This weekend we brought home the family furniture (mentioned on this blog before here) that has been being lovingly restored for the past year. That’s it. We’re officially finally all moved in to our new house now. I didn’t say unpacked — just moved in. (And, true to my word, I did get some of [...]

Okay. So, by now, you’ve probably noticed a change in my posting schedule. Like… I’m hardly posting.
I’ve been off the road for four weeks now. Four weeks. That’s almost unheard of for me. It’s not due to the economy — it’s actually been somewhat purposeful. It was time to recharge. Time to stay home for [...]

I’ve been slacking on my posting duties lately due to… well… my slacking. It’s been busy, too. Not going to complain about that.
So, tomorrow morning I’m off for a week of shooting in Michigan. Should be a blast. I’ll post if I can reform my slacking ways.
Oh, and an update on my Alamy goal for [...]

This could be a long one but I’ll do my best to be brief.
My wife has an incredible collection of family furniture. Originally Scottish, some of the family wound up in Montreal where they were prominent engineers involved in, among other things, the building of the earliest canals along the St. Lawrence. Wealth followed and [...]

Another portrait from Egypt — this time a potter taking a break to have some tea. I had a print order to run last week and sent this and my Chinese kite flyer along for a couple of 11×14s. I don’t often get prints made for myself but these two look really nice.
As usually happens, [...]

I ran across a link to the New York Times’ feature, Obama’s People on John Nack’s blog this morning. I really feel like these portraits show a government “of the people”. Check ‘em out and watch the “behind the scenes” as well. What a production it must have been to generate this seemingly simple series [...]

Here it is, 2009. Where did the time go? 2008 was an amazing year for me, filled with plenty of travel — even though we swore we would cut back so that we could buy a new house. While we did buy a house, move, and sell the old one, we didn’t do a very [...]

I’ve been off the grid for awhile so let’s catch up…
I spent Tuesday night (election night) in a great little log cabin in northwest Arkansas. This was my driveway. Yes, there was a TV. No there was not an antenna or cable — just a DVD player. Happily, there was a wifi network at the [...]

For the last week or two, my daily routine has started around 3:00 am with office work, a 30 minute drive to the old house after sunrise, and painting and scrubbing the place until dark. Drive home, check emails, put out any fires that flared up during the day, and collapse into a coma-like state [...]

My friend and oh-so-talented illustrator, Christy Schneider, tagged me on her blog last night. I’m honored that she listed me among her favorite reads and will now, in turn, share some of mine.
In no particular order:
Bruce L. Snell — Yeah, he’s my brother. But he’s a darned talented photographer, too. Mostly portrait and wedding [...]
