Strange Offerings

Strange Offerings

 Posted on February 7, 2013

We’ve been experiencing a weird regular ritual at the old farm-house. Starting about 3 months ago, we’ve received small food offerings on our front sidewalk every month. The items are always fresh and unopened usually consisting of milk, candy, bags of chips and the like. Once was a little strange, but this is now the third time. Originally I assumed that these were accidentally left by some school kids coming home from the elementary school up the street. [Read More]

Break-in, again

 Posted on November 15, 2012

Unfortunately, for the second time in my adult life, my house was broken into last night. I have to say that all-in-all, things are as good as could be possible in such circumstances. No one was home at the time, they were only in the house for an extremely short period of time, and of what they took, none of it had extreme monetary value. That being said, there is truly something awful about being burglarized. [Read More]

The Children's War

The Children's War

 Posted on September 13, 2012

So I’ve spent the whole day feeling pretty rotten, floating in and out of a NyQuil coma. However, being sick on a rainy day is good encouragement to work on some photos. These are from way back in March which should give you an idea of how far behind I am. In any case, below are a series of photo’s from Grace’s nephew Ethan’s birthday party. This ninja themed party was perfect for some great action shots though there is also something a little frightening about how much children relish a sword fight. [Read More]

A Digital Reboot

 Posted on September 4, 2012

It’s with mixed emotions that I retire my home on the web for the last decade. When I purchased radicalwacko.com back in 2001, I was a young, aggressive Libertarian, who thought that he could and should change the world. In other words, I was an insufferable, young, recent college graduate that you wanted to avoid making eye contact with and save yourself from the pedantic lecture that would inevitably ensue.

Demise of Project 365

 Posted on July 23, 2012

As you all probably long ago guessed, I have abandoned my Project 365 photo experiment quite some time ago. It was a fun idea, but it quickly got to the point that I was forcing myself to take pictures that I didn’t like instead of feeling challenged to find subjects that I did want to photograph. I think for a lot of people the demands of such a project can bring out some great creativity, but it just started to burn me out. [Read More]
