Adam With Eve – Part 2
continued from here Among the many rain-like drops falling from Eve as she emerged from the pool, a single drop, a little larger than the others, caught Adam’s eye. He studied it in the instant that it existed, a life in the eyes of God, he imagined. A Truth came to him cloaked in a vision. As the drop fell, he could see it speeding up faster and faster before reaching... Read More
Payoff
These bobcat snowplows look even more bad-ass in 6 inches of snow, but no one seems to remember where the keys are, I guess. Read More Read More
Base, foul and annoying
A lesser man might take to his blog to complain about his coworkers. The total and complete lack of work ethic might bother this man. Seeing them playing video games all day while this man slaves away at the less glamorous aspects of photography might make this man cringe and beg for mercy. This lesser man might point out the base, foul and annoying aspects of some of his... Read More
The Adventures of Jon Hillenbrand
My mom forwarded this story to me that I wrote when I was 8 years old… THE ADVENTURES OF JON HILLENBRAND One day I climbed up my tree and saw a race track. I was there yesterday. I was looking at my racing car. The racing car was red and had a stripe down the middle of it. My friends were tuning the engine. I was getting my suit on. Then the race was... Read More
Anticipation
Sometimes you preposition snow plows when the forecast calls for 5-8 inches of snow. In Chicago, this is a good practice. Read More Read More
THE YEAR IN PHOTOS – 2011
In 2011, I shot more than 20,000 photos, keeping around 17,000 of them, at 343 photo shoots (not including physician headshots). Someone in my office suggested that I do a, “Photos of the Year,” but narrowing down 17,000+ photos to 24 or so that are the best is maybe too difficult for me to accomplish in one or two afternoons. So, I’ve narrowed it down to just... Read More
The Missing Ingredient
There are many things in this world that are almost perfect. Pringles, for example, would be perfect if they satiated you. Unfortunately, you crave more the more you eat which, lucky for Pringles, keeps you purchasing can after delicious can. My sister used to joke that they were laced with Addicto, a secret additive which made you crave them equally the instant after you... Read More
A Day in the Life
Recently, the town I live in held a small photo contest on facebook. They asked local photographers to shoot “A Day in the Life of Evanston”. I thought this could be a good idea if people participated. So I put the date into my calendar and set myself up to take some shots. During the week prior to the magic date, I thought of several ideas that would say, “Evanston,”... Read More
Kellogg Reunion Video
I recently shot some video at a photo shoot with my new Nikon D3S camera. The quality of the images is great. I just need to return to my video production habits which are a bit rusty. This particular video was shot at 720p and then finalized by the editor at 1080p which made the video pretty grainy. The quality of the original footage is amazing. Read More Read More
Taffy Apple Day
Today I photographed Taffy Apple Day in the cafeteria at work. I have no deep thoughts about this. It was simply a quick little shoot. Nothing to report here. On the other side of the cafeteria, they are trying to get coffee addicts to stop using 4 million Styrofoam cups a year across the hospital system (4 hospitals). So they are offering that people instead purchase... Read More
What I Can Do
If you are too weak to walk, I’ll lift you on my shoulders. If you are too tired to laugh, I’ll sing you to sleep. If you are scared of your nightmares, I’ll conquor your demons. If you are hungry for contact, I’ll fill you with love. If your shoulders are shaking, my coat will fit you. If you’re longing for feedback, I was raised by a mom and two... Read More
Sing me to sleep
I have a song in my heart that I like to listen to. Maybe sometime I’ll whisper it to you from my lips to your lips and that song will sit in your heart as well. Read More
Still Waters
Today is my birthday. One of the traditions my family has on birthdays is to give everyone at the table a small present. I think because my parents were raising three kids, it was a way of reducing the amount of jealousy and door slamming among the non-birthday kids after all that sugar and no presents. So in keeping with that tradition, I’m giving all of you a small present... Read More
Bring on the Cycling Dawn
Tragedy, joy and all manner of experience befall the individual in the night, for what occurs under the purview of the moon can seldom be explained entire in the plain sight of the sun. Is the night stronger? Maybe the night isn’t stronger as much as we are weaker at night from being brought up to not fear the day. Look at how we are taught…alleys are always... Read More
Underwater Diving
Well, after some time away I’ve started working on a few details on my mod for Arma2, Underwater Diving. I revised the diving computer and added and removed some features. It now times your dives, displays ambient water pressure, displays depth and records your maximum depth reached, indicates a dive ceiling where you need to wait to decompress (if needed), and it has oxygen...
