Sunday in Spring
Today was a good day. We went to church. The big kids were both volunteering (yeah, they are pretty amazing!), but all I had to do was text them from bed that they should make sure to go with each other, and the case was solved. The rest of us showed up just before...
Human Habitat
Humans are builders. Some animals like prairie dogs and beavers build things, and of course, birds build nests. But humans create very sophisticated habitat for themselves. The urban habitat with skyscrapers and subways is complex at a level that makes the whole...
Ancient and Future Wind
What does it mean that the animation of weather induced air currents has preceded my existence by at least six thousand years, and is very likely to succeed my earthly journey by at least as many millennia? We think of winds and weather as temporary and changeable,...
Is “Like-Minded Friend” an Oxymoron?
So maybe that title looks like nonsense to you. Maybe you think "of course, you can have like-minded friends, that's what draws people together, shared values!" And that's right, I can pretty much agree with that statement. So is that the end of the story? Well, not...
The Difficult That I Do Not Think Is Work
Today on YouTube I was listening to Mark Manson on the Impact Theory vlog with Tom Bilyue. You can listen to the interview/podcast here although I need to give a language alert. Mark's book is named "The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F$%*" so swearing comes up a few...

Photog Class 5: The Moment
A photograph is a visual moment frozen in time. Whether you have captured the sunlight shining through a rolling breaker wave, or a fleeting expression on a mother's face at a wedding there is an enduring and captivating magic in the ability of the camera to freeze...
68 GB
I attended and photographed the the UI commencement for the first time today. I've lived in Moscow, Idaho since 1996 minus 2000-2001 and I have never attended a commencement at UI. I brought home about 68 GB of photos. And commensurate with that number I was...
VIPs and Cameras
Definitely one of the perks of being a photographer is that your job takes you to photograph interesting people, and sometimes those people are also VIPs. Tonight was one of those nights. I covered the Presidents Commencement Dinner for the University of Idaho and I...
Public Relations and Publicity
I'm watching the Netflix documentary on Donald Trump right now. The role of Public Relations and Publicity in his whole story is very interesting. I'm interested in his story as an avatar for what social media and the availability of unlimited distribution has put...
