Lighting the new year: Random Image Friday
It’s time to celebrate the new year. This candle holder was a gift from Vicki’s aunt Jane and always brings back fond memories of her. Now we use it to celebrate the start of a new year.

Project: White
Ok, so I’ve slacked on my Project 2009 series a little bit. I started out well enough, but then got busy with wedding season (and other excuses). To finish the series off, here’s my submission for the final month of the year. We’ve been hunkered down under a bunch of snow, and honestly, it’s quite … Read more
A goat? Random Image Friday
Here’s a good random picture. A goat climbing a mountain. Ahh yes, this was taken back in 2003 when Vicki and I went to Greece and Italy. There were times on that vacation where I could have sold my return ticket and just settled into a small village and lived out my life there.
Random image Friday: Black Friday edition
I’m not a big fan of the hyper-consumerism which is brought out during Black Friday (or the overextended holiday season, for that matter). I prefer to stay home with the family and play board games (and eat leftovers, of course). This year we’ve had a blast playing Carcassonne, Wits and Wagers, and Bootleggers. If you’ve … Read more
Random image Friday: the abstraction of black and white
Probably the best thing about black and white images is that by not including any color, you make an image more abstract. You can take a highly noticeable image and make it somewhat abstract by removing color. Take this image for example. In color, you would know right away what it is, but in black … Read more
Random "what the heck is that" image Friday
Yup, it’s that time again. And just like last week’s “where am I?” picture, this one is a question. What am I? Personally, I love the textures of this image and am amazed at how well my camera handles the higher ISOs (this one taken at 1250).
Family fun in Paoli
I don’t do a whole lot of family/children photography, but I did family pictures for some friends the other day. We decided on a location in Paoli which is behind the Cheese Cottage. This is a hidden gem of a location — there’s a river, a path, a fence, a brick building, and plenty of … Read more
Matt + Morgan = wedded bliss
Matt and Morgan got married this past Saturday and I was on hand to capture their special moment. This is my last wedding for the year and that’s both a good and a bad thing for me. It’s good because I’ve been really busy with weddings as of late and could use a break, but … Read more
Random Image Friday
Time for another random image. This time it’s a quiz — where am I? Hint: somewhere in Madison, WI
Angela and David, a Hawkeye wedding
Angela and David got married and it was quite the wedding. It was my first wedding in Iowa (Dubuque, to be exact), and a big college football game weekend with the UW Badgers going up against the unbeaten Hawkeyes. I brought along my Bucky shirt, but was quick to hide it as the Hawkeyes kept … Read more
