    I’m still behind. Technically, today (Feb 2) just started Week 6, but I’m going to try to post in order so that when October or November comes around, I can look back on all my progress properly. On to the progress: So far, I am up to date on A Year with my Camera, I’ve…

    Not a whole lot to write about here for week 3 of 2025 unfortunately. Here’s what I was supposed to do, and what I missed. Supposed to do: What I missed I’m able to catch up, but what I managed to do was create a rubric and a way to track these assignments in excel…

    I’m writing this mid-week, because I know if I’m doing a year of this, some exercises will be more laborious and time consuming than, say, AYMC Lesson 1. I need to sit down this week and write out a plan – like an actual rubric. I have an idea to use Excel and make a…

    The new year is off to a good start! At the time of writing (Sunday evening 1/5), I did the first lesson of “A Year with my Camera” and prepared for the first assignment in r/photoclass. I’m about to head out to do the Week 1 prompt for 52 Frames, a self-portrait (fitting!), and I…

    In reviewing my emails from last month, as well as my purchases, I re-discovered that I have access to a few instructional videos from Nikon. So today, I’m diving into a video called “Getting the Most Out of Your Z 6II/Z 7II” and since it’s only about 45 minutes long, I thought I could knock…

    This is going to be a bit of a ramble, but for myself it’s just helpful to get all these thoughts written down because the last few days have been relatively locked in but unfocused. And that’s fine because I’m new at this, and just starting. I started the new year taking around 60 photos…

    I’m writing this post on December 23, 2024 near Boston Harbor. It’s … very cold today. Like, 11 degrees Fahrenheit cold. And at 8:20 AM EST, as I write this, it’s much warmer than when I was out snapping photos of the sunrise. I took around 125 photos this morning, and from just about 6:56…

    I wrote a test page for this post last week, and forgot to come back to it. To recap (since it’s been about 7 days), I’m going to write about 3 things: a weekly update, some random thoughts, and lessons learned. So this is the first post about lessons learned! Time. I knew this in…
