Every piece of orchestral music sounds like a broken music box when listened to through a baby monitor, yet I listen still. The occasional sigh or faint cry heard over those broken notes is just enough to keep my worry enclosed, despite the fact that she is sleeping right next to her mother, fully capable […]

I've decided to enter my first JPG Magazine Submission in the "Surroundings" category. I'd be honored if you'd take the time to go vote for it.
First the image: You might remember seeing a similar image from me in the past. In fact, that image is one of my most popular on Flickr. I had to […]

It was almost exactly one year ago that I started a project attempting to photograph myself and share the results once daily. The time constraints of this, some kind of life, and a 50+ hour work week made it impossible to continue. I discussed ways of keeping it alive and then eventually ended it.

However, while […]

Here's Jess at 34 weeks. Simply beautiful.
I guess our photoshoot with Jonathan really helped break the ice because,  later, she decided to go with my dad and I to Lake Worth at sunset and pose for me for a few photographs.
This is her favorite of those. There are a few others that might make it […]

Thanks to all of you for your insight into yesterday's discussion regarding Photo Collection Editing.
This image — Sun Scarred Sky over Lake Worth — is the result of that process and subsequent editing (view the original).
In the end, I ended up with 4 images (one from each angle) from the original 18 that I felt […]

Sometimes editing a collection of photos is a more difficult task than actually editing the individual photos themselves.

Believe it or not, after 8+ years of blogging (7 years of which is nearly fully visible on this site) I still haven't figured out where I want to put what. But who cares.
Here's a sampling of images I took at the Fort Worth Nature Preserve a few weekends ago with my dad. There are […]

Despite my best efforts, I never did see any beavers last night. To be honest, I've only ever seen a beaver in the wild once, so I'm not entirely certain what their habits are, or where the best places to wait out to see them are. I saw a few structures that might […]

Yesterday, Jess and I went to her doctor appointment. All was well and good and she has another in a little more than a week.
During the appointment the doctor indicated that I should be taking care of the cat box duties until further notice.
She used those exact words.

I spent an hour editing photos this morning. I was attempting to resize them to put on the web and I pressed a button that didn't do what I think it did. All of my edits were destroyed. I called Jess, upset, but, of course, there was nothing she could do. Then I […]
