Happy Flying
Happy Flying! This little guy sure loves to soar. You can see joy in his eyes and the smile on his face. This photo was created as part of a new service I’m offering called Capturing Keepsakes. Think of it as portraits for a most cherished child’s toy or prized family heirloom. Head on…… Continue reading Happy Flying
Lite Brite
What happens when you introduce a 2 1/2 year old to a vintage Lite Brite? A joyful couple of hours of total fun. Add to that some really cool (and totally photographable) color abstracts. Introduced by Milton Bradley in 1967, this particular version is circa 1986. Now I just need to watch out for those long…… Continue reading Lite Brite
Five String Banjo
I’m adding a five string banjo to the list of instruments I’ve shot for this project. This one hangs on the wall at the Urban Ecology Center just down the road from our house where they have quite a collection of stringed instruments. Hanging next to it is also a guitar, a mandolin, and ukulele all hanging around…… Continue reading Five String Banjo
Superman and the Big Hill
To get to the best picnic spot in the park, little superman decided to walk up the big hill instead of fly. Of course, he also decided to roll down. Of all the shots I took over the Labor Day weekend, this is one of my favorites. My son, in his superman sweatshirt with…… Continue reading Superman and the Big Hill
Half My Marbles
I’ve lost half my marbles. (Only half?) Because I’m going crazy trying to come up with new ideas for this project. However, the end is near. In just 30 days, I will finish the 365 photo a day project. So I will push through and endeavor to create 30 more photographs in the next month. …… Continue reading Half My Marbles

Are you looking for art for your home or office or something to spice up your digital desktop? Most of the images from this project are available…… Continue reading Monkey See Monkey Do
Paint Brush of the Soul
“Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.” –Henry Ward Beecher The photography is by me, but the idea for this image courtesy of my wife with the paint supplied by my son. Day 327 of my 365 photo a day project. Are you looking for…… Continue reading Paint Brush of the Soul
Monkey Bars
The monkey bars, the swings, the slides, and the fire poles. My son visited all of them multiple times on this summer morning visit to the playground. It was quite warm and humid. So I was doing my best to stay relatively still and in whatever shade was available. However, with a two and a…… Continue reading Monkey Bars
Tunnel of Fun
How many times did my son climb up and down this tunnel of fun at the local church playground? Way too many to count. But I’m not complaining. I could sit and watch (and photograph!) him running, sliding, climbing, laughing, and playing all day and all night. For this shot, he stopped moving long enough…… Continue reading Tunnel of Fun
Cell Phone Crazy
Everybody’s gone cell phone crazy! Whether trying to catch imaginary creatures while ambulatory or blasting mad feathered fowl toward sinister swine, everyone has their head buried in their phone. While I’ll admit I have not been enticed to go outside looking for cartoon characters, I do play a fair amount of games. And I do spend quite a bit…… Continue reading Cell Phone Crazy
Go For a Spin
Anyone want to go for a spin? Normally, I would answer this question with a yes! However, at a neighborhood carnival, I would have to pass. I love watching the rides twist and turn with the flashing lights and glowing neon. But my inner ear, stomach, and I have an understanding – everything will be…… Continue reading Go For a Spin
