A Family Portrait

A Family Portrait

Well, the day is here.  Day 365.  What better way to finish a year of photos, than with a family portrait.  These two are the reason I do what I do.  I live for them and love them both unconditionally.  Without their support, there is no way I would have ever completed this project. In…… Continue reading A Family Portrait

Monkey See Monkey Do

Monkey See Monkey Do

Monkey See, Monkey Do.  Monkey makes the face daddy taught him, too.  Over and over and over.  Sigh.  That’s my boy! Day 329 of my 365 photo a day project. Are you looking for art for your home or office or something to spice up your digital desktop?  Most of the images from this project are available…… Continue reading Monkey See Monkey Do

Going Places

Going Places

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” –T.S. Eliot This is how I see my son quite often these days – running to and fro, exploring everything he sees.  Pushing limits is built in to the DNA of a toddler.  Now sometimes that can be a…… Continue reading Going Places

A Night at the Carnival

A Night at the Carnival

We spent a day and a night at the carnival.  And even at 48 years old, I feel like a kid, wide-eyed and excited about the rides, the food, the sights, sounds, and smells.  Of course, now that I am an adult, I also get excited about the music and the, shall we say, refreshments.…… Continue reading A Night at the Carnival

Today I Am Tired

Today, I am tired. I'm exhausted from lack of sleep and too much coffee. I'm mentally drained from trying to do everything on my "to-do" list all at the same time. I'm emotionally fatigued from just about everything I see on the news. Today I feel my age and that makes me weary. But tomorrow the sun will rise. I'll have a cup of coffee while listening to the birds singing outside and my wife and son laughing inside. It will be a brand new day. And I will not be tired. Day 285 of my 365 photo a day project.

Every Day Dilemma

Every Day Dilemma

The dilemma of a life as a freelance photographer and 3D/2D motion graphics artist is you must find a way to balance family time, client needs, personal projects, relaxation time, and the mundane but necessary tasks of running a business.   It’s enough to drive you crazy at times – being at the center of a…… Continue reading Every Day Dilemma

Eternity Spinning

Eternity Spinning

“Whatever may happen to you was prepared for you from all eternity; and the implication of causes was from eternity spinning the thread of your being.” –Marcus Aurelius Do you ever have one of those days where you feel like Sisyphus, repeatedly rolling the proverbial boulder up the hill only to see it roll down again…… Continue reading Eternity Spinning

A Show of Hands

A Show of Hands: Day 197

Ok, a show of hands: who thought I would actually get this far in my photo a day project? Anyone? Well, my hand is half raised. I’ve had my doubts that I would finish many times during the journey. Of course, there is a long way to go, but I’m committed!  Only 168 days to…… Continue reading A Show of Hands

Angelic Face

Angelic Face

When the day is rough, I’m beat down, tired, and at wit’s end, this angelic face rescues me from the muck and mire of things that only seem important.  His joy of constant discovery is a fountain.  His laughter is music and his voice a song.  His love is heart-warming and unconditional.  My wife and I are blessed to have…… Continue reading Angelic Face

In the Ether

In the Ether

“I’m trained to look for certain things… I shoot, I shoot, I shoot, and then I go find it in the ether.” –Sante D’Orazio This statement pretty much sums up my image for today.  I was not feeling very creative.  When that happens, to get out of the creative funk, I try something new – a…… Continue reading In the Ether

The Dark Figure

Dark Figure

A dark figure stands in a doorway peering into an empty room.   Who is he?  Why is he there?  What does he see?  What is he thinking?  These are all questions I ask myself when I am creating my images.  What is the subject and what do I want it to say to me…… Continue reading The Dark Figure

Whirlwind of the Mind

Whirlwind of the Mind

“To really ask is to open the door to the whirlwind. The answer may annihilate the question and the questioner.” –Anne Rice A self-portrait combining my passion for photography and my “day job” of  3D /2D animation and motion graphics.   I shot a quick and simple head shot with my 50mm lens set pretty…… Continue reading Whirlwind of the Mind
