It has 10X Zoom And 12.1MP!

Tried as I might I couldn’t fall asleep. There’s this thing bothering me, eating at me, it’s your complete inability to understand how to buy a camera.
Seeing as how I didn’t get much in the way of “Thank you Ben you’re the best!” after my last photography related write up I figured it must just [...]

Owl City and my 15 Seconds of Pure Fame

People have been asking what happened with my photograph and Owl City. I’ve been fairly tight lipped about the whole thing. Any fame I received from this has come and gone. Now that’s settled and I’m paid I’ll go ahead and give the story as best I can without Owl City or Universal Motown Republic [...]

You Take Horrible Photos

If the title describes you, read on. To some, a lot of these tips will feel very obvious and repetitive from any photography material you may have read. Most of this geared towards shooting people and the main audience I’m looking to here is actually the point-and-shoot-I-don’t-know-anything crowd. With one small exception, shutter speed, I’m [...]

Reading is Totally Overrated

On a lot of occasions I’ve heard someone say “Yeah I really need to read more.” My response to this has never been much more than “ah okay” but that has now changed to “No you don’t.”
Regardless of the hundreds of scientific studies that most likely will say “WHAT?!” to this, reading a book does [...]

Resteraunt

If I were the U.S. Government (or a lot of other governments for that matter) I can’t think of one company I’d rather have fall into financial downturn and be deemed “too big” to fail more than Google. Sure due to their infrastructure would cost billions in tax payer dollars to maintain but man, wouldn’t [...]

I Like to Type

At first my thinking was “I Like  to Write” but that’s not entirely true. More than anything I just like typing fast. It has a rhythmic relaxing sensation. If you can’t type fast you wouldn’t understand. The best is when the sentences and words flow from left to right down the keyboard, that’s my favorite. [...]

Free Stuff

Pretty sure I’ve never heard someone say “Let me give you a little bit of free advice” followed by something that didn’t irritate me. A lot of folks like free things. I saw the “NO WE WILL NOT PAY $3.99 A MONTH TO USE FACEBOOK” group (which by the way was just a rumor) with [...]

Three Great Ideas

I feel like a genius, great ideas keep coming to me too fast to even write a single one down. I have three right now.
Green Corn
As I was laying around hating myself for deciding to get my money’s worth at all you can drink 10-2 saturday night the topic of corn came up. I view [...]

Here It Goes Again

Right around the time you’re giving up on that New Years resolution…

Ben Eubank – Add as Friend

I should be writing about Day 2 in Atlanta right now but that’s very long, time consuming, and I just feel the need to rant about Facebook a little.
For the most part Facebook isn’t so bad. I get obliterated, people take pictures of me, it goes on my page for all my coworkers to see. [...]
