The Becoming Project - An Online Portfolio

Wow! This summer has really flown by! I almost can’t believe it. People are going back to school already and Labor day is already next weekend. It really feels like it just got started.

I have been secretly ashamed at the lack posts on this site this summer. It looks like I am averaging about 1 post a month. Hopefully that will change as the fall draws near. With the addition of Dailyblur.com to my site list, the little time I have for posting is directed there.

This weekend we are off to Denver for a friends wedding. It will be nice, neither of us have been there before and I am really looking forward to getting some great shots of a new city.

Last weekend I was walking down Clark street and I happened to see a Lomo Fisheye toy camera on display and I ended up buying it. It is great because it was really affordable and takes an extreme wide angle view of the world.

Well that is about all for now. I hope everyone enjoys what summer we have left.

I wanted to let everyone know that I have decide to start a daily photoblog. I am very excited about making this idea a reality. Basically I realized that I have too many photos, and mainly too many stories to not have a photoblog. Also one of the main reasons I have been motivated is that over the last few years I have been increasingly jealous of people have streams of photographs that you can trace back. They have a great history that is documented and can be enjoyed. There have been a few links in my photography section for a while now of Noah K Everyday and The Adaption to my Generation - A Daily Photo Project ++ c 7 11 23 and I am just so amazed at peoples dedication. True dedication is becoming harder and harder to come by. Therefore it is time for me to join in the fun!

Well I am back in Chicago and finally over the flu that I picked up as I was leaving San Francisco. The weather here today was in the 80s!!! I thought 60s in San Francisco was beautiful compared to the 40s we were plagued with before I left., but today was  great.  Joellen and I went to North Ave beach for a nice walk. Anyone who is visiting Chicago should pay a visit to this place.

Seeing as it is now cold again, I decide to post some photos of a weekend Joellen and I spend in Wisconsin a month or two ago. It was very cold and it was just a few days after they got a ton of snow. It was a brief trip, but I still had time to mess around with a new toy.

I recently realized how much I needed a scanner. I have a pretty large slide and negative collection that has never been digitized. Also over the summer my grandfather let me use the family slide collection to show everyone what a real slide show was like.  While looking through all the slides  I realized how important it is to have digital copies of these slides. I think it is a common realization.

Anyways, this let me to do a great deal of research to find the greatest bang for the buck. In the end I ordered the Epson 750 M-Pro scanner. I should be getting it soon and I will gladly let you know how the process goes.
