Thanksgiving Photo Shoot for a Christmas Card
Thanksgiving weekend is just about to wind down and move into the 25 day rush to Christmas. It was a nice weekend with some nice rain showers and lots of food. I just finished watching one of the more lousy versions of the Iron bowl (if you are an Auburn fan) over the last few…

The Simplicity of Two Red Chairs in the Grass
This was taken out by our pond with the photo shoot from Thanksgiving. I love the simplicity of two or three colors in photography. Such a simple picture yet so much can be seen or written about the simplicity seen here.

Giving Up Thanksgiving For Christmas This Year?
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I am sitting here about to turn on the Macy’s Day Parade and for some reason thinking about Christmas and New Years Day and beyond. For some reason this year it seems like we have skipped over Thanksgiving and are bolting ourselves into the Christmas day time. Retail stores are probably…

The North Star and Long Exposure Star Trails
If you have been following the progress of our tree and tree swing, it now has just about no leaves on it at all, so last night I decided to take advantage of the very dark night out here and do a long exposure of the tree showing the North Star. This shot was a…

Coldplay Releases Prospekt’s March [EP] in the U.S. Today
Have you ever heard of Coldplay? I am guessing even if you don’t listen to them, you have heard of the band. I am truly amazed by this band. Not only are they a darn good band, (even if you just think they are just a poppy, trendy U2, their success is obvious) but they…

Auburn United Methodist Church Gives Out 500 Thanksgiving Dinners
If there is one place where the Church should be involved and actively participating is helping those who need help. I had a chance to visit the operation area of the Auburn United Methodist Church food bank on Thursday and they were preparing to give away 500 turkey dinners, 800 bags of fresh corn, milk,…

There is one more left but they had everyone come last night to what turned out to be an incredible night of music, worship, and reflecting.

The Economy, Big 3 Auto Bailout, and the Church // Part 1
The world is ending as we know it. If you didn’t know that, there, now you do. Anyone watching the news lately? I quit am ready to quit watching the news altogether (which is saying something for a news junkie of sorts). Every day it is a relentless doom and gloom story of the world,…

Last Round of 5 Year Old Expired Kodak BW400
I got back the last of my expired rolls yesterday. This time it was on the Kodak BW400 (consumer version, not professional grade) film that was also about 5 years old. The grain is pretty significant and the scans are not all that great as far as color correction goes, but then again, for 5…

Well It's Full Speed Baby in the Wrong Direction
Every have hours or weeks, or months you feel like this? To borrow a term from my wife and her knitting friends, they call it “frogging”. That refers to when you knit row after row after row and suddenly realize that you messed up 20 rows ago and have to rip all those bad rows…
