For this final week’s project, I decided to mount some photographs to give away to chromedecay friends and contributors. Here’s one of the final pieces, which is an 8×10 print mounted on black foamcore. This one’s going to Joshua Schnable as a gift. The basic pieces were pretty easy to make. I cut up black [...]

51/52: City of Lights behind-the-scenes photos
This week was the annual Christmas musical production at the church I attend, Bethesda Bible Church in Ypsilanti, MI. I played guitar and ran loops for our band (using the church music rig I posted about in week 24), and had a great time of it. There’s always downtime for the band during rehearsal, of [...]
50/52: a day of snow photos
This week’s project was a little light in terms of what I accomplished. As such, this writeup is very much about process, not as much about results. This was an extremely busy week for me at work and in my personal life, so I knew I would not have any time during the week to [...]
49/52: Help-Portrait
This past week’s project is overdue as concerns posting about it. On December 4, 2010, I participated in the Ann Arbor area’s Help-Portrait event. It’s hard to post much about an event like this, as it’s quite personal and part of the ideals include not sharing images produced. Even posting about it has been delayed [...]

I have been using iPhoto for many, many years as my photo library software, [...]
45/52: autumn colors in film and digital
For this week’s project, I wanted to pull out a creative tool I haven’t used in a few years: my Lomo Fisheye film camera. I decided to make this week’s project about the juxtaposition of shooting film and digital to capture the autumn colors and mood. My goal was to shoot all week, with both [...]
41/52: The Press Delete
For this week’s project, I drove up to Holland, MI to shoot promotional and live concert photographs of The Press Delete, a great band that my cousin Jamie Pierce plays in. The Press Delete were playing a show at the Park Theater in Holland, and we intended to shoot some promotional photos they could use [...]

38/52: camp photos
This past week, I spent 4 days at a beautiful camp in Michigan, as part of my day job teaching at Honey Creek Community School. While I was there, I had the opportunity to take some photos. I hope you enjoy them.
