had Zach and Sarah, and Seemant came out for what seemed like the first time in a while. Oh, and of course Yerhot. Yes, this also means I’m almost three months behind on pictures, in a time when I’ve been shooting more than ever. So, I’m going to try to blog a bit more now… we’ll see how that goes.
