the trip to work So 8 days in, and I’ve yet to show anything about the trip to work… Really, this was mostly by design: I’m sharing pictures more or less in the order they were taken, and I didn’t have the guts to pull out the camera in the taxi until the second week. …

12 Days in Costa Rica: Day 7 (pt. 2)
Cariari (part 3) Indeed, mankind was created impatient. But we only live for 80 or 100 years, at most. All living things die: that’s the way Allah azza wa jall created us. While we’re here, we build all manner of things. And to build those things, we tear down other things. We show little disregard …
12 Days in Costa Rica: Day 7 (pt. 1)
Cariari (part 2) Other than that Saturday at Irazu and around Cartago, most of the photographs I took were on photowalks around Cariari. Today, we’ll wrap up the first roll I shot through. First up: manmade Cariari…

12 Days in Costa Rica: Day 3
As you may recall from my 365 project (and later posts), I sometimes struggle a bit with social anxiety bordering on agoraphobia. It has lessened a good deal in recent years: I think it has something to do with being married and thus being around people more or less most of the time. But I …
LC-A week: 5 (re-cap)
I know, I know. I promised a week, but here it is, merely 5 days in, and already it’s time to recap. Oh well. There are only so many shots on a roll. So I shot one out the side door in the wee hours of the morning (probably), and I shot one late in …
