This day by the lake went too fast

Post 1

I spent the final week of August with my family—my parents Melanie and Federico and my sister Nicole and her fiancée Mark—at a small cabin on a lake in New Hampshire. As we do every year, we swam and read and cooked and ate and talked and laughed and played Mexican Train Dominoes. And, as [...]


Shadrach Kleinman Photographs

Post 2

I actually took my camera out of its case on Sunday at Kleinman—not to take photographs of Ultimate, mind you, but rather to snap a bunch of portraits of our squad that weekend. I think I’ll be sticking to such shots for as long as I’m only packing my 50mm 1.8 portrait lens. In truth, [...]

Photo Processing

Post 7
