My Nephews

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…

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 brain. [...]

Frogger

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 [...]

unexplained phenomenon

Why is there a UFO abducting the Google Logo?

Does this coincide with the release of the District 9 Movie?
Is google buying Twitter?
Or, Is someone just having fun because of the full moon?

My first thought for this unexplained phenomenon was that Google was selling search terms for movies. I mean how easy would it be for [...]

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.

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, which [...]

When we moved into the BW neighborhood, all our neighbors told us there are two really great things that happen here – the pool is the place to meet new people (I can’t wait until it opens for the summer after the extensive remodel), and that the 4th of July parade is something that can’t [...]

Squarespace is a great company that “powers tens of thousands of sophisticated websites for businesses, bloggers, and professionals worldwide”. What’s so amazing is that without any knowledge of [...]

the best website on the internet

I’m running a little experiment here. The other day I was reading some Madcox archives, and then noticed that he titles his site: thebestpageintheuniverse. Which got me to thinking – who has the ”The Best Website on the Internet“. So I googled it, and guess what, he does. Be aware if you click on his link [...]
