Happy Thanksgiving!

To all of my American visitors today, Happy Thanksgiving (and the international ones, Happy Thursday)! Since today’s Thanksgiving, I thought it was the perfect day to finally share these images captured at Thanks-Giving Square in downtown Dallas (#89 on my 101 in 1001 list).

BTS: My favorite camera straps …

Having now owned four DSLRs (three of which I still own and use regularly), you begin to realize after awhile that the rubberized backing on those straps that Canon and Nikon (and so on) send with the cameras will start to wear and chafe the back of your neck on hot humid days. Well, at...

Eight Years Later …

Always remember, never forget … I created this image just after September 11, 2001 and each year I post it in memory of everyone who lost their life in the attacks on the WTC towers, the Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania, along with the rescuers that gave their lives as well. Its hard to believe its...

Longing …

Maybe its the lack of humid heat half of the year.  Or the natural beauty. Or the ability to wear hoodies and cardigans on summer mornings … I don’t know. All I know is that since returning from The Roadtrip, every thought I’ve had of being satisfied and never wanting to live anywhere other than in the Lone...

habits of a reading variety

I’m borrowing this from Laura @ everypath.org … 01. Do you snack while you read? If so, favorite reading snack? Sometimes — it really can vary. Usually candy (i.e. jelly beans, reeses pieces, m&m’s — all the way to cheese, crackers, or fruit. 02. Do you tend to mark your books as you read, or does...
