It's currently 12:51pm. But, if all goes well, you won't see this until 1:15pm (central time). But that didn't work so I'm trying again for 10:00pm.
One of you let me know if it works.

I think I'm a target for broken things — broken anything. From techology, to things bought in various stores, to that too-emo-for-my-age feeling that even most of my relationships are broken in some way.
I go into a Starbucks with a simple purpose: get some Caffiene before going back to work so I don't fall asleep [...]

This is Celeste being bathed in a wash bucket at my In-Law's Summer Camp in Northern Ontario. I love this photograph for more reasons than I can possibly list.
The concept of a "Summer Camp" to those that don't live in the North is probably quite foreign. In fact, if it conjures any image at all, [...]

Good Morning from Anchorage.
Since the sun's already up, I don't have to worry about my desire to get any where before sunrise. It nice and overcast which means great things for photography opportunities today. I'm pretty sure I'm taking the route through Watertown this morning, though I've got no one to answer to so I [...]

There's a small, growing, unnamed peace that can be found in releasing concern. I was tempted to use say "that can be found in not caring", but there is a difference.

I'm a bit scattered this morning, so I'm sure this will flow in a similar fashion. Ugh.
I'm pretty sure I'm not taking the Ferry from Tobermory. Sure, I might change my mind at the last minute and hope for the best but, the added travel time just doesn't make sense considering how eager I am [...]

On Friday I'm Toronto bound. It's about a 4 hour drive, and I have 9 hours or more to make it in (Kim is meeting me at 5pm).
These are my options:

I can take my time in Rochester, Buffalo, and Niagra Falls. Maybe pick out some state parks or look for some industrial areas to visit.
I [...]

The trip to Vermont went well. Two stops for feedings (one which included ice cream for Jess and I), and we still made it in about 5 hours.
There was lots of family waiting for us when we got there. Had a great dinner and good times. Then settled in at my brother's place, made a [...]

We don't have a lot of time this morning. We're in Syracuse and about to head out to Vermont for family festivities. Just thought I'd share this photo of Celeste waiting for the plane yesterday.

Every day goes pretty much like this for me, it's just the details that are different.
I went to bed last night with the goal of getting up this morning, publishing a photograph or two, and writing something interesting, at least to me. I probably should have forced myself to do it last night, but the [...]
