Day 278 of 365 – Snow Drops
I had no idea James Coletta was such a big fan of my macro photography work, so I figured I would take another macro shot involving the snow from the storm for him. Here ya go James, hope you like it.
Day 277 of 365 – Blizzard
I set up my camera in the window of my apartment and took a shot every hour or so. I stacked the images on top of each other, then sliced them in to strips to show the progression of the storm. This isn’t exactly what I had in mind, since I didn’t take any other photos yesterday, I am going to roll with this.
Day 276 of 365 – Cork+Screw
I completely forgot to bring over a cork screw to the new place, so I made due with what I had.
Day 275 of 365 – Sour Patch Things
Sour Patch Kids never looked like “Kids” to me, but they where always my second favorite candy. My favorite is the yellow / lemon. What is yours?
Day 274 of 365 – New Phone
After I smashed my iPhone for the 4th or 5th time, and the battery stopped working properly, it was time to look for a new phone. I have been wanting this phone since I got my Nexus 7 and finally got a great deal on one through Craigslist. This phone is crazy fast and does everything my iPhone could do and better. The switch to Android was long overdue!
Day 273 of 365 – House warming present
Dan Riti gave us our first house warming present – salt and pepper shakers that look like rolls of film! Photo taken at ISO400 for good measure 🙂
Day 272 of 365 – Worth It
Thanks to some help from Dan Riti, we got this sofa back to working condition. Well worth the troubles.
Day 271 of 365 – Mission Impossible
Getting this sofa in to the new apartment was a serious mission. We spent about 3 hours in that hallway trying to get the thing in to the apartment but failed pretty badly. Sam came by to give us a hand with some straps and managed to help us get the beast in to the apartment in 20 minutes. Poor planning on my part x50.
We chewed up some walls and broke a section of the couch pretty badly, but with a few minor repairs, the walls and sofa should be as good as new.
Day 270 of 365 – First Night
I was non-stop all day Friday, but it was worth it. Right before midnight I realized I had not taken a 365 photo, so I figured I would take a shot of me in the new place.
Day 269 of 365 – Mechanical Bull
I shot some photos for The Colosseum in Providence, RI this past Thursday night, which involved a mechanical bull. This was a really good time, even if I was working and 10 years older than most of the people I was taking photos of!
Day 268 of 365 – Used Oven
Baker and myself have been painting and doing some minor cleaning and prepping of the apartment before we move in. Luckily the apartment has a new fridge, but the oven is quite old. I was told it’s a really nice oven, which has been verified with some Google’n. It needs some cleaning to make it look really nice, so we decided to start tackling it on Tuesday evening.

Day 266 of 365 – Follow the light
Day 265 of 365 – Fresh Guacamole
I spent Sunday running errands and painting the new apartment with Baker. My first two apartments would not allow me to paint the walls, so this is a nice change of pace. The last time I painted my bedroom it was “Asparagus Green”, this time I went with “Guacamole Green”. I kinda have a thing for fruit and vegetable colors.
Day 264 of 365 – Small Big Moon
I keep failing at big moon shots because I do not have a long range lens. I think if I had a 300mm lens or so I would be able to get nice landscape shots like this, but with the moon super huge, not tiny like it l0oks here. In person the moon looked monstrous, I’ll eventually get this right.
Day 263 of 365 – Headache Home Remedy
I stumbled across a home remedy for a headache that actually worked almost instantly! I almost never get headaches, and it’s a good thing since I am allergic to most medications such as Tylenol, Advil, etc etc.
This remedy is super simple: mix some lemon juice with salt, then rub the mixture on your forehead and temples. Within a few minutes my headache almost completely disappeared. It is recommended to also drink a cup of herbal tea, which also seemed to help out. instead of reaching for the pain meds the next time you get a headache, give this remedy a shot!
Day 262 of 365 – No Problemo
I have been meaning to check out the restaurant No Problemo in New Bedford, MA for quite some time now and finally had the chance to do so with some good friends on Thursday night. I had some red wine sangria, a Zapata burrito (Rice, Black Beans, Cheese, Salsa, Sour Cream, Guacamole & Roasted Red Peppers) and a side of chips and guacamole.
Everything was absolutely amazing and FRESH, so amazing I had to make this my 365 for today. I was that weirdo in the restaurant popping off shots of his big ass burrito with his big ass camera, and I do not even care. I foresee No Problemo’s being on a regular weekly rotation for sure. If you are in the area, and by area I mean a 50 mile radius of New Bedford, MA, you really need to check this place out.
Day 261 of 365 – Kids these days
I can’t even begin to imagine what my life would be like had I been brought up with today’s technology. My 2 year old nephew navigates my Nexus 7 better than my 50 year old mother can, and he is not even fully potty trained yet! I can’t even remember what I was playing with when I was 2, but I am sure it did not include a microprocessor.
Day 260 of 365 – Hipster Sunrise
When I travel to New Bedford for work, I am usually traveling during the sunrise, which produces really strong glare. Nothing some sunglasses or a sun visor can’t fix, but when it snows, or has just snowed, it truly sucks. The combination of glare, snow, drivers who do not clean off the top of their car before hitting the highway, and black ice, it really makes for an interesting commute.
