I hate that I’m a planner, but I’m a planner. I realized the other day that if I wanted to take a trip to Colorado in September, I better make a plan. So I started to look at dates and realized that I really don’t have any extra weekends, with the exception of Labor Day. [...]

Complimenting Photography
July 29th, 2009 · No Comments · Photography
I’m going to be honest here. It is so irritating that people compliment my photos by saying, “Wow, you have quite a camera!” or “What kind of camera do you have?” I refuse to acknowledge statements about my equipment as compliments, because they’re actually compliments for Nikon or another manufacturer, and I wasn’t involved with [...]

I’m in Modern Bride!
July 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · In Print, Nature & Landscapes
I was so excited to find out that one of my pictures from California was featured in the latest Modern Bride magazine. It’s the lower image on the left side below. The article is on the 50 best places to honeymoon, and my pictures represents California! (Which should be higher than #18, if you ask [...]

Lynn & Justin’s Family
July 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Engagement, Mi Familia, Portraits
My sister-in-law has been my sister-in-law for such a long time now that I consider her family to be my family, even though I rarely get to see them. But I was thrilled to get to visit with my sister-in-law’s sister and her boys and her fiancee earlier this summer, in preparation for the big [...]

A New Baby Brother
July 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Mi Familia, Portraits
I’ve been shooting Bethany and her family since she was born, and now I can say that for her new baby brother Owen as well! Welcome Owen! His dark eyes just kill me. He didn’t show them off too willingly during this session, at which he was only about two weeks old. He was much [...]

Clocks That Die
July 20th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Pointless Updates
Is it ironic that not long after this rant, my alarm clock stopped working? Probably not, really, but it is quite the coincidence. I used my iPhone for a few nights, but went out yesterday and bought some crazy thing at Best Buy that has dual alarms and plays from my iPod and churns butter [...]

Last Weekend; TIBTIL
July 20th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Photography, Rants/Raves, What I Did Last Weekend
Good lord, we had some spectacular July weather in these parts over the weekend. It was sunny but cool and comfortable. Of course, that meant that my ridiculously negative Facebook friends just had to complain about it being too cold to swim, but there is just no pleasing some people. I mean, it was a [...]

California Trip Slideshow
July 17th, 2009 · No Comments · Jeff City Photo Club, Nature & Landscapes
I have been woefully negligent towards this blog! It’s very sad to see, and I’m really going to rectify this mistake in the next few weeks. First up, a long-overdue video slideshow from my trip to California in spring 2008. I put this together for a meeting of the Jeff City Photo Club in May, [...]

How I Am: Disorganized, Living Alone, Giant Nerd
July 17th, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Rants/Raves, Television
I refuse to be swayed by the disillusionment that seems to be sweeping parts of the uber-left wing of the Democratic Party (especially my gay comrades; like, shut up. I agree that DOMA and DADT should be handled, and soon, but pretending they are priorities above the health care, war, and economy disasters that are [...]

The End of the Television Nightmare, Part 3 or something
July 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Pointless Updates
Today, I hope, is the end of my three-month television nightmare. This is the worst thing to happen ever in the history of America! Sorry, I just finished Nathan Rabin’s The Big Rewind, which was pretty great and funny and interesting. And he uses that quote a lot (ironically, of course). My mother has expressed interest in [...]
