the Stumbling
Earlier this week I ran on a treadmill for the first time. Of course, I have been on a treadmill before, perhaps walking for a second, maybe running for a stride or two, but never actually trying to exercise. The experience shattered several misconceptions I previously held. For one, I always thought the “hill” feature provided by many treadmills was ridiculous. I mean so what, it...

Discover This!
The era of Floyd Landis has begun. Yesterday while going through security at the Birmingham airport in route to Chicago, Holly and Michelle walked by, having just arrived from Chicago. It’s mostly funny because at the Birmingham airport the walkway to leave the terminal is right on the other side of the X-Ray machine, so they were just right there. Hmm, well, it still doesn’t seem...

What I Did On Summer Vacation
For the 4th of July weekend, Brett and I journeyed to LA. We visited Geoff and pregnant Kat, who is very cute in her current condition. :) Their apartment was really good for being in overpriced LA. The complex had a few too many doors, though. It got confusing, like a maze. We also went to Ben’s wedding (well I went to it, and Brett was in it). And I got to visit Barret. How did so...

PDF with a one page overview of what you can - and can’t - do as a photographer. Very helpful stuff to know for when that pesky security guard starts telling you that you can’t photograph a building.

One More Day Up In The Canyons
Santa Ana canyon, I think. And a night at a hotel in Yorba Linda. Bald Ben’s wedding tomorrow. Remembering the magical summer… Then the feeling that it’s all a lot of oysters, but no pearls.
