Sometimes editing a collection of photos is a more difficult task than actually editing the individual photos themselves.
When examining the results of a haphazard, moving photoshoot with a varied assortment of images subjects the task is often easier as each image is generally of a different subject with different lighting and framing. However with [...]

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.

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 [...]

I've decided to submit 10 images to "JPG Magazine":http://www.jpgmag.com/ for Issue 8. However, I have only 16 hours left to get my submissions in and then only a week after that to get you all to vote for them like mad. So, I'm a bit behind. Will you help me out?

Ignoring Thanksgiving entirely was impossible. So, instead, I just dodged it as best as I could and accepted what I couldn't dodge.
Thursday morning, before heading to my mom's place to spend the day, we went out for a nice hike along the Trinity River. The sun was out and, given the colder than usual temperatures, [...]

Remember that time when I said I would be posting long, personal entries each and every day for an entire month as an exercise in testing readership and feedback, to examine new means for personal growth, and in participation of NaBloPoMo? Hahahaha. Wasn't that a funny joke?

There's a lot you can learn from a Heroin Junkie. There's a certain glamour in doing whatever pleases you most and answering to no one but yourself and, of course, your addiction. When you boil away all the impurities it becomes clear what [...]

Thanks to good friends, old friends, new friends, great conversation, and low cut shirts, Jess and I had a great time Friday night out at Jupiter House. Enough, perhaps, to make this a recurring, informal gathering. More on that later.
I spent yesterday hanging out with my Grandparents who are in town until after my sister's [...]
