Last week I discussed the best kind of camera to use in events like weddings and parties, and I recommended using the Fuji Instax Mini 8. I realized that it might not be the best idea to tell people to use a camera that I haven’t exhaustively vetted previously, so I got a hold of […]
Read More...New Short Play: Santa Shock
For those of you unfamiliar with these here parts, I regularly put up short plays and scripts on my other site Dungheap.net for people to use for free. The Dungheap is a rather eclectic collection of the floatsam that occurs when I’m just writing for the sake of writing or to recharge my batteries between […]
Read More...Photo Galleries are back up!
The last big missing piece of the site after the update is back online! You can now find all my old photo collections on the photo gallery page. I’ll be posting some new gallery stuff soon, but feel free to take a look around. I suggest starting out with my Portfolio, Heaven, and the Disposables.
Read More...I’m in love with a mechanical keyboard
Maximum PC magazine is dangerous. To paraphrase Calvin and Hobbes, I saw a bunch of products in a magazine that I didn’t know existed, but now desperately need.

Dan’s Top Ten Tips for Growing Up Hard of Hearing is an article that I wrote nearly a year ago, but until now, really didn’t have anywhere to put online. I passed it around to a few audiologists and hard of hearing people, but now it has a home on my site. Enjoy! Speaking of […]
Read More...Welcome to the new DanFinnen.com
Welcome to DanFinnen.com 3.0! This site started many years ago as a flat personal webpage that looked like garbage (too much red!) When I graduated from college in 2011, I tentatively started adding articles and reviews about photography, which quickly expanded in popularity and became the reason 99% of people came to the site. The […]
Read More...Last night I saw ‘Trevor’ and remembered that I actually like theater
With any form of art, it’s easy to get burned out by a stream of mediocrity. My former roommate and I had been on a mission to watch theater every week, and we went on a solid five week streak of shows that we could barely sit though. It was enough to make us question […]
