It is a busy first weekend in November coming up, and every weekend in November will involve some minor or major traveling. It is a busy month! Tomorrow I am assisting with a wedding with SilverBox Photographers, which is very exciting because they are EXCELLENT. I am going to learn so much, but I also know [...]

Obama in the House!
October 30th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, News
Well, we did try. I’m currently watching Obama speak on stage at my campus in Columbia, live, on CNN. He’s less than three miles from my house. I could probably stake out the road to the airport (there’s only one) and see his motorcade if I got up and went out to do it. But I [...]

An Ode to Flannel Sheets and Garages
October 29th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, News
It has been cold this week, with frosts and freezes each morning, and that is why today I have reason to be grateful for two of the luxuries in my life: flannel sheets and garages. I use flannel sheets from fall through spring, and they are delicious. Cotton sheets are cool to the touch and [...]

Update: Hold That Hug!
October 28th, 2008 · No Comments · Events
I posted earlier about the Hold That Hug event, but there’s a new addition to the site- a really touching slideshow of photos from all of the photographers at the event. Many are mine! It’s pretty nice to watch with the music on, if you tend to turn the sound off. Give it a try! [...]

Holga: First Roll of Film
October 27th, 2008 · No Comments · My Family
I bought a red Holga toy camera a few weeks ago, and it’s fun to be playing with film! I took it to the Lake of the Ozarks for a family weekend. The fun part of Holga cameras are the happy accidents that result, and my first roll was complete with some of those! I [...]

It was a nice weekend…
October 27th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering
Hard freeze coming tonight, yet still the office air conditioner is on. Why? Why is this so? Can anyone, anyone explain this to me? I’m going to start wearing hose under all of my pants just as insulation. And it’s not even November. It’s not even November! It’s the last week of October! And yesterday was [...]

Homecoming and Halloween, Plus My Dog is Currently Fighting the Good Fight Against the Evil Roofers
October 24th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Photography
Woo-hoo! My roof is getting torn up as I write this, and I hope there’s a new one on by the end of the day. My hopes might be stymied by more rain, which it looks like we might get a little later. I assume the roof guys know what they’re doing, though. New roof, [...]

Way Overdue: Fourth of July Family Reunion
October 23rd, 2008 · No Comments · My Family
It’s been such a photo-intensive spring, summer, and fall that I only recently got around to post-processing photos from my family’s Fourth of July Reunion! It seems pretty crazy to be looking at red, white, and blue, shorts and tank tops with the temperature hovering in the mid-fifties and a possible frost coming soon. But [...]

Family Fun Weekend Fun
October 20th, 2008 · No Comments · Mi Familia, Pointless Updates, Travel
Well, for all my huffing and puffing about Fred’s Hotel: Now With Color TV, the weekend was great. My whole family came down and the weather was perfect, and generally we had a nice time. Except for that loss by Missouri on Saturday night. It was pretty painful to watch that go down. Color TV [...]

Hold That Hug! Photography Event
October 17th, 2008 · No Comments · Events
Last weekend, I was excited to be a part of the Hold That Hug photography event at Stewart Park in Columbia, Missouri. The event was held in memory of Columbia photographer (and wife and mother) Sarah E.M. Becking, who died of cancer this summer. Although Sarah Becking photographed her children, there weren’t very many photos of [...]
