New York City Marathon photos

Instead of doing a running recap for last week, I’m posting some photos from the New York City Marathon yesterday. We battled the wind on 1st Ave and spent hours cheering. Great times! Desi Linden The lead pack at mile 18 Desi Linden again Kara Goucher [Read More]

Our family has grown, welcome Hattie!

Over the weekend, our little family grew by one. On Friday night, I took home a 5-6 week old kitten that was in need of a home. This makes the current count three cats which puts us inarguably into cat lady territory. Not that we weren’t already proud cat ladies, but now we can’t even deny it if we wanted. While we considered running names like Fartlek (though, “fart-lick”) and Tempo, we ended up sticking with our Futurama naming scheme (flesh-based characters for pets and robots for computers/phones/tablets).

Oiselle #FlyStyle photo shoot

For a little change of pace here, I thought I’d do a little photography post. I said photography was something I wanted to get back into this year, so I need to make good on that, right? My wife is a runner on the Oiselle Team, so she asked me to take some photos of her getting her #FlyStyle on after her run today. Her idea was actually just her laying in the snow, but we ended up with this little set below as we were walking back to the house. [Read More]

Against Me! at the Music Hall of Williamsburg

I know, I know, it’s been a while. Against Me! played the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn more than a week ago now and I’m just getting around to this. I was on vacation and out of the country, okay? Okay. Anyway, by now I’ve already seen a dozen or so reviews of the show and I don’t think I can add much myself, so I’ll just keep this short.

Scavenger hunt results

I had the day off from work last Friday without much to do, so rather than sitting around and doing nothing, I decided I’d put together a fun little adventure for myself. I created my own scavenger hunt to do! But this was unlike most scavenger hunts, instead of having a pre-made list, I took submissions via Twitter/Facebook/comments on this blog while I was actually out doing the scavenger hunt. Since the main goal of this was the spend the day with my camera taking photos, everything submitted had to be something that could be photographed. [Read More]

Tomorrow, I am doing a live, user-generated photo scavenger hunt! You can take part!

Thanks to having some extra use-it-or-lose-it vacation time left at work, I ended up having tomorrow (Friday 12 / 3) off with nothing really planned. Since I’m incapable of doing nothing and just relaxing for an entire day, I wanted to come up with something fun, but relatively cheap to do. I also wanted to take some photos, so I came up with the idea to participate in my own live user-generated photo scavenger hunt in NYC. [Read More]
