Comments and Kim & Joe

Oh my gosh I am so frustrated with the “comment” system on my blog.  When I turn up the security, all of my regular blog readers have heck commenting. When I turn the security down, I have to sort through 30 spam comments a day.  Now… if i were in the market for cheap meds,...

Finally.

THIS image has been in my head for months… maybe a year.  Every time I drive past this “dot” on the side of one of the downtown buildings in Ottumwa I think “the next time I have a pitchable (is that a word?) age baby and a fun Dad I’m going to THAT dot”.
And you...

A change of pace…

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to document a day at the ball park for a group of young people from the Albert Pujols Family Foundation sponsored by St Louis company, GFI.  It was a great evening… and a perfect change of pace from my norm…

Family & Revenge

This post is all about my brother and his family.
Hence the title…

Bling + Poopy Pooperton

Editing away at Suzy and Clayton’s wedding.  I got a new yummy lens before the big event, and to say that I like it COULD be the understatement of the century.  For my camera geek friends, it’s a Canon 100mm 2.8 macro.

I would like to promise you that I am going to post the next...

STL

Otey, the munchkins and I are in route to St. Louis for a wedding tomorrow, and a Cardinals game on Sunday. How ’bout them Cards? I’ve been scared to blog about it and bring them bad luck, but they are totally kicking hiney this year. They won the Word Series when Coop was...

More Marshall

Brace yourself my friends.
because I’m not sure you are ready to handle the CUTENESS that is this first photo.

Is that not THE most precious little face that you have ever laid eyes on?  Oh my gosh he was just as sweet as he is cute.  Lari (pronounced Larry… isn’t that fun?) contacted me about shooting...
