These pictures come from: backup/Old My Pictures/Family/2004 B&W One of the things I take from these pictures is that I have progressed in my knowledge of lighting quite a bit. Plus I owned a pretty terrible scanner. IMAGE LOST IMAGE LOST IMAGE LOST IMAGE LOST IMAGE LOST IMAGE LOST IMAGE… Read More »The Archives: Edition Thirteen

These pictures are from: backup/Old My Pictures/2005 Calendar I’m pretty sure these are the files from the 2nd year of the calendar, although it is possible that it was the 3rd or 1st year of the calendar. My records on such things are spotty at best. In the early days… Read More »The Archives: Edition Two
It is my habit to not comment on the pictures I post in this project, but I’m going to make a small exception here. In the first couple of pictures, Carla is sitting on the old abandoned well in the basement of our old house on 415 Greene Street. I… Read More »Slice of Life Vol. 30
Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894 after a number of Americans were murdered by the military during the Pullman Strike. After the massacre, President Grover Cleveland made reconciliation with unions a top political priority. Making Labor Day a national holiday was his form of reconciliation. I celebrated Grover… Read More »CLU’s Holiday
“The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off.” -Abe Lemons Sunday was my Mom’s retirement party. Here are a few pictures: There are more pictures from the party in the Mom’s Retirement Party Album.
Here are some pictures from a couple of celebrations that I attended a long while ago, but never quite found the time to post: Johnathan’s Graduation Open House Shannon Birthday Campout
I had my, what could theoretically become, annual Birthday Barbecue on Saturday.

I indicated in the first Personal Photo Project entry that the weekly Personal Photo Project wouldn’t always be designing and taking a new picture. This is one of those occasions. This time the project was cutting and mounting and hanging Psyched Up (Not Out) on the wall. Psyched Up (Not… Read More »Personal Photo Project of the Week No. 10
This concludes the Johnathan series. Hopefully we will get some indoor photos taken in the near future.
The best part of these pictures is that around the time we started on this set of pictures, Johnathan said, “Hey mom, you are standing on a snake.” Carla looked down. She was indeed standing a living, breathing snake. She slightly overreacted. Poor thing. At least it wasn’t hurt. >… Read More »Johnathan – Day 1 Part D
Some pictures from Johnathan’s Senior Pictures Day 1 photo shoot. I didn’t exactly select pictures that I thought were great Senior Pictures, but pictures that I liked. Day 1 was productive and I look forward to Day 2.
Last Monday I finally completed Window Project #1. It has been several years since my mom got new windows for her house. I had her keep all of the old windows because I thought that there would be a point in the future where I would be able to use… Read More »Window Project #1
Rarely when I publish pictures do I explain the thought process, the technical information or the inspiration. If somebody is confused by a picture or intrigued by a picture I want them to come to their own conclusions. I feel by telling people too much about a picture, it cheapens… Read More »Coltrane’s 1st Wife’s Middle Name
I started Thanksgiving by helping serve the free Thanksgiving dinner with my Mom, Teresa and Logan. I was given the extremely important duty of collecting trays.

Happy Birthday to this guy: I don’t know where he got his questionable taste in athletic teams…
On Thursday night, Johnathan became the first member of the family to total a car. This is a shame for me because I had put all my money on Elainie. Below are a couple of cell phone photos of the destroyed car. He was uninjured in the accident. All of… Read More »First Family Car Accident
Saturday was this guy’s birthday: It was also the birthday of this punk: While going through some pictures I found this picture:
I got all of the old pictures off of my phone. There aren’t a terribly large amount of pictures on there because the old phone is about 4 years old and didn’t have much memory on it. It turns out almost every picture on that phone ranges from bad to… Read More »Bad Photos
