    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…

    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…

    Here’s a brief catch-up and checklist of some ‘unofficial’ progress I’ve made this year, up to and including efforts from this past week. I’m not starting from zero, but it’s pretty close. List is ordered from most recent to least, all progress is from 2024. Before this year, I shot on a Sony a6000 kit.…
