Creepy Holiday Portraits

My roommates and I decided that it’d be funny to go to Sears Portrait Studio and get some holiday photos taken. We figured it’d be funny, and then we’d have cards to send out to friends and family for the … Continue Reading

Mandolin Birthday Cake!

My girlfriend and I spent a good part of this past Saturday night/Sunday morning making a birthday cake for my roommate, Paul. He seems to be partial to the mandolin, so my girlfriend thought it’d be a good idea to try and make a cake that looked like the instrument. I had never done anything like this before, but I was confident that she knew what she was doing.

Dan Pacifico Bouldering at Pirate’s Cove (Corona del Mar)

Southern California beaches and bouldering? It sounded too good to be true. The holds were a little wet, but the weather was perfect for bouldering. Unfortunately we didn’t have climbing shoes or a crash pad with us, so our efforts were weak at best… But this photo was more than worth it.

Seeds in the Breeze

These photos were taking on a day hike in Santa Ynez. I came across a patch of Cape Ivy and impulsively grabbed a handful of the seeds. As I blew them into the air, I instantly realized the potential for some cool shots.

Hungry Eyes (Lexi in Santa Ynez Campground)

This photo was taken while we were frying up an obscene amount of bacon in a cast iron skillet over a roaring campfire. It turns out that dogs like bacon too, and Lexi’s eyes were on the prize.

Light Painting in Joshua Tree National Park

Post-Bouldering Sunset At Stony Point

This has gotta be one of my favorite photos. It’s a decent shot, but I love what it reminds me of.

It was taken after a long and exhausting day of bouldering at Stoney Point (Stoney Point Outcroppings in Chatsworth, California) on January 24th, 2010. I remember feeling incredibly satisfied with…

Goggle Man (Shippensburg, PA)

Shot on Nikon N60, F8 @ 1/350th. Taken for a college photography course in 2006.

This guy is well known in the small college town of Shippensburg, PA. He can be seen walking around in camouflage with a bucket and a cane, and if you stop to talk with him he’ll ramble about absolutely nothing…

DDoS? LOIC? The Wikileaks Saga: Primer For An Internet War

If you’ve been following the Wikileaks saga, you’ve probably heard that Paypal, Visa, and Mastercard have stopped processing donations to Wikileaks. In retaliation, Wikileaks supporters, operating under the collective name “Operation Payback”, have launched attacks on the 3 sites. They succesfully knocked both Visa and Mastercard’s sites offline for several hours yesterday, and apparently Paypal’s blog was down for a bit as well. So how are they doing this?
