Oh Snap: The Midtown Greenway

Mister Viddy — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 00:05:04 +0000

Today found me riding the Midtown Greenway. On the return trip home I sidetracked up onto 10th Avenue and took some photos and shot a little video. Below is one of those photos. The video is still being edited. Enjoy.

Urban Hiking Along The Mississippi River

Mister Viddy — Sat, 21 May 2011 22:28:52 +0000

I’m lucky enough to live mere blocks from the Mississippi River here in Minneapolis so I’ve been taking advantage of this fact to engage in a little urban hiking.

The Daily Shooter: Fujifilm FinePix JV100

In better days gone by I was lucky to have shot with both Nikon (my personal favorite) and Canon digital SLR’s but these days I make do with a decent point and shoot camera. Namely, the Fujifilm FinePix JV100 weighing in with 12 megapixels of goodness. It does not match the features and quality of a Nikon but it does the job and I can keep it in my jacket pocket so it is always there with me.

Portfolio Update: Portland, Oregon

In case you did not know this about me, I procrastinate. A lot. So I amazed even myself this morning when I sat down and added new images to my Portland Portfolio. The motivation bug just jumped up and bit me. So when you have a moment, check out my images of Portland, Oregon. Gracias.

Day 2: 4-12-2010

We’ve all had those days, as represented in today’s self portrait. Stick your head in the bowl and flush. Yeah, that is pretty much a common occurrence these days. But I rise up from the tiled floor, brush myself off and soldier on.

Day 109: The Sky In Beaverton

Mister Viddy — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 04:02:21 +0000

I’m walking in Beaverton, which is something unusual to begin with and then I look up. I realize that the sky is filled with beautiful clouds. My Nikon is down in Disneyland, vacationing with my daughter so I turn to my trusty cellphone camera. I snapped a few shots of the awesome clouds and then I enter Winco and buy some take and bake pizzas and some beer and then I walk home. The moral of the story, keep your head held high or you’ll miss great things in life. Scooby Dooooooo!!!!!

These Things That I Have Seen

Mister Viddy — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 17:07:29 +0000

I woke up this morning and peeked out the bedroom window and was greeted by a brisk, sunny landscape. Granted, the landscape included a view of the trailer park behind my apartment complex but still, it was gorgeous. The ride into work was chilly but enjoyable and it got me to reminiscing about my days back in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Mornings on the high desert are just like this, chilly and sunny with clear skies as far as you can see.

Another random item is this. Portland keeps getting all this recognition as being a bike friendly city yet I find it to be one of the more hostile places to ride a bike. Albuquerque was downright hospitable and safe.

Dig it. I’m losing focus now but just remember, do not discount Albuquerque when it comes to bike friendly places in the United States. And for the record, I love Oregon.

A New Photographic Series – The Faux Polaroid Gallery Is Open

Mister Viddy — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:50:02 +0000

I’ve been in a photographic funk for a while now but I have finally stumbled across the inspiration I needed to get me motivated and back to work doing photography. I am creating a new series of digital photographs that have been modified with software filters to give them the appearance of Polaroid photos. The gallery will include a mix of new images as well as some archived digital images and I would appreciate any feedback that you have. Again, these are not actual Polaroid images.

The Crossroads

Mister Viddy — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 03:16:06 +0000

There it was, a defining moment in life when an individual looks within themselves and realizes, this is not it. Maybe you understand and maybe you don’t. This would not be the first time in my life that I was sitting at the crossroads, but unlike the great Robert Johnson, I have no intentions of making a deal with the Devil. Let us just say that I am once again looking forward to the next phase of my adventure called life.
