020/366: Scratch Work [Uncertain Principles]


I got a little bit of time today to play with the new lens, which included a couple of nice shots of the kids. I’m trying not to have this be “photo of the kids of the day,” though, so here’s a different shot making use of the limited depth of field of the f/2.8 lens:

Scratch paper with calculations for a football physics post at Forbes.

That’s the half-sheet (it’s the back of a draft of a book proposal, if you must know) of projectile motion calculations that I scribbled down while writing this Forbes post about the dumb football commentary “he caught the ball at its highest point”. Which is how I distracted myself from my Giants losing another game that they really should’ve won.

And yes, I really do print out drafts of things when I need to proofread them. And I really do work out calculations with pen and paper first. In both cases, it’s how I learned, and still the process I’m most comfortable with.
