I only had time last year to make a handful of calendars. If you didn’t get a calendar this year, I am sorry. I only had one left and I gave it to Nader because he actually called and asked for one. If somebody begged I suppose I could print… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #99
False Start I’ve wanted to do a photo series based on the Ten Commandments for quite sometime now. This was originally an idea for, “Hey, don’t be murderizing anybody.” However, I’ve decided to take this in a different direction. So this is not a true start of that project. Here… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #91
A few weeks back I attended Evie’s birthday party. I didn’t take many photos as everybody else there had at least 1 camera and so my photo coverage of the event would have seemed excessive. Seriously, Evie has her own paparazzi. However, I did take a few photos of her… Read More »Birthday Number One
I hate the phrase “things happen for a reason” more than I hate any other phrase in the world. That doesn’t mean that I don’t necessarily believe in fate, but for the most part I don’t like fate. Its plans run contrary to my plans, no matter how hard I… Read More »Giant Steps

As you may recall, I like to check in on some statistics every 100 posts or so to see how things are doing in popularity. However, this statistical check-in will mark the end of an era. I am officially retiring the Snapshots Gallery and the Artistic Gallery. The advent of… Read More »Post 1200

The best laid plans of mice and men… I had written this journal entry several days ahead of schedule because I was planning to be in Minnesota right now. I made all the appropriate plans, but fate took a hand and forced me to cancel my vacation. At about 3:35… Read More »RWPE Y2 #31 – LEADING LINES
These pictures come from the following folder: Backup/Old My Pictures/Pop Art I want to make one thing clear, I’ve always hated Pop Art and Andy Warhol. Although fascinatingly, very few of these pictures could be considered pop art, but I want to make sure that nobody misconstrues this collection as… Read More »The Archives: Edition Twenty-Eight
I’ll just confess that my picture this week was not the intended picture. But I did what I could after I had some kind of memory card failure where I lost my original picture.

Mad with Joy There can be no doubt that there are certain subjects that I photograph for certain people. For example, I photograph tulips and roses for my Mom. I photograph daisies and lilies for Jill. (A fact that lead to a rather embarrassing phone call recently that the story… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week #75 Alpha
