Photo Journal 1

Thought I’d get this photo journal thingie started with a couple of pics from my bikeride to work. Yes, there’s no picture of me today, but I’ve dyed my beard again for Canada Day. It’s a good excuse to get back into the old habit. I’ve been going plain (slightly bleached) since I started at this new job 6 months ago. Bah, enough of me, here’s some neat pics of my commute through downtown Waterloo. My camera snaps at 5 megapixels, so these files were originally huge, and I accidentally tried to upload these 2Mb images to my web server. I realized it was taking way too long for 15k images to upload, so cancelled out and found the web-friendly ones.
This is just outside of the downtown core of Waterloo, and the buildings in the distance run along King St. To my right would be Weber St. To my left, King.

If I turn around, there are these tracks which head towards Union. I know I shouldn’t be biking along here, but no one seems to mind. I’m just worried I’ll find a dead hobo on my morning route some day.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
