  • Grunge [photos 2012]

    I noticed an entire brick wall just around the corner from my work that would make a great grunge background with old bricks and rust. I have seen a lot of images for sale as photoshop-ready web design backgrounds that are similar. I will definitely go back to this spot in the future to experiment…

  • Ben Thanh Market Doll [photos 2012]

    We’re having a string of gray and uninspiring winter days in Tennessee so I again turned indoors for today’s photo. This is a doll/purse that I got for Savannah from the Ben Thanh Market last week in Vietnam. The main reason it’s interesting to me is all the haggling that went on to get it.…

  • Texas Peanuts [photos 2012]

    Texas Roadhouse Peanuts that is. Texas Roadhouse is becoming one of our favorite restaurants. We had some gift card money left over from a Christmas gift so we decided to go back there this evening. Faced with my commitment making a photo every day, I put this bit of art together while we waited on…

  • The eight year old mind [photos 2012]

    We went to our high school’s basketball game and this is how Savannah wanted to dress. Luckily she pulled off most of this garb before we went into the gym. Eight year old minds are strange, but we were proud of her for making the honor roll for this nine weeks period. This post is…

  • Home Run Ball [photos 2012]

    I just noticed this old baseball that is own “display” in the spare room in my home. It represents my one and only home run from little league. If you’re thinking that’s a pretty weak subject for photo, then your right. What makes it a bit more compelling, is one of the signatures. The John…

  • Welcome Home [photos 2012]

    Well I have much to be thankful for today. After a 25 hour trip including one 13 hour and 48 minute flight from Hong Kong to Chicago, I finally made it home from Vietnam. When I arrived, we had a mini celebration. Savannah had made this welcome home sign for me and I think it…

  • Cafe Tino [photos 2012]

    This was not a particularly memorable restaurant for me other than the sign. Tonight was our supplier’s company New Year’s party featuring Vietnamese Karaoke and lots of food. We stopped off at Cafe Tino’s while we waited for party start time. This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project. Technical…

  • New Years Flowers [photos 2012]

    Flowers are a big part of the Lunar New Year decorations in Vietnam. The main displays are not set up yet, but vendors like these are popping up everywhere. This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project. Technical details: iPhone 4s using Camera+.

  • Technology On The Move [photos 2012]

    This is the exact shot I’ve been hoping for ever since I arrived in Vietnam. Classic Ho Chi Minh City motorcycle/pickup truck scene. I got this from a moving taxi which is a testament to the lack of shutter lag and speed of the iPhone 4S camera. I’ve seen more stuff on a motorcycle but…

  • And they’re off! [photos 2012]

    Vietnam traffic is definitely different than any I’ve experienced before. They rarely stop, but this is one exception. What you see is traffic stopped at a traffic light and just about to take off. The lights change color every 30 seconds. All of them. What’s cool is that they have an LED counter above the…
