Deal or No Deal

Jun 29th, 2010 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 3

Deal Hy-Vee on 6th street is giving away a box of Hefty green bags for every $12 in fresh produce you buy. This is the second time I’ve caught this offer. The first offer was the first time I tried the bags. I’m amazed at how much longer my produce lasts. I read up on [...]

Google Voice, you God ram plucking pizza ship.

Jun 28th, 2010 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 6

I’ve spent the last hour trying to configure my voicemail on my phone. I was having one of those “why do the scientist make these things” mornings. One hour. Really. My voicemail is now all being sent to Google Voice, which will transcribe it and send me a notice to my cell phone and my [...]

Good Night

Sunset at Clinton Lake. Ada and I drove out just to see where the sun hit. We took one photo from the side of the road. I have lens flare, even with a hood. Nothing particularly interesting with the photo, other than sunset colors are pretty. It was just a spec drive to see what [...]

Good Morning

Good Morning

Going to bed before 8:00pm has the advantage of waking up at 4:00am and getting to drive in the convertible to the lake for the sunrise and partial lunar eclipse. I made a mental note and put aside my tripod for the trip and then ended up at the lake without my tripod. Figures. The [...]

Well that was a terrible, and hence, typical nap

Jun 23rd, 2010 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 2

I don’t take naps. I don’t understand how people take short naps and actually feel good afterwards. I drag. It takes me more than twice as long to recover from a nap than it took to take it. The only time I can describe my afternap feel as “refreshed” is when I drug myself into [...]

You know what’s wrong with this?

Jun 22nd, 2010 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 4

Center for Science in the Public Interest threatens to sue McDonald’s if they don’t stop using toys to to lure children to its Happy Meals. I don’t feel they are luring my children anywhere. Why? I’m the one that has to take them there in the first place. I can just not do that. And [...]

Mess With Ada, Get The Horns!!

Mess with Ada, Get the Horns

Ada came into my studio wearing a viking hat and trying to act the part. This shot makes her look almost grumpy, but she was playing angry. She had a couple of better facial expressions, but the composition was terrible or so was the backdrop. We stopped about halfway so I could adjust it. I [...]

Father’s Day Celebrations. Sort of.

Jun 20th, 2010 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 1

Well, today was not really too much of a bust. Mac didn’t sleep in, but rather got up early with Jay to comfort him through his all morning puking session. I did get breakfast made for the three of us that weren’t puking. Father’s Day activities today were at the dock, but Jay and I [...]

Ada with pink gel

Ada with pink gel

I finally bought some Honl gels. This is my first shot with the pink gel. What I really need is to spend time making a DIY reflector holder. No way that I’ve tried has done a good enough job holing my 5-in-1. Then I can actually get her eyes lit correctly. I had to pull [...]
