Now is probably as good of a time as any to share the rest of my pictures from Layla’s third birthday party. Such great and sorta cooperative models!
Not everybody can be a winner. Like people who get really angry about Participant ribbons. Those people aren’t winners. These pictures are the people-who-get-mad-about-Participant-ribbons of the FOOD theme for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. Submitted with bits of commentary. What I eat for breakfast about every Saturday. Because I like to… Read More »With the Plastic Eyeballs
There will be more photos from this event, but I wanted to set this photo of Layla off on its own because I like it so much. I’m not a mentalist, a psychic, or even a psycho, but this is what I think Layla is thinking: I can picture in… Read More »Home is Where the House Is
Over 4 years ago, I felt it was time to retire The Friend Wall and replace it with something else. After reading a book from THE DAILY SHOW I came upon the idea to have 9 people pose while conveying 9 different emotions. Many times I’ve thought about bringing back… Read More »Use Them. Enjoy Them. Dominate Them.

Although this undeniably falls into the category of posed photo, I still enjoy it as it shows flashes of truth. And we all know what Picasso said about art and the truth… right? The Howard Children and their Significant Others I should make a quick note that with this journal… Read More »Thug Life
I’ve always said that my favorite pictures of people are when they are being real and not the posed holiday card variety. Perhaps this is why I have so few portrait accounts. Also perhaps why I don’t have a Christmas card. In between painting my house and going out for… Read More »You Lookin’ at Me?
Sunday was my church’s annual block party to kickoff Sunday School. Once again, I manned the PET Obstacle course. Only this year it was more like a PET Area, with a couple of chairs thrown out there. There were way more people there this year, so it was more than… Read More »PET
Feel like revisiting my Instagram account. It has been a long, long, time. Obviously, if you follow me on Instagram, like a boss, you’ve already experienced these. A few of my favorites: That was fun! We’ll have to do that again sometime!

Probably past time I posted some pictures from the mission trip to South Dakota. In reality I could tell a thousand stories about this trip and write a page about each picture, but I’ll hold back and be satisfied with a brief description of each picture. If you want to… Read More »South Dakota
Thought I might get to blogging. Maybe not on a regular basis. Certainly nothing all that planned out. Not sure why. Maybe I’m suddenly feeling inspired again. So I recently went to Gretchen’s first birthday party. Here are some images: So, until I’m inspired again.
