Updating
I’ve spent the last few days completely redesigning my website. Before it was just a blog and a portfolio, now it’s more of an actual website, with links for payments and more categorized home page for specific interests. One of the new pages is the ART page.

Happy Holidays!
Every year I try to take my kids to the Denver Zoo for Wild Lights. Thing is, when I was a fine art major I did a slide show (um, old school, actual slides, title slides, programmed tape deck, Wollensak programming unit) on the Denver Zoo for a final. Got an A+. It was fun. … Continue reading
Oooops…
Black athletic tape is a necessity for any camera bag. Gaffers tape is great too, but athletic tape has a touch of elasticity making it an asset for various applications including reattachment of busted parts. I discovered this at the state wrestling tourney, when the foot of my strobe snapped. The only thing available was … Continue reading
