I’ve always wanted to try out a pinhole camera, and now you can download, print, and make your own for free at Linatree.com. There’s even a contest to get your work published!
If any of you try this, I want to see the pics! (Jenn & Melissa, I’m looking in your direction)

Returning from our recent trip to Dallas, someone pointed out a complete rainbow in the clouds during our descent into Kansas City. I scrambled for my camera and managed to catch it just before ducking below the clouds. I realized that the shadow of our plane appeared to be entering the perfect circle [...]

Just thought I’d post one of my fav photos from my last trip to Dallas.  This is a temple in Thanksgiving Plaza in Downtown Dallas.

The photo plugin for my site hasn’t been behaving lately. I’m using Wordpress, which has just released a new version, so I’m expecting to upgrade soon.
So to all of my faithful fans (all 2 of you), I’ll hopefully have a new improved site up soon.
I also need to change my fall [...]

I was watching Family Guy and having a beer when I decided I kinda liked the view through the glass. Coincidentally, when I ran to grab my camera and returned, Stewie was using a camera in the scene. Turned out kinda cool.

We went to Loose Park here in KC and took some shots of the maples. Even though [...]
