Feline design?

03Sep08

Bear with me here… this is science.

Since we’ve moved into the new house, I’ve been noticing some interesting behavior in one of our cats, Nacho. This funky area rug used to be in the office so the cats have never seen it before. Now that we’ve reintegrated the office into the house, it has found […]

Moving: phase one

23Jul08

As of this past weekend, the office has officially been moved to its new home in Lawrence, Kansas. The house move will follow in a few weeks so we’ll be commuting in the interim.
There are lots of shots that I always intended to take in Topeka but never got around to them. For instance, I […]

Situation update

06Jul08

Again, my apologies for the limited posts and all of the other ways that I’m neglecting my friends and family. Progress is moving along at the new house but it’s taking a lot of our time right now. Along with the work that we’re doing to ready the old house for the market and the […]

Self-serving horn tootin’

28May08

It’s been another busy week but one filled with good news. Not least of which was that the above photo of Native American dancers at the Cortez Cultural Center in Colorado earned me the “Photographer of the Year” award from the Central States Chapter of the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW). Thanks, folks!
All good […]

Crunch time

18May08

Sorry for my absence this week but it’s been hectic to say the least. I’ll (hopefully) appease you with another weather shot from our stay on Mt. Magazine in Arkansas last weekend.
While we were away, the sellers lowered the price on the house we had had our eye on. We already knew about the lower […]

Memorable meals, part 2

31Mar08

Yesterday I wrote about the amazing kalbi dinner I’d had in South Korea two years ago to the day. Today, I’ll once again go back two years to the next evening when I participated in the Beomeosa Templestay program.
In the morning we had traveled to Busan and, after spending a couple of hours exploring […]

Memorable meals, part 1

30Mar08

Today has been a catch-up day. I’ve prepped over 500 images from recent trips for submitting to my stock agency and compiled over 1200 photos to send in to the US Copyright office as part of my ongoing effort to keep my registrations current. Add to that the installation of various system and software updates […]

Anyone for ice skating?

19Feb08

Dear city water workers,
I don’t want to tell you how to do your job — and I’m sure that you gave this a lot of thought — but… when the overnight lows are predicted to be 20 degrees below freezing do you really think that it’s the best evening to open the fire hydrant in […]

Life is a blur

18Feb08

I think I’ve shown other shots from this series on my previous blog but I don’t think I’ve shown this one in particular. It’s from last Spring in Lexington, Kentucky. The jockeys were giving the thoroughbreds their morning warm ups at Keeneland. I was looking for a blurry, almost abstract image and experimented with several […]

Kansas Democratic Caucus

06Feb08

I attended the Democratic Caucus last night and tucked my little Panasonic LX1 into my pocket to grab a few shots of the scene. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it certainly wasn’t the swarms of energetic folks that I encountered. We had over 900 people crammed into one room not counting media and […]
