They’ve been Swiffering the nation for some time with their sweet easy to use and quite efficient cleaning products. I’m a fan, I own almost all the swiffer products, I think they’re great. I am not a fan however of: A. the cost of the pads and the cleaning solution B. the waste the pads…

Baby brothers are the best! I have two of them, this is Forrest, the youngest. I think I was 19 or 20 in this picture, which would make him 11 or 12. We went with my dad to Souther Tool and ran around taking silly pictures of each other with random stuff we would find.…

I’m more excited for the holidays this year than I have ever been. I’m pretty sure the excitement started in July, yes, July. I’ve been doing a bit of Christmas shopping here and there.

Way back in my high school days I did a bit of video work, playing with the first edition of imovie and learning linear editing versus digital editing. In my college days I worked for a production company running camera, creating motion graphics and those sorts of things.

I’ve studied, I’ve taken oodles of classes. Though, it still shocks me that I call myself a photographer. It shocks me that people like my…

I’ve never understood the traditional guestbook, a small 5×7 book that a bunch of people sign. What do you do with that? I don’t imagine people look through it years later and say, “Look at Aunt Sue’s signature, OH the memories!” Its not something you’d set on your coffee table for guests to flip through.…

My vegetable gardens have been in a state of death for a while now. The lack of rain and extreme heat we’ve had in this area this summer have rendered them completely…well…dead. I got a total of four tomatoes off the nine plants I planted. It was sad. Well, while pulling out the dead plants…

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I’m not sure if my favor of the day stems from my love of playing dress up, or that my mom used to sew slash create the most elaborate and amazing halloween costumes. Yep that’s me and my mom. She turned my stroller into a lion cage too.…
