My regular blog readers know I had to take a trip back to California last month. While I was there I got to spend exactly 17 hours with my brother, his fianceé, and my two nephews. Of course I brought my camera, and of course I took some photos… Share this post on Twitter

Grandma was old. Really old.  From as long as I can remember she was old.  She was in 1906 in San Francisco, she was already in her mid 60′s when my parents had me.  Of course I don’t remember my first memory of her – stuff from that long ago is a jumble in my [...]

If you haven’t noticed, one of my ongoing projects with this blog is as a platform for testing different kinds of film. Each film post is tagged with the kind of camera I used and the different film, too. Today’s shot was taken with my Leica, and some Fuji Press 1600. It’s a bit grainy, [...]

Now that we have had Riley for three weeks, and he is becoming used to our home, I’ve begun to turn him on to some basic obedience training. The first step is to get him to Love treats. As you can see from the picture, that’s the easy part. Share this post on Twitter

Ok, so I’ve made a bunch of promises to a lot of people. I told my friends from the open house at Vista West Ranch that some shots would be up on my blog shortly, as I did with the ISES Austin, NEAWP, NACE summer games group. And then I shot a great wedding last [...]

… was how the insert read. Every time a new the Thing arrives, I get excited.  They always arrive in a simple brown cardboard box that’s sized to fit the contents – Triangle, tube, rectangle, and clearly stamped with red ink.  There’s no mistaking the branding.  I don’t really track when they will be coming, [...]
