Off

Spent the better part of this morning walking along West San Carlos St., trying to find a camera store. I was thinking this would be the best time to pick up a new Sigma lens (a cute little Sigma Normal 30mm F/1.4) which normally runs over $400 at Henry’s in Waterloo. Walked something like 2 miles west of the hotel only to find said camera store was no longer there. I did find several auto-body repair shops, a couple of pornography stores, and a great little Ethiopian restaurant. It’s true that no one bothers to walk anywhere in San Jose, but there’s precious little in-between metropolitan centres.

I didn’t find the lens I was looking for, and instead settled on a much, much cheaper Canon EF 28mm F/2.8. Also, I picked up a cheap Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera. A classic.
Apparently they’re serving beer and wine at the opening of the convention, and there’s nothing worse than a bunch of drunk nerds (trust me on this one). There’s currently a party going on at the concourse level, and several people have moved into the bar/restaurant to watch the Cleveland-Boston game.
The hip, young, dynamic people from Google appear to be recruiting.

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.
