I did some riding yesterday and shot some photos. Nice weather (once the sun came out and the wind died down) and good times — first time this year riding with everybody. Here’s a slideshow of some of the better shots: Or check out the photos directly on Flickr if you can’t view the slideshow above.
One of my favorite things about watching Red Sox games is Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo. They’re great announcers, but they’re also pretty entertaining and funny, especially when a game gets out of hand, one way or the other. I specifically remember watching this game — for some reason a guy ends up throwing a …
We’re almost halfway through April and I realized I hadn’t posted anything about March’s photos for the ol’ 356 project. I switched back to just shooting whatever I wanted instead of the “photo topic of the day” I did last month. And since it’s springtime, that means lots of flower photos, which you will see …

This past weekend was the Worcester Cup Bonspiel, a curling tournament at The Country Club in Brookline, MA. The South Shore Curling Club sent three teams (I was on South Shore II) and all three made it to the finals on Sunday, with our team playing for the Worcester Cup! We were pretty proud that our …
Two months into it, and I’m still going. I figured I might lose steam in my second month of taking a photo every day, so to force myself to keep it up I followed fatmumslim’s photo a day: a topic is provided for each day, and that’s what you have to shoot. But for March I think …
Way back in the 1980s, my brother and a couple friends started a BMX `zine. It focused on the New England riding scene at the time, and evolved and grew over the years. I made a lot of friends and learned a lot about design and writing, but after 18 issues of Radazine and 9 …
