Nowhere Farm is a place I’ve had pictures of in my mind for a long time, from the stories that have been shared by Linford Detweiler and Karin Bergquist of Over The Rhine. I’ve always pictured a beautiful piece of ground with flat land, black earth and a calming quiet that we’re in need of all too often. A place to walk, think and appreciate the small things in life under a big sky. In reality it’s a beautiful 18th c

On my last full night at SXSW I got to participate in a photo walk around Austin with renowned HDR photographer Trey Ratcliff. I’m not a photographer, though I’ve been enjoying learning as much as I can about it and shooting not only stills but also video with my DSLR (it’s also the primary method of documenting and creating the Utica Firefly projects).

Small Things from Ryan Miller on Vimeo. In April of 2011, I began a year-long photoblog project on this blog. “Small Things” captured a photo or thought each day, in an effort to document my 30th year. This video is the result of that project. You can also see the individual photos here.

The music is by an amazing singer songwriter named Madi Diaz. ‘Le

I just took a quick swing into and out of NYC, catching up with some great friends whom I haven’t seen in the better part of decade.  It was awesome to hang with Rachel, Micha, and Katha and one of the highlights was checking out the High Line in Manhattan. Last year attended The 99% Conference in NYC and one of the keynote speakers was Robert Hammond who (along with Joshua David) spearheaded the project. Rober

This evening I had the best cab driver ever, leaving the SXSW Interactive festival. Driving through the streets of Austin, he asked if we had ever heard the story behind the many moonlight towers that light up the city. What follows is HIS account of how the moonlight towers came into being, with links I found that have a more detailed account of the story and the history associated with them. Austin was home to the
