If I Could Turn Back Time

Sorry Austin

Four Miles Out. Four Miles In.

Here's the view from along the Appalachian Trail on the North Carolina/Tennessee border. It's hard to beat the beauty of Fall in the Smoky Mountains.

Thank you Alex.

Still Beating

Yeah, sometimes I'm sappy.

Talk You Up

As a younger man, newly friended in Orlando, Florida, I had a vision. It happened while at work one day whilst watching a fellow employee zone out with his earphones on. We could not harass him or offer up our professional, unsolicited critique of his design work. We hated that we weren't able to communicate the way we felt we needed to. We thus began wondering what it was that this designer was listening to to drown out our incessant whining and sarcastic jokes. I suggested he was listening to a recording of a pleasant voice repeating words of encouragement over and over. It was right then I envisioned such an audible friend. One you could load up n the iPod or Discman or even a Walkman if you were so inclined.

I set out with the help of some friends to record this pick-me-up. What it produced is a very excruciating three and some odd seconds recording of myself (heavily influenced by Ron Burgundy) reading out words of encouragement.
Recently I was going through junk and found my original handwritten list of reasons you rule. I have decided to make this recording public and include the album artwork, liner notes, and the mp3's for your listening pleasure.

Enjoy being talked up!

Nevermind the shows, check out that thick typeface. Antenna Black is the best thing on that channel right now.

Remembrance of Lost Love

In memory of my trusted Canon EOS Elan IIe.
Born June 26, 1996 and laid to rest October 9, 2008.

My love of the natural world, great lighting, f/11, watching/feeling sunsets, lonely treks in the woods, happening upon couples making out, unrealistic goals, and getting dotted on by my older peers for great composition was nurtured though this mid-level SLR.
One of these days I'll get serious about imaging and purchase his newer siblings not requiring film and developing.

When Life Hands You Lemons

Sometimes life really dumps on you. It must be in those times that just at the right moment, life will also find you opening your old Franklin Electronic Bible case and having this wallet sized picture fall into your hands.


He shall find a new home in my wallet. A friendly face and a warm smile amongst the harshest of seasons.

To Be Expected

On November 3, at long last, these 3 shall be together again. For better or worse, for poor or poorer, in sickos and health, until a lucky lady do us part.
God save the queen.
