matt — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 05:27:07 +0000

On Sunday I had the opportunity to shoot some product shots for Opa Cove a kids life jackets and swim assist vest manufacturer. When I first saw their product line I thought “That’s awesome!! Why didn’t I think of that?” These life jackets and swim assist vests are so much fun for kids and that is what this [...]

Cream Puffs – Project 365: Day 197

matt — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 05:02:37 +0000

My wife is always baking stuff. I love it for a number of reasons. First we all get to sample what she makes so we eat really well around here. Secondly I love that she is always testing her skills, pushing herself to the next level. I think that is really important. When we get complacent [...]

3 Photos, 1 Post – Project 365: Days 194/195/196

It’s Friday before a three-day weekend and I find myself 3 photos behind in posting for my Project 365. I guess I haven’t been managing my time very well. Or maybe it’s because I’ve been distracted by these delicious pineapple filled cookies. First let me say that these things are delicious. They are so light and [...]

Pempek – Project 365: Day 193

matt — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 05:09:32 +0000

Pempek is a delicacy made from fish and tapioca. I was first introduced to this delicious food while in Indonesia. We had friends visit us from Palembang (considered to have the best pempek anywhere) and they brought with them pempek. I couldn’t get enough of it. The sauce that is typically associated with pempek is sweet [...]

Electronic Gadgets – Project 365: Days 191/192

matt — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 04:44:07 +0000

For the past month my wife’s laptop has been running at the speed of Bill Slowsky and while it accomplished what she needed it to do it reached a point where 5-10 minutes to load Facebook was too much to bear. After looking it over and trying things like defragmenting the hard drive, scanning for spyware [...]

Eugene Celebration – Project 365: Day 190

matt — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 02:01:19 +0000

This weekend was the annual Eugene Celebration, a time to celebrate all that is unique and interesting about Eugene. On Saturday there was a parade which in past years has always offered up an eye-full of unique, humorous, political and plain Eugene sights. This year was no different. We arrived a bit late and missed the [...]

Window to the Soul – Project 365: Day 189

matt — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 01:13:31 +0000

This post is a little outside the norm for this site but I figured I would post it anyway. Feel free to ignore if it’s not for you. The eyes indicate the antiquity of the soul. Ralph Waldo Emerson How often is it that we pass a stranger on the street and instead of looking them squarely [...]

Toothbrush – Project 365: Day 188

matt — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 05:51:18 +0000

I realized just the other day that I am now officially more than half-way done with this Project 365. I really can’t believe that I’ve crossed the half-way point. I mean seriously there are times when I really wanted to just quit. Some days it was a real struggle to get the camera out and [...]

Salad and Pigs-in-a-Blanket – Project 365: Days 186/187

matt — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 04:13:39 +0000

It’s a foodie Thursday post. The last few posts I’ve been doubling up the images, not because this is a new trend I am adopting but strictly because I’ve suddenly gotten really busy. I’ve been writing some more content for the photography lessons I’ve talked about in the past and frankly it’s been a challenge. [...]
