Kellergeist
This should probably be on the 406 Photos site, but I’m focused on this one for now, so it is what it is. I met some friends at the temporary Kellergeist location this afternoon.

Roadblocks
One of the reasons I don’t post more is because when I sit down to write something, I feel like it has to be some long complicated thing. I feel like I need to write a draft, revise, rewrite, collect images, blah, blah, blah. Don’t get me wrong—those are all things that usually lead to … Continue reading Roadblocks
Experimenting with Stories
Definitely don't see the point of having "Stories" in a WordPress website. I'll leave this one up to remind myself not to do it again. 🙂 What is the obsession with stories, anyway?

The full gallery is at 52.daniel.photo, but here are the first 10 (11 if you count the self portrait to start the … Continue reading 52 Portraits 2021

Fix: Day One December Update Won’t Install
Towards the end of December, the MacOS App Store notified me of an update for the Day One app. Every attempt I made to install the update failed. On both of my MacBooks.

Sunrise Photos to Start 2021
Let's face it, 2020 was just a weird year. It was an uncreative one for me--I shot fewer photos than I ever have. So last night I decided I was going to start 2021 off right. I didn't care what the subject matter was, I just new I was going to start the day shooting … Continue reading Sunrise Photos to Start 2021
