A Walk Around the Yard

March 6, 2011March 6, 2011 Matt Personal Updates, Photo Blog

When you live somewhere long enough and see the same scenery day after day, you sort of become numb to it. It no longer thrills you the way it did when you first moved in. That's sort of how I feel. Don't get me wrong, I love my house and its location, but it feels like I could…

Happy March

March 1, 2011 Matt Personal Updates

Wow, it's March already. Yesterday, it began to snow. Let's back up, all of last week, it snowed. We may have gotten a good combined foot of fresh, fluffy powder. We got a bit of a break over the weekend. Sunday it snowed a bit, but the accumulation wasn't siginificant. But yesterday, it began to snow. In the course of…

Website Update

February 24, 2011 Matt Personal Updates

If you're reading this on the website, you won't see much of a difference. But I just upgraded Wordpress to version 3.1 and upgraded the theme. The result is a better integration with the Gallery plugin. The galleries should now fit with the look of the site. Enjoy.

Moscowâ€™s Music Scene

February 24, 2011June 21, 2011 Matt All Things Moscow

I've been neglecting my duty to write here and update with my good fun. In part, I've been waiting for a nice epic hike or adventure to write about, but lately, either the weather has been crapping out on me, or I find myself busy with other priorities. So what have I been up to? In the lab, I've been…

Nostalgia

January 1, 2011March 27, 2011 Matt Personal Updates, Photo Blog

times square, originally uploaded by Matthew Singer. I'm going to start this post by sharing a few photos I shot on Kodak T-Max black and white film way back in 2001 during my freshman year of college. Film. Back then, my little school of 1600 had a darkroom that the photo club and art department shared. It was in the…

Winter Desires

December 29, 2010 Matt Personal Updates

I was in town today getting snow tires for Erin's Jeep, and when I'm in town, I often head over to Hyperspud to look at maps, books and gear that I can't afford. Today I was looking through the book Mountaineering: Freedom of the Hills put out by the aptly named Mountaineers Press. They put out some nice hiking guides…

Skiing

December 20, 2010December 21, 2010 Matt Travel Stories

I went skiing for the first time in over five years, and it felt like I never took a break. Erin and I went to Silver Mountain with Tyler, and Travis. Silver is the nearest ski area to Moscow and it's not that bad. When the entire area is open, it's got a vertical of 2200 feet, but we haven't…

Winter Arrives

November 23, 2010 Matt Photo Blog

So, today, Erin and I drove into Moscow to look at our snow removal options, but that ended up a fail since we left late and she had to get to work. So, I returned home with nothing new. The roads around here are plowed much differently than I expected. In Pennsylvania, the roads would be plowed down to the…

First Snow

November 22, 2010November 22, 2010 Matt Personal Updates

First Snow, originally uploaded by Matthew Singer. On Friday, I woke up to find a light layer of white on everything. At first, I thought it was a heavy frost, but when I put my glasses on, the truth was revealed. We had our first snowfall. It wasn't much, less than an inch, and by late afternoon, all was gone.…

New Books!

October 23, 2010 Matt Personal Updates

I've got two new books available for purchase. 2010: The Year of Change, Volume 1 is a collection of photographs and stories from the first half of the year. 2004-2007: A Portfolio from the Archives is a portfolio from my first four years out of college. This book is more of a photo portfolio rather than a personal album. 2004-2007…
