So I’ve been holding out on all my good content pretending I’m too busy.  Well, I actually am too busy, but never too busy to take some more dope photos. I was lucky enough at Christmas this year to get a Sigma 8-16 lens for my Canon T2i, and while I’ve had limited time to [...]

About Blimpy

This site is the story of a man (Blimpy Backgammon) from Calgary AB, Canada who made the electrifying realization that there’s more to life than working for the man or owning a condo.
