My last post was about the “Rockstars” and their dishonesty. You know what? I love honesty. I really, really do. One of the reasons I loved my photography classes in college was that my professor was so honest. A lot of people didn’t like what he had to say, but it was all absolutely true. [...]

Those of us in the professional photography world have seen a controversy suddenly explode in the last few weeks. It seems that a good many people have suddenly realized that a lot of the “experts” who are out there talking about photography don’t really know anything about it.

What I Learned From Having my Website Hacked
This is an incomplete post. I’m going to keep doing research on this, but I wanted to share what I’ve learned so far. First of all, the story. Earlier this month my website started running slow. I’m now guessing this was the beginning of the problem, and maybe if I had approached things differently, it [...]
Thanksgiving
Every year it gets harder for me to write a post about Thanksgiving, but not for the reason you’d think. As I get more grateful, it seems trivial to talk about giving thanks. I can’t find the words for it. Writing about Thanksgiving this time of year seems to limit it. But today I came [...]

Website and Blog: **MARRIED**
What’s the latest news? You’re looking at it! If you’ve known me for a while, you know I have gone through several incarnations of my website and blog.
