May Contest Entry
As part of getting back into using Daz Studio more I decided to enter the May Freebie Challenge over on the Daz 3d Forums (http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewthread/21454/). I mean the theme was pulp sci-fi/world of tomorrow, how could I not. The pulp sci-fi idea reminded me of a site that I had seen linked a while … Continue reading
Tools for Sale
Since the new house won’t have a spot for a workshop and since I really can’t do woodworking anymore anyway I need to get rid of my major power tools. Here’s a list of the big stuff, I’m mainly putting this here for reference but if you’re interested in any of these and you know … Continue reading
Hint of Spring
I finished my photo book, Hint of Spring, last month and got the copy from Picaboo just before we left for Atlanta at the first of the month. I have to say I’m pretty impressed with the quality of the book. The paper is nice heavy stock and the pictures came out really crisp and … Continue reading
More book photos
I’ve mostly gotten everything up and running on my MacBook now so I’m probably going to just continue using that instead of replacing my desktop at this time.

One of the many pictures I took yesterday at Volo Bog. The before and after the color splash process.
A note for myself
Just wanted to put this here so I could find it later this week. I may want to go to the Photo Club on Wednesday.
Volo Bog
As I mentioned in the previous post I’m running short on subjects for my “Color Splash” photo book idea so this morning I decided to head over to the Volo Bog State Natural Area. We’ve lived here for almost 10 years now and this park is only a couple of miles from the house but … Continue reading
A Picture Book
I’m not sure how it happened but I somehow ended up with a Groupon account. About a month ago the daily deal was $35.00 for $100.00 of goods from Picaboo. Since I was starting to get into photography and I had a couple of pictures I liked already I decided to bite. This morning I … Continue reading
First post
I’ve attempted to start this blog numerous times over the last several years but I’ve never really had anything to blog about on a regular basis that I didn’t have a better spot for. Now, however, I’ve been getting into photography more and more (since Michelle insists I need a hobby to replace the woodworking … Continue reading
