The start of Lent kicked off my church’s plan to read together through the Bible in a year. It’s been great to have random conversations with friends about the readings, knowing that we’re all studying the same thing. The plan started with Psalm 119, but then moved into the book of Job. Job is a… Continue reading Sorrow
I described in my last post a bit about my trek to photograph the snow as the sun set over my neighborhood yesterday. Here are a few of the photos I managed to capture. The fish eye lens was fun to work with, but I did learn my lesson about setting my ISO to auto.… Continue reading Snowed In
I love the snow. Maybe it’s because I grew up in the South were it was an unusual occurrence, but it always feels like a special treat. Granted, being stuck in my house and having a sore back from shoveling aren’t my ideas of a great time. But there’s something about the snow that calms… Continue reading The Gift of Passion
After hearing for months how funny it was, I finally got around to watching The Hangover tonight. Glad I did! Definitely laughed out loud more than once. In the theme of Vegas, I thought I’d share a few of the photos from my trip to Sin City for Autodesk University.
I want to thank everyone who was able to make it out last night to the In The Beginnings art show! It was a great collection of amazingly talented folks and I was excited to be a part of it. Kudos to Diana, Dave and the rest of the NCC crew that made it possible; it was… Continue reading A Great First Show

I usually identify myself as a “serious amateur” when people ask me if I’m a professional photographer. I have a day job that is not related to photography and only occasionally receive money for any of… Continue reading Giving It Your All
Just before Christmas, DC was blanketed in two beautiful feet of snow. It is amazing how beautiful things can be when covered in the white stuff, things that normally might not be the most attractive. I decided to venture out in the snow to capture views of the Hill. While my fingers felt like they might be forever… Continue reading Snowy DC
I’ve been a pretty bad blogger of late. No doubt, I’ve scratched out a number of blog post ideas on bits of paper here and there. But, as evidenced by my absence here, none have made it to being published. Maybe they will eventually make an appearance, but for now I’ll focus on my newest… Continue reading Making a Commitment
Last Sunday I was able to get a last minute ticket to see Derek Webb’s Stockholm Syndrome CD Release show at Jammin’ Java. It was a great show! And I was pumped when I realized that I had my camera gear with me and there were no restrictions for shooting the show. Combine all of… Continue reading A Great Show and a Photo Challenge
I watched Julie & Julia last week with a group of my friends and left the theater feeling a bit inspired. When they are searching for “something to do”, for something to give them a sense of purpose, both Julie & Julia are asked by their husbands, “What do you like to do?” This is such… Continue reading Learning from Julia…and a couple of photographers
