Tips for Great Character Meets

September 17, 2019September 18, 2019 agoolsbyLeave a comment

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

Hello from Kathmandu

October 2, 2010October 2, 2010 agoolsbyLeave a comment

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

All About the People

April 27, 2010 agoolsby1 Comment

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

This is Why

February 28, 2010 agoolsbyLeave a comment

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

It’s in the Details

February 25, 2010 agoolsbyLeave a comment

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

Sorrow

February 24, 2010 agoolsbyLeave a comment

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

Snowed In

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

The Gift of Passion

February 7, 2010 agoolsby1 Comment

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

Vegas Sights

January 22, 2010 agoolsbyLeave a comment

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
