Wow! I am a piss-poor blogger, or at least I was last week. No commentary from me on random subjects? How ever did you survive? The Thanksgiving lunch at work last week went well (with my oversight!), and I finally ordered holiday cards yesterday. I have not bought one Christmas present for anyone, with the [...]

365 Project: Whole Lotta Photos
November 18th, 2009 · No Comments · 365
I haven’t quit my 365 Project! But I can guess that you would have thought so, because it took me several days to upload some pictures from last week, and it’s been almost two weeks since I posted to this blog. I’ve been diligently taking a picture every single day. I’ve pretty much exhausted the [...]

I Loved That Movie So Much
November 13th, 2009 · No Comments · Movies
I loved A Serious Man. I loved it, loved it, loved it. I just loved it. I have such respect for the Coen Brothers. It’s so completely obvious how much work is put into every single shot, which are always exactly perfectly framed and exactly perfectly composed and then edited together with such precision. They [...]

Fact
November 12th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Endless Blathering
Last week, my neighbors put up their outdoor Christmas lights and I started to see Christmas candy in the stores and Christmas displays in downtown windows, and internally I yelled “No!” and my mind tried to shut it all out. This week, I saw Candy Cane Hershey Kisses in the stores and, for some reason, [...]

To Chicago and Home Again, and It’s Dark
November 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Pointless Updates
Wow, I haven’t written in a long time! Well, I used to go much longer between posts, but ever since I started the retro blog, I’ve been updating one of my blogs every couple of days or so, so I feel very prolific. But that’s only if you read all of them. Halloween seems like [...]

365 Project: Time Change Means Lazy Pictures
November 5th, 2009 · No Comments · 365
So the time changed last weekend, and now it’s nearly dark when I leave work at night. I have to start bringing my camera every day and taking pictures before I get to work, or on lunch breaks. 19/365: I liked the way the multi-colored leaves looked in the gutter. 20/365: This is a neighbor [...]

Wedding with Silver Box: Trisha & Luke
November 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · Weddings
Kim at Silver Box just posted the pictures from Trisha & Luke’s October wedding. This was probably the last wedding I will shoot during this wedding season, and the pictures turned out lovely. You would never guess how chilly it was that day! The slideshow is also up! The song is a nice cover version [...]

How Was Your Halloween, Hon?
November 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Holidays, What I Did Last Weekend
For the past few years on Halloween, I’ve posted that picture of my dog in a pumpkin costume, but this year I’ll post a picture of myself in costume. I haven’t dressed up in years, but I decided to do it this year, just for the fun of it. I was all set to dress [...]

Bartow Sisters and Families
November 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Mi Familia, Portraits
A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted (on Facebook, of course!) by a friend from high school who lives in Columbia near me. Her two sisters and their families were coming into town for the weekend, and she wondered if I would take some pictures of all of them together. What did I say? [...]
