My first real photography job
Sarah & Kevin’s Big Day, a set on Flickr. For some reason there were people who wanted me to be their wedding photographer! And for some reason I had the confidence to give it a go… Here are the results!

As a freshman in high school I was given the assignment of writing a descriptive paper about a special person in my life. My paper, titled “My Billo-Haired Friend” was an ode to my grandpa (“Brillo-Hair,” is a reference to his course, curly white hair). This was not a difficult assignment.

I’ve often wondered this. More lately, as I’ve attempted to learn a new language, while also helping a non-native speak English. Language is one of those things that becomes stranger the more you think about it; i.e. try saying a familiar word out loud more than a few consecutive times.

French carries a vastly different tune from English, English from Spanish, so forth. Kind of mind boggling?

One of the hardest parts of living on a tight budget these past few months has been the restriction […]

They’ve made me laugh, they’ve made me cry. Here are a few of my absolute favorites: Stuff Mom Never Told You What is it? Stuff Mom Never Told You is part of […]
