I love it when I get the picture right.

Took some promo pics for my friend Nate Houge. Nate does some kids music and we thought it’d be fun to get his youngest daughter in the pic playing drums. This is me showing her how cool it’ll be if she does it… it didn’t work.

I finally started Dexter (season 1) on Netflix and thought I’d go for the serial killer lighting.

My big bro turned 40 and decided to feed 40,000 people with some help from his friends. Honestly, one of the best birthday parties I’ve ever been to.

Sinner and saint i suppose… but mostly just tired.

Just trying to keep up the habit. It was actually hard to stop after my 365 so I figured I’d come down easy and keep in practice. Loks like a decent headshot for acting. Anyone need one?

Of all the things I look forward to in the new year, spending more time with my wife is number 1.
The majority of my processing and posting for the 365 took place in the evening after the boys were asleep. That is quality time with my wife I am missing out on. Thanks for all your support, hon, and thanks for throwing cards in my face. A great way to ring in the new year. XO

Thanks to everyone else for your support. It was a blast sharing this project with you all and I look forward to sharing more pics with you soon… just not every day. How does weekly sound? Good? Good.

Blessings to you and yours in this new year.

I love me a good over medium egg. Not over hard eggs or over easy. And you can forget that sunny side up business. There’s a difference.
So with some freed up time in this coming new year I am on a quest to perfect my over medium egg. It’s no 365 but it’s a project I can sink my teeth into.

Once the daily picture posts are done I’m excited to have more time for sleeping… not that my kids will let me. But it’ll be payback when they are teens trying to sleep in and I’m a crotchety late-40-year-old.

As mentioned yesterday, I’m looking forward to picking up more than just a camera everyday. My trusty Taylor 414CE acoustic has been sorely neglected. So it’s time to give the ol’ six-string some love.

I’ve done this shot before with better musicians than me.
