Sneak Peak at the 2008 Dallas Cowboys Cookbook

September 17, 2008

What you see there is a work in progress. So far so good. The back cover has a little subtle homage to the soon to be retired Texas Stadium. If you are a fan of the Cowboys, I think this year’s Cookbook is going to be something worth getting, especially if you can get it [...]

iOTW: Shooting Naked Leather in Denton

September 13, 2008

This summer I returned to my college stomping grounds in Denton, TX for a quick shoot with Leatherwood, one of Denton’s upcoming bands. My ex called me to shoot her boyfriend’s band’s promotional images. For free. And I was like, yeahp, sign me up. The shoot brought back memories of the days when I spent [...]

Why I hate being a creative sometimes

September 13, 2008

I don’t know who wrote this but it was one of the few forwards that I do actually read in my emails. As an aside, I think my friends have figured out that I don’t really send them email forwards all that often, if ever. Not only that, it’s a rare occassion for me to [...]

Learning about the world we live in…

September 7, 2008

iOTW: Walking in the Clouds

August 29, 2008

So last night I added some more carbon to my carbon footprint count that Dopplr is doing a nice job of tracking. We had a flyby of a storm cloud that was busy getting it’s business on with lightning and thunder (I assume since you can’t really hear what’s going on outside the plane). I [...]

Yet another re-design in progress.. wait, you are suprised?

August 16, 2008

So I am spending the weekend relaxing and tweaking da blog to match the main site a little bit. Things were looking a bit, well, shabby, and I thought I might look under the hood and get some surgery done to the interface. It’s coming along nicely, but far from getting done. I have some [...]

Updates from Scandanavia… or stuff you don’t care about

August 9, 2008

Ok. I know, I don’t have enough images on my parent site, so I’ve added a new Travel Gallery so you can keep up with me travels if you don’t already do so on Facebook. Well anyway, this is easier too since iOTW only usually features only one image or two at a time, this [...]

Sunday afternoon at the dock

July 27, 2008

It just about 3pm here in Tonsberg, Norway. The sun never quite made it to dead center. Actually, the sun never makes it to dead center here, it just curves across the horizon as if it didn’t have enough momentum to kick it’s way to high noon. At midnight last night, there was still a [...]

Well, isn’t that just craptastic!

July 23, 2008

Look at this! My server had a meltdown and my host is really doing a craptastic job of getting things fixed. That’s partially the reason that things look a bit spectacularly like crap. Oh and I am now officially redesigning this bloggy thingie yet… again… the work of a designer is never done. If you [...]

iOTW: Village Whispers, a series

July 5, 2008

This week’s iOTW comes to you courtesy of village life. I went to spend a couple of days of R&R (hah!) in the village with dear ‘ol mum. I think I’ll start a series of these. I have yet to go to the village house and not come back awed by yet another fabulous image(s). [...]

iOTW: A New Perspective

June 23, 2008

At a cruising altitude of 30,000 ft, the world tends to look small… more precisely one tends to realize how small one really are. Case in point, see the moon up there? You would think that it gets bigger the closer to it you are, and yet it still looked like it was a dust [...]

Blogging from Kigali, Rwanda later this week

June 23, 2008

I will be blogging from the East African Community Investment Conference in Kigali, Rwanda. Yes, the same Rwanda. In a testament to how bad news really sticks around longer than good news, a client of mine freaked out when they heard I was going through Rwanda this week. Due to the nature of my job(s?), [...]

Have 5D will travel

June 22, 2008

So I finally made the jump to the current model 5D since Canon is taking their sweet time updating this puppy. Having used it over the last month for a six-city heavy duty photo project, I can’t really fault them for waiting to upgrade. There’s little to complain about… well, save for the lack of [...]

Why must love betray us all?

June 22, 2008

I didn’t really have anything deep or fascinating that would give insight into that. I thought I would share it since it’s been swimming around the empty chambers of my heart lately. I feel hollow.

iOTW: iPhonography at 30,000 feet

May 28, 2008

This past month I’ve been flying around doing my best impression of my buddy David Sasaki, except without the linguistic ability. My first in-flight self-portrait was way back in 2001. I was gliding 30,000 above Morocco. I snapped this self-portrait and thought it was the coolest lighting. I got an inkling to take some shots [...]

Living the Rockstar Photographer Lifestyle

May 27, 2008

I’ll post some interesting images for iOTW tomorrow that I took in-flight. It’s been a while since I added any images to the iPhotography catalog of images… See you tomorrow. [...]
