I like taking pictures

I have put off posting pics for a bit. I haven’t sat at my computer. I haven’t filed them away. I haven’t tweaked them in Lightroom. I haven’t carefully processed these. Nope. I am slipping. But….I like taking pictures. Actually, I love taking pictures. I just don’t know what to do with them once I […]

Fragments of my life – Getting My Life Back

This past month, I have made it a priority to get my life back. The last few years my work pressure has gone up immensely and chasing my active and amazing kids around has become nearly a full time job. This has left little time for me and as a strong introvert, that can be […]

A busy time and 10 days in Taiwan

When I opened up my own site and saw it was over a month ago since my last post I thought “Really? It’s been that long?” Then I remembered the craziness of the last couple of months. In the past two months I’ve been in Europe, Las Vegas, Chicago and most recently 10 days in […]

Our trip to the Pacific Northwest

Last week my wife and I celebrated our 16th year of marriage by traveling to Seattle and the area north of Seattle. It was our first trip in many many years without our children. Our plan was a couple days in the city and a couple days out of the city. We found out […]
