It’s summertime. A time to be with friends and family, enjoy a cold beer or soda, and talk about life and everything. And with everything going on in the world these days, we need to do a lot more of that. We need to talk more, be with each other more, and get out from…… Continue reading A Tall Cold Beer

The Lonely Robot Photographer
The lonely robot photographer sits under a street light waiting for the sun to rise over the horizon. This is another in a series of fun shots of the little robot that travels with me on my photographic journeys. You could call him my mascot or perhaps my good luck charm. The little guy is also…… Continue reading The Lonely Robot Photographer
Tequila for Cinco de Mayo
How about a shot of tequila for Cinco de Mayo? Now I will fully admit I don’t celebrate the 5th of May. Certainly, I’ve been with friends and had a beer or two or a shot, but I don’t go out with the express purpose of observing the day. Heck, I hardly go out at all…… Continue reading Tequila for Cinco de Mayo
A Show of Hands
Ok, a show of hands: who thought I would actually get this far in my photo a day project? Anyone? Well, my hand is half raised. I’ve had my doubts that I would finish many times during the journey. Of course, there is a long way to go, but I’m committed! Only 168 days to…… Continue reading A Show of Hands
Crazy Happy Fun Stuff
Experimentation with new techniques, gear, lighting, angles, and subjects can be crazy fun. When the craziness (I’m talkin’ ’bout me) is there at the start, the excitement is doubled. This expression is combination of happy fun and the “oh man, I don’t have any time and I need a shot since I’ll be away from the…… Continue reading Crazy Happy Fun Stuff
Now I Know My ABCs
While watching my son play with an old vintage Fisher-Price school house, I noticed this upside down alphabet letter tray. It was completely emptied, of course, with the magnetic letters spread everywhere across the floor. The ABCs were reversed – the other side is where the letters normally sit – but I thought it would make…… Continue reading Now I Know My ABCs
The All-American Burger
The All-American burger. A fresh bun. Juicy 100% beef. Look closer. It’s made of plastic. And just so you know, this is not intended as commentary about the state of the fast food industry. Although, I’ll admit, it’s not far off from the way I feel about it. But that is for someone else’s blog. This one is about…… Continue reading The All-American Burger
Rubber Ducky
“Rubber Ducky, you’re the one, You make bath time lots of fun, Rubber Ducky, I’m awfully fond of you;” –Ernie from Sesame Street For today, I wanted to create an image with colors associated with spring and make something fun and whimsical. With the duck as the subject, I was inspired both by comic…… Continue reading Rubber Ducky
The Crazy Photographer at Work
This shot involves one camera, one tripod, a cell phone light, one set of extension tubes, two lenses and one crazy photographer (me). In between 3D animation jobs and a quick trip out to the in-laws, I set my Nikon D700 with my 50mm 1.8 and extension tubes up on my tripod. The subject…… Continue reading The Crazy Photographer at Work
Night Falls on the Lonely Robot
After a long, long day of searching the streets in vain, the lonely little robot finds a quiet spot on a hill above the din of the city where he can sit and rest. He is alone and sad and he wonders if he will ever find her again. And as night fall around him, from somewhere far…… Continue reading Night Falls on the Lonely Robot
Magic Screen Duet
The Ohio Art Etch A Sketch with the “magic screen”. First sold in the 1960s, I believe, it was (and still should be) in just about every kid’s toy box. It was hours of fun, turning the knobs left and right, tongue stuck out in extreme concentration, trying so hard to create a masterpiece.…… Continue reading Magic Screen Duet
Day 123 – Binary
“There are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don’t.” — Unknown I think the message says it all! 
Day 123 of 365.
