Reduced screen time

Blogging

We are in the middle of Ottawa’s bright and pleasant season, which precedes the stultifying heat season. As such, I am trying to reduce the amount of time I spent in front of computers. Keeping it at nine hours a day or so seems like an OK goal, though it may involve substantially diminished blogging activities.

Still, the ideas I come up with might be more refined with the benefit of time, and I might make some headway against my insane backlog of reading. Oh, and I might finally find a new job.

Photography

Regardless of whether I find time to write or not, I will keep providing photos of the day. Regarding photography, I was wondering if anyone in Ottawa would be interested in buying a framed print of mine. The prints would be 10″ by 15″ and would cost $75 framed. I could probably mail prints to people outside Ottawa, at an additional cost.

I could make very high quality prints at that size of pretty much any photo in my Flickr portfolio. I could also seek out unpublished prints of particular subjects, upon request.

I am also increasingly well-equipped to take studio-type portraits, so if anybody needs some and is willing to play the role of lighting guinea pig, they should let me know.

In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.
