Guidance…

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray. — Rumi
This sums up where I am in my life right now in so many ways when it comes to photography. I had to make a note of it so I could find it [...]


Finding Happiness…

“Happiness is a butterfly, which, when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”
– Nathaniel Hawthorne


Isn’t She Lovely…

It is that time of year! Robyn has really knocked her out this time with a gorgeous design and the Fifth Annual Dress Contest has arrived! Think you (or your bride) wore the most beautiful wedding dress ever? Well, why don’t you enter?
I’ll be a judge again this year, and Blogomania is [...]


I Knew She Was the Best All Along…

Reading MSN’s “Weblog central” article, what will you see? A link to Jennifer’s blog. Heck, I knew she was the best all along - but I’m glad MSN came to their senses and realized it too.


300 Exposures…

My photos are online now for the 300 exposures in 30 days project! Some you may have seen before - but some are brand new!


Free Books!

It’s Banned Books week and you should support the Banned Books Project. I do. (Yeah, there isn’t a button on my sidebar … yet.) There are many books that I think are quite wonderful that are banned by others. I don’t think this is right. A responsible parent should monitor [...]


Never Question It…

Please, do not ever question the power of MovableType, especially when placed in the hands of people as talented as Kristine and her husband E. Why do I say this? Because Picture Yourself now has an online submission form that takes your pictures right in the MT, and from there all we have [...]


Portraits of Pedestrians…

Sometimes you come across a site that is just so … different - not necessarily in design, but in concept, presentation, and the complete package - that you just have to stop and look at everything there. I just had one of those moments when I visited Simon Hoegsberg’s “Private and Public” project site. [...]


Sometimes, It’s the Little Things…

Looking through traffic logs for the other site. There sure was a lot of traffic today. What? What’s this? Web Junkie - canada.com. Oh my! The site has been live for 24 hours and already it’s making news?!? Wow!
Yes, it’s the little things that make you happy! [...]


And the Curtain Rises…

After an amazing evening of hard work that was nothing but pure fun, I would like to present …
Picture Yourself
A ton of thanks goes out to Kristine for taking my design and turning it in to a reality in a matter of hours; to Jennifer for the future power behind the site, and to Rannie [...]


Night on the Street…

My latest entry for Rannie’s 100k Photocontest, category four, Night Vision.

You can almost feel how alive the street is, sense the music coming from the bars and clubs. Feel the passion.


Where Were You?

Like many others, I was originally planning to post this today - but I don’t know what this day will bring. I have a lot of thoughts swirling around my head. However, for now I wanted to write about my reflections on the events of 9/11/2001. Part of this is in [...]


Preparing…

In the days after 9/11, I don’t think any site affected me more than Michele’s. I’m in tears right now just thinking about it. I don’t even have to re-read her posts to recall the words. She put in to human terms what the TV couldn’t. I talked about her to [...]


End of Summer Voting…

If you haven’t done so already (or even if you have) you can head on over to Rannie’s site and vote in the 100k photo contests : end of summer category. He’s even created a nice page that displays all of the entries at once with the poll at the top to make voting [...]
