I’ve been on the road this week working on several projects. Domestic stuff — nothing outside the U.S. — but the inner Canadian in me was thrilled to spot this (and several other) Tim Hortons near Columbus, Ohio. Oh, Timmy! I knew you’d broken into Michigan but I’m so happy to see you spreading southward.

I can’t complain about my job. I try to but nobody buys it. Truth is, it’s a pretty darned good job. I get to stay at places like the Luxor Hilton (shown above) in Luxor, Egypt and take photos. Sounds pretty sweet, doesn’t it? Take a look back across that infinity pool in the other [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
