When I first visited Disney World with my extended family in 2014 I only did a few character meets. As my in-laws lined up to meet character after character sans-kids I looked on in bewilderment. Why would a grown adult spend that much time waiting to take a photo with a person dressed up in… Continue reading Tips for Great Character Meets
Greetings from Kathmandu! It’s been a great week. There was a lot of flying and there have been a lot of photos. But the best part has been the array of interactions with amazing people. Some are good friends, some are people I’ve been fortunate to meet in seemingly random circumstances. But they have all… Continue reading Hello from Kathmandu
The more traveling I do the more I realize that for me it’s less about the places and more about the people. It all started in Morocco, which I still consider one of my favorite trips. It was a visit filled with new friends and invitations to share mint tea and special meals in the… Continue reading All About the People
Today began the Tears series at our church. It’s centered around Job and the discussion of pain and suffering in our lives. It’s a powerful series in itself, but our amazing media team put together videos of some very courageous NCCers who were willing to share some of their personal stories of suffering – and… Continue reading This is Why
I shot an event recently at the beautiful Lincoln Theater in DC. While most of the photos are of the stage and crowd using a wide fish eye lens, I did manage to snap this one shot of a beautiful light fixture for myself. I seem to have a thing for details and pattern and… Continue reading It’s in the Details

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
