I have been writing on the web since 2000. I am a christian , a photographer, an occasional poet, a recovering dreamer, an occasional philosopher, a software developer, an autodidact, and I resemble the INFP personality type.
There is something incongruent about the sky being darker than the subject. I like the fact that in B&W photography, you can take and darken the sky till its almost black and still leave your subject at the correct exposure.

I wish we would build more buildings that have features like these. There just isn’t enough truly beautiful architecture. S Grand Blvd and Vista Ave, St Louis, MO 63110
At the bottom of this statue are the words, "Sicut In Coelo Et In Terra" in Latin which mean "As in Heaven, so also in Earth". Its a quote from the Lords Prayer. I have a verticle panorama of this figure, which I will post tomorrow.

Of all the architectural styles, I like the Gothic style best. They built things so tall, thin and intricate. Church spires and crosses in this style have an elegance second to none.

In an effort to encourage the coding of a bible reference object (see previous post on my bible app), I though I would post some specifications in a clearer format than I had previously, along with some example inputs and outputs. Feel free to comment in the comments section, and if you build one, let me know, I would be more than happy to host it here with proper attribution of course. If we used a GPL type system, the library could become very robust. Thanks!Bible Parsing Object Definition:Input: StringOutput: Object with attributes (book, bookname, chapter, startverse, endverse, [error])Notes:Reference: "Matthew"Returns:…
I love this photo. I like the color version even better. But the way the cross stands out against the clouds, the Gothic architecture, it all gives the impression of some major event about to occur.

This photo was taken on an abandoned overpass that used to connect South Spring Avenue over the train tracks. I like the composition, especially the way the wire adds a curved element in an otherwise straight geometrical scene. I added vignetting to this photo, and I think, along with the shorter depth of field, that it adds to the image. I can’t put into words what the image expresses though, perhaps you can help?S Spring Ave and Gratiot St, St Louis, MO 63110
I updated the Bible Lookup with Strongs. The Hebrew dictionary is now online, and the reference parsing is less brittle, but not a whole lot less brittle. Hey, anyone interested in codeing a Javascript 1.5 Bible Reference Parsing library?If so, here is what it should do. It should take a string as an input, and return an object with four properties, Book, Chapter, Start Verse, End Verse.Things to consider:What to do when they don’t enter a chapter, or don’t enter a verse, or don’t enter a verse range. In each case, the object should figure out the verse range and…
At least I think its a turbine. It was big though, and interesting.

You don’t see that kind of sinage anymore. At some point, I should look up the historical significance of this building.

Its not near completed. Read the Caveat’s on the page. The url is www.walljm.com/bible/. Tell me what you think, offer suggestions for improvement. All will be listened too, perhaps not all heeded, but at least listened too.Ok, its late. I hope I don’t miss the last train, otherwise its going to be a long walk home. :)

It’s Paulo’s 29th birthday. You should give him money! And help his kickstart the first day of the rest of his life.
The color version of yesterday’s image. I like this version better. The richness of the rust adds warmth to the photo.

How many times have you needed to throw something like, "Thou clouted dismal-dreaming mammet!" into the face of an enemy? Just to watch his expression, and the cloudy look of miscomprehension in his eyes when you say, "You are as rheumatic as two dry toasts.", but can’t find the right words, words like, "Sense sure you have, else could you not have motion; but sure that sense is apoplex’d." and "You are a shallow cowardly hind, and you lie.". Then wait no more, go to the Shakesperean Insulter and be blessed with a wealth of vitriol in the best English…
Stacked railroad ties found in a storage lot just off Chouteau Ave and South Grand Blvd. I liked the abstractness of the image and the way it uses vertical and horizontal lines.Chouteau Ave and S Grand Blvd, St Louis, MO 63110
Isn’t it about time some smart photoshop/programmer/photoblogger used the Photoshop SDK to build a Blog This! plugin that used the Atom API (or any number of the other blogging APIs). That way I could post photos straight from photoshop. And if the plugin would let you opt to have the Title, Description and other stuff pulled straight from the EXIF metadata, all the better. Heck, I would pay for something like that. Oh, and one more thing, if the plugin would also, when it grabbed stuff from metadata, allow me to specify a post date, that would be like icing…
