Good news from New York! Not only are we moved in and settled, but after a twenty question Adobe Illustrator test (on which I scored a miserable 40%), a 45 minute Ilustrator performance test (solid), a math test (heaven help me… fractions), a spelling test (aced!) and a bucket of charm, FastSigns in Langhorne, PA...

Don’t have much time because I’m writing this from a Panera in Philly; but we got moved in and with only a few small bumps. The place looks fantastic (I’ll send pictures when I get them d/l from the camera); it’s such a good feeling to be able to work together decorating and putting things... Read More

Oh my, my, my. Lots to do. Sitting in front of my desk at home on this, my first day not going to school, I’m feeling rushed but ready. I still have to proctor (not to be confused with proctologist) a few days of NY Regents exams, but the end has basically come and gone.... Read More

Stress, Sunsets and Bob the Kitty
I’m almost too tired to enter this post, yet I feel like choosing every category for it. That’s life right now folks, busy, stressful and emotional. As a matter of fact, if I don’t put tension breakers throughout the post, you too might go insane. So let’s take a look at Bob the Kitty, my... Read More

The Hungry Cow and Ornary Turtle
I did something I’ve not gotten the chance to do in quite a while with all this busyness pulling hard at my sanity–I got lost a few miles from my house. Driving home I took a left where I’ve never taken a left before, an intersection I’ve gone by since I was in third grade... Read More

The unpardonable sin. Traveling halfway across the United States and forgetting a camera. Words will have to suffice, although we’ll leave the “a picture is worth a thousand” right here and just do what we can. I’m of course using the plural collective, why, I don’t know. We got on the road early Friday morning... Read More

Although the job hunt was far from successful, Jess and I had the privilege of joining a ministry group called Urban Hope this afternoon for a children’s service in Kensington, PA. Kensington is a suburb of Philly, obvious by the colonial houses turned slum.

After finishing up a few things here at home, I’ll be heading down to Philly tomorrow morning to visit Jess and find myself a job–although that whole job thing has been about as clear as a steamy mirror. I’ve been putting some serious consideration into turning the still fledgling PlasticMind Design into a hosting reseller... Read More

Boy, oh boy. Everyone said “as you get closer to the wedding, things are going to get busier.” They never told me that it was non-wedding stuff! If my life was simply preparing for a wedding, no sweat. Tuxes picked out? Check. Groomsmen contacted? Check. Picture guy? Check. Videographer? Check. (Or should I say Chuck,... Read More

So I’ve been MIA for a few days (weekend to be precise) with a schedule full of things to do… this time most of them extracurricular: I’ve been working hard to get Movable Type up and running on our new Northern Dutchess Christian School website. This will allow our administration to post up-to-date news and... Read More

Well, the white stuff is here. It fell for about six hours, wet and heavy and made Langhorne a soft, frigid mess. We were at Wal*Mart when it started, looking for winter wear; the only thing we got was snow on our heads and a box of Girl Scout cookies. The cookies were nearly frozen,... Read More

I was shuffling through my virtual photo box and came across photos of a warmer time, when my car started easily and my fingers did not freeze to the windshield wipers. When the ground was moist and dark and unbearded by hoarfrost and the wind was merely cool, the girl and I adventured in the... Read More

After a few wrong turns and a brief self-led tour of the wrong side of Yankee Stadium, we made it to Woodlawn by one and caught the 4 to Grand Central. We emerged from the subway like a pair of track mice set free, blinking in the chromed winter sun and staring wildly up at... Read More

Found this old railroad bridge tucked away in the woods of lower Chatham. I don’t think it’s in service anymore, but it does carry with it quite a bit of character. I did a lomo effect ex post facto, which I think really works with the composition of the shot. S2400102 Originally uploaded by PlasticMind.

Fox Hill Campgrounds, Austerlitz, NY Got up early in the morning and hunted around for a shot and was blown away by this beauty of an accident. I thought it was going to be to dark for a shot, but the sunbeam in the center really lit up the picture. The rich greens, yellows and... Read More
