    No time like the winter to give light painting a try. My first time light painting, shot my friends’ kids: Toby, Brandon, and Caleb. Just because we were bored. Edit: Forgot to mention that Mackenzie was our light switch coordinator (for before and after the shots). =)

  • TRUTH

    The great glory and strength of pluralism is that it compels the holder of any belief to measure its truthfulness against alternative interpretations. The great hazard of pluralism is the faulty deduction, in the name of tolerance, that all beliefs can be equally true. ~Deliver Us From Evil, Ravi Zacharias Taken during a photowalk with…

    When G. K. Chesterton was arguing against a rationalist who denied miracles on the ground that experience is against it, he cited this: There was a great Irish Rationalist of this school who, when he was told that a witness had seen him commit a murder, said he could bring a hundred witnesses who had…

    Glad to be back from St. Louis. Happy New Year everyone! Say the year “1810” out loud. Now say the year “1999” out loud. See a pattern? It’s been easier, faster, and shorter to say years this way for every decade (except for the one that just ended) instead of saying the number the long…

    Inside the Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall. The official rule is that no photography is allowed in the hall at any time. However, my friend, a “symphony subscriber,” has even had ushers help take pictures in the past. Go figure. I always feel outta place when I’m there. (Like I said, my friend is a…

    I’ve been using Google Voice since it was known as GrandCentral. It changed over sometime March 2009. Too bad they didn’t have that nifty “vanity name selector” when I signed up or else I would have gone for something like ###-BEEJ. Well, Google Voice is available by invitation only, and it seems pretty tough for…

It was…

    I miss seeing sunlight when I get off work. This photo was taken before Daylight Savings ended. It’s so dark and cold when I come out of my building. Boo. Shot out the driver side front window while I was driving. Is that legal? Sorry about that sticker on the lower left of the window.

    I had the opportunity to do my first family “photoshoot” EVER. I put it in quotes because I don’t think I really did anything other than push the shutter button. The parents, my colleagues, both happen to be photographers themselves. No pressure, right? It was definitely challenging to get everyone (Mom, Dad, 3 year old…
