It’s getting darker earlier every day, which means that by the time I’m thinking, “oh, I need to do a 365 photo today!”, it’s already dark outside. So I’ve been defaulting to pictures of my house. (Inspired by the vignettes over at Apartment Therapy.) All of these indoor shots have been set up with Strobist-style [...]

Beauty and Cynicism and Photography
October 27th, 2009 · No Comments · Photography, What I Did Last Weekend
Unfortunately, no magic happened at the Homecoming game, though it was the prettiest fall day in weeks. You could feel the energy in the air anyway, the hope of an unlikely victory. I even drove by the stadium a couple of times in the morning to see how the tailgate-setups were coming along. I love [...]

Cold Weather and the Media I Consume
October 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · Books, Movies, Music, Television
It has been rainy and chilly for the past couple of days, but it is supposed to be warmer and sunny this weekend. My fall clothes have been getting a workout, including a new pair of knee-high boots that I bought a few weeks ago. I just love them. I’ve been wearing them at least [...]

365 Project: Bad Weather
October 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · 365
The third in a continuing series where I post pictures from my 365 project. 365-10: I was down in Jeff City on Tuesday for photo club, and I took a few night shots around the capitol building on my way home. This is a 25-second exposure, which means the shutter was open for 25 seconds [...]

365 Project: My Dog and Branson
October 21st, 2009 · No Comments · 365, Jeff City Photo Club
The second in a continuing series where I post pictures from my 365 project. 365-5: This is my dog, Martha, doing her watchdog routine in the backyard. It was a cloudy night so I used a little bit of flash to light her. I think I’m finally starting to get the hang of the canted [...]

Home from Branson and Busy Busy
October 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Ongoing Projects, Travel, What I Did Last Weekend
It has been a busy week, but then it is always busy getting back to business when you’re out of town, isn’t it? I feel like I have a stack of things to do, but I am getting through things. One of the items on the list is posting to all the blogs. I put [...]

Wedding with Silver Box: Andrea & JC
October 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Weddings
I shot this wedding with Kim of Silver Box Photographers a few weeks ago, and the pictures are up at the blog. I even got a shout-out on a couple of dance photos that turned out pretty well. Click on the image or click here to see the blog post, or take a look at [...]

Off to Branson
October 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Mi Familia, Travel
I am looking forward to a fun weekend with my family in Branson, Missouri! We leave tomorrow and we’re staying at some huge vacation rental, and the plan is mostly: go-carts, mini-golf, board games, junk food, football game, outlet mall shopping, and an IMAX movie. With the exception of the IMAX movie, it’s pretty much [...]

My 365 Project
October 15th, 2009 · No Comments · 365, Nature & Landscapes
Followers of my photo blog might not know it, but I’m a bit of a goal-setter. It makes me feel productive. I have shot several weddings, engagements, and families this year (and might do some more before the year is out), but I have shot very little for myself. And that’s disappointing because the royalties [...]

New Goals, OK Weekends
October 12th, 2009 · No Comments · Photography, What I Did Last Weekend
Aha! Another goal for myself (in the continuing thought process that setting and achieving goals for myself somehow gives my life more purpose)! There’s this project on Flickr where people take pictures every day for a year; it’s called the 365 Project. There are several of them- some of them just for self portraits (which [...]
