Outside, droplets of rain fall into puddles that reflect the tires of pickup trucks. There are fourteen units and six guests, all lone males, except for me. I am a lone female. Outside, the Sunrise Highway howls and sprays as weekenders hightail back to… Thu, Jan 08 2015 Hearing Aid Selfie Oodles of Charm I once knew a woman who wrote a great blog that was part of the “fatosphere,” the internet community of bloggers who challenge status quo perceptions of fat people and encourage each other to accept their bodies as they are…no easy task in this country. A reader asked her for tips on how to get used to looking… Thu, Jan 08 2015 In the Mood Oodles of Charm Lots of rain, many gray days. Brooklyn is dissolved asunder. I’ve been locked away most of the week finishing up an academic paper, with two others, that will hopefully be accepted by an esteemed journal. This is unlikely…but the dregs of hope linger.

My goal was to minimize the blur of motion while retaining a rich, gray landscape with deep black shadows. But judging light sensitivity against shutter speed in an instance is no joke. Fifty-seven photos taken… Sun, Apr 27 2014 Tasha in Action Oodles of Charm On today’s walk, I wanted to work on getting some high-speed shots of Tasha doing what she does best: jumping.

When I checked them out with my dog on our walk, dusk was honing in. My ISO here is 800 with shutter speed of 1/125 to compensate for the low light. I kept the F-stop at 3.5 and I think this has something… Fri, Apr 25 2014 Spring in Crown Heights Oodles of Charm Through some luck, I recently acquired a Canon Rebel EOS T3 SLR camera. Dog walks have become workshops for black and white photography. I’ve dumped hundreds of photos trying to figure out the perfect combination of ISO, F-STOP, shutter speed and Photoshop to tune contrast and grayscale to achieve the effect of…what, exactly? Nostalgia probably.… Thu, Apr 24 2014 dead horse bay Oodles of Charm I took this photo back in November of 2013, when a friend came to visit us from Kansas City. An urban explorer who regularly trespasses into abandon buildings, the only place in all of NYC she was really hot too see was Dead Horse Bay, a sandy cove on the way to Rockaway Beach infamously littered… Thu, Jan 30 2014 shrine Oodles of Charm This is what I have been looking at for days and days and days. This lamp. This stuffed deer. This twelve year old copy of “Random House Word Menu.” My journal, the last twenty pages empty. I’ve written nothing of note for months, but man, how I’ve written, endlessly, uselessly; words and phrases that only… Thu, Jan 30 2014 at a bar without a poem Oodles of Charm I went to a staged reading with my friend A. Afterwards, we drank at Houndstooth Pub with the playwright, his wife, and all the actors. It was loud in the bar and all I could hear was my self-esteem crumbling before flashing smiles and unheard jokes. I impaled a few conversations with an ill-timed interjections… Thu, Jan 30 2014 harvest Oodles of Charm Harvest moon. That happened last month, didn’t it? Everybody was shrieking about it on the social network. They posted their pixellated odes and emoted their sensory overloads (overodes?). I missed it. I was even out on my balcony that night and still missed it. I couldn’t be bothered to strain my neck around the corner […] Sun, Jul 07 2013 still a shithole at the end of the world, but maybe not... Oodles of Charm I am in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, a shithole town at the end of the world that contains the remnants of my racist family. My father picked me up at the airport, alone, as usual, and at the gate, slumped like a small, sad bear that had fallen into a bucket of paint the color of […] Wed, Jul 03 2013 use Oodles of Charm I would like to be very tall so I can get things off the high shelf and be of some use. Tue, Jun 11 2013 bogota: last wednesday Oodles of Charm It’s nearly a year later since my last post. I’ve opted to journal by hand since doing so in Ghana. My thoughts have been locked up in a black book covered in punk rock stickers because I am thirty-five years old going on fifteen. But now I’m alone in a hotel room in Bogota, with […] Tue, Jun 11 2013 ghana: last night Oodles of Charm It is my last evening in Ghana and I write to apologize for not writing about Ghana. Or, rather, not blogging about Ghana. Writing, I’ve been doing furiously, by hand, in a Moleskine notebook thickened by humidity into something the consistency of slightly damp, hastily folded washcloth. I’ll play catch up eventually, but rest assured: [...] Sun, Jul 29 2012 trotro Oodles of Charm Since I've arrived in Ghana, I've been obsessing over my first ride in a trotro . Trotros are privately owned minibuses that travel in a fixed path at a fixed rate, although what that fixed path or fixed rate is you only know by living here long enough. There are no schedules, no listing of stops, no website. [...] Mon, Jun 25 2012 arrival in ghana Oodles of Charm I arrive in Ghana. On the plane, I could see the Sahara Desert changing shape underneath the face of the woman in the window seat. We spill out on the tarmac. Darkness, stars, and the dull outline of palm trees; men in flourescent vests waving glo-sticks. The air feels like Arkansas. Inside sweaty room, women [...] Sat, Jun 09 2012 classon avenue Oodles of Charm We walk at about 10pm or so, the dog and I. My hearing aid is off but I feel a tense energy. The people on the street are alert – all looking in one direction – and there are more of them than usual. Ambulances are rolling down Classon Avenue. I can't hear them but I know what they [...] Wed, May 23 2012 central park Oodles of Charm At Midnight, Tasha and I went to Central Park where leash laws are not recognized from 9am to 9pm. As we walk, I can feel her ears perk, her movements become expectant. When she is certain of where we are going, she starts to pull, shrinking only from the blaze of headlights as we pass [...] Sat, Dec 31 2011 occupy occupy occupy Oodles of Charm Alexis and I, a pair of petite, pony-tailed brunettes, sit on the steps of Zuccotti Park and watch. This is a Thursday about 4pm and I can only fit two hours of Occupying into my schedule, much to both of our chagrin. Behind us is “the red thing,” as the Occupiers call it, the public [...] Mon, Oct 17 2011 dirt
Oodles of Charm Have you heard a guitar crying? Of course you have; this happened a lot in the 70′s. Have you heard a guitar crying funkily? Have you shook your ass to a depressed guitar? No? You should listen to Iggy and the Stooges play ‘Dirt.' Dealt with a lot of internal bullshit yesterday thanks to that [...] Mon, Aug 08 2011 |
