Oddities

A series of odd pictures I created for my final project. This was a lot of fun to think up and make. I'll be turning this into an ongoing series I'll add to whenever a good idea comes to mind. Thanks to all the models (Melanie, my parents, and of course myself). I welcome any ideas you might have.

Portfolio

Portfolio I made for class. I'm really pleased with the way it turned out and plan on making several more with variations on the binding. Need to work on a better adhesive next time, this one is already starting to peel back. Thanks to Eric over at KoboShop for the leather.

Birthday (belated)

I was treated with a half home-made cake from Melanie.  A very tasty angel food cake with a delicious lemon cream icing. 

 

 Happy Birthday Me!  

Fishing

I apologize to my two die-hard followers have been waiting in agony. My break must have been torturous.

Headed out to LaSalle Lake with Kyle to catch some fishies. We were slightly successful in quantity, but size was lacking with most being cat fish of this scale.

First fish of the year was a whopper.

This was pretty sweet. Huge flock of some pelican type bird.

Biggest fish of day, not saying much. He liked to swallow hooks and did not make it.

End of a long day

Got off work at eleven last night and after getting home decided I'd take a couple night shots. Here's what I ended up with...

Right across street

This house is half a block from my place.  It's pretty incredible.  They just finished restoring it end at the of the fall.  Now they started another restoration project just out of frame camera right on another giant house.  Can't wait till they finish that one.  

Less than 24 hrs later, I already have one follower and I'm posting again...I'm really on a roll.  I don't expect this to be an everyday thing, but we'll see.  

I Climbed a Tree

My first blog post.  It was a little intimidating and has taken me a bit to get the courage up...and here we go.

Went down to St. Louis for Easter weekend and enjoyed some warm weather in the country.  A nice relaxing weekend with time for things like climbing trees and taking pictures.  I wish I had a tree I could climb in the city, it's still rather fun even as an adult.  Melanie was kind enough to do a little modeling down on terra firma.  Also made a little video I'll post eventually.  

Here ends my first blog.  I have successfully broken down one barrier in my life.
