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 [...]

23/52: Running Photos
This week’s post was a first for me. I’ve been slowly working on improving and expanding my photography knowledge and skills, and this was the first time I’ve asked someone to specifically model for me. My friend and co-worker Cam, an amazing teacher and runner, agreed to be my subject for this shoot. For this [...]
22/52: Macro Lens & Photos
This week’s project didn’t quite turn out the way I had hoped, and it’s a bit late being posted, but here it is: a set of macro photos from a friend’s Yashica 55mm Macro ML lens. I bought an adapter ring to go from C/Y (Contax/Yashica) to EOS (Canon’s modern lens mount), which allowed me [...]

17/52: DIY Vivitar to 2.5mm Sync Cable for CTR-301p
This week’s post is both late (I usually post on Friday) and less complete than I’d hoped. However, here it is: a DIY Vivitar to 2.5mm sync cable for the CTR-301p flash triggers. I bought a new set of flash triggers several months ago, the Yongnuo CTR-301p. They are a cheap set of triggers, and [...]
6/52: smoke photos + new DIY collapsible softbox
This week, I worked on two photography projects for 52 things: smoke photos, and a new DIY softbox for one of my flashes. Part 1: smoke photos After I made my new macro photo box, I started thinking about projects that it would work well for. I’ve done some water photos before (though none that [...]
2/52: behind the scenes video, part 1
One thing I’ve learned about myself over the years is that I love teaching and sharing knowledge. This led directly into my chosen profession as a technology educator, and also shows itself in other ways, including making demonstration videos. I’m really pleased to be able to offer this week’s 52 things project: Part 1 of [...]

Photo taken by [...]
