Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

This is part one of probably a two part series of posts about summer travel, specifically relating to airline travel. As we head into the summer and people are getting out of school many are starting to think about their summer travel plans.  Some people will travel for summer jobs, some just for fun, and…

The final day of the photography workshop that I have been at this week started dark and early at 0410 when our alarm went off.  Under the barely blueish pre-dawn light we made our way up to Dead Horse Point State Park to photograph the sunrise.  As I mentioned before, we photographers are a very…

Thankfully today didn’t start wicked early, we got to sleep until about 0600 so that we could be ready for an 0730 departure.  On the other hand, we are doing another early morning tomorrow with an 0445 departure, so I m going to try to be brief so that I can get to bed. We…

Today began at the ungodly hour of 4AM.  Photographers are a rare breed like that, we think that it is cool to get up BEFORE the ass-crack of dawn so that we can catch the best light of the day.  Sure, there are other people who get up or stay up for bizarre times (like…

Today was the first day of the Photo workshop.  So far it has been a blast.  I am not going to write too much on account of the fact that I have to get up at 4AM to be out the door by 4:30AM so that we can shoot sunrise at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands…

So, for those of you who don’t know, I am spending this week at a photo workshop in Moab, UT.  It is a desert Landscape workshop.  This kind of thing is right up my alley.  So, for the next few days, you probably won’t get my usual ramblings.  What you will get is a bunch…

I think that every week I probably say something akin to: “I can’t believe that it is Friday again!”  The thing is, it is always true.  It is also always true that getting to Friday every week is an adventure.  Sometimes it is working on a show, sometimes it is finishing up the season.  Sometimes…

It is amazing the details that you remember when things happen quickly.  The world around you can also change pretty darn fast sometimes.  That happened today on the way home from work.  Go figure that when you stay a little later than you had planned the shit hits the fan.  However, in the end, things…

Can silence be? the background hum the world ever present alone at night sitting silence has a sound Cars on the street pages flitter drafts send plumes of swirling past sheets rustle against bare skin there is none but me who sit contemplating no other presence to fill rooms Outside when the snow falls gentle…

It isn’t that I was busy yesterday so much that I was sleeping in after partying late after closing the show.  I did have to work for a little bit yesterday, but nothing crazy.  Of course, my phone also crashed yesterday which was a big pain in the ass.  I mean, it isn’t that hard…
