  • Moving Van [photos 2012]

    This is the gate latch on an old moving van that is actually sitting on my property. My Yorkie started a game some years ago where she barks savagely at the latch when I rattle it. This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project. Technical details: iPhone 4s using Camera+.

  • Snowflake [photos 2012]

    Our local phone company puts up about five miles of these Snowflake lights every year for Christmas. I love incandescent lights against clear wintertime sunsets. I missed perfect light by five to ten minutes, but I was on my way home from work. Cold today! This post is part of my One Photo Per Day…

  • Water Drops [photos 2012]

    Good thing I got today’s shot early. It was a relatively busy first day of work in 2012. I was brushing my teeth when I noticed a shaft of morning sun making these water drops look almost like solids on the countertop. The light only lasted for a few minutes and I almost missed it.…

  • Hog Jowl and Blackeyed Peas [photos 2012]

    Eating hog Jowl and blackeyed peas on New Year’s Day is a Southern tradition that is supposed to bring prosperity in the coming year. This little pig is in the flower garden at a family member’s home where we always gather to eat this stuff. I thought using this little guy as the subject of…

  • One Photo Per Day 2012

    This is the first post in a new series. I’m committing to posting one photo per day made with my iPhone during 2012. I’ve kept up with a few other people who have done this and thought it would be cool to try it. I haven’t given this a lot of thought. As a matter…

  • Savannah’s riding gear.

  • Christmas Lunch with Savannah

    I took a little time this morning and had lunch at SLS with Savannah. As elementary school lunch time generally is, we were rushed, but we had a good time.

  • LR-Blog Plugin Test

    I’m loving Photoshop Lightroom 3 and all the publishing add-ons. This post was actually created within Lightroom during the “Export” process. I thought it would be interesting to show you the image I created today for my client Christmas Cards. I got the idea from a Planet Photoshop Christmas Lights Tutorial. I have both PS…

  • It’s Not About Your Camera (via Ken Rockwell)

    I just had to share this post from Ken Rockwell. It's very difficult not to get sucked in to “needing” all the new photo gear you see and I admit to having the same affliction. Ken always brings me back to earth though. In this latest article, titled It's Not About Your Camera, Ken reminds…

  • Took a field trip with the SLS Second Graders yesterday

    The South Lawrence School second graders visited Helen Keller’s Birthplace in Tuscumbia AL yesterday and I tagged along per Savannah’s request.  I had never been to Ivy Green so she didn’t have to twist my arm.  Everyone had a good time and learned a lot about Helen Keller. I’m planning on taking the family back…
