A bit from the old backlog. These pictures were taken on July 20. The zinnias were photographed in my very own Photography 139 Flower Garden. The garage sale pictures were from my Grandma’s somewhat controversial garage sale. I think that is the spin doctor way to describe the garage sale.… Read More »Zinnia Sale
As you become aged, you get invited to less and less parties. I think I was invited to 3 toddler birthday parties and 1 anniversary party last year. I think that was it. My entire social calendar for 2017. The anniversary party was for the parents of Sara and Steven… Read More »Happy Anniversary Juncks!

Every once in a while, a photographer gets to take important pictures. It is rare, but it does happen. I was given such an honor recently when Amber contacted me to take family pictures of her family before Christmas because her Grandpa was being put in hospice care.

I admittedly phone it in a bit on HIGH PERSPECTIVE. I won’t trouble you with any bouts of arrogance. Here are a few alternates for HIGH PERSPECTIVE: All these pictures were taken at Citzen’s National Bank.
I usually start this blog post with a statement on how participation rates went this week, but this week I’m going to start the week differently.

A few months back Jen sent me a text message out of the blue suggesting that I should try to recreate (update) old postcards.
