Picture This: A Bus, a Boy, and His Camera

Hello World! Welcome to my first ever non-pictorial blog post. For me, the past six weeks have moved in frames per day. As I have taken over 10,000 photos, that’s around a quarter of a thousand frames per day and 1 picture per mile. Whoa. According to the photographer’s greatest adage, that also equates to over 100,000 words. I’m surprised I don’t have writer’s cramp.

Though many days have passed without a written blog post from me, that does not mean I am not thinking important things. For example: Is every picture worth a thousand words? Or are some pictures worth 563, while others are worth over a million? Are we talking one syllable words? Coherent sentences? Correct grammar? How many words are my pictures worth? What’s the mean, mode, and median? At this point, these questions are unanswered, but don’t worry, I will have them chi-squished by Tucson. Rather than verbally explaining my problem-solving approach, I will let a photo do the talking:



Singing in the rain. 1,230 words, avg. of 2.4 syllables per word.

P.S. Actually, it’s the Foundation’s camera. I’ll give it back, I swear.
