Welcome Back...



A couple of Fridays ago El's OB doctor recommended we go back for another 4D Ultrasound. Apparently the last one wasn't complete with enough information regarding Isabella. He was missing important imagery and measurements of her heart, kidneys and spine. Would we have time for another one? You bet your ass. Here she is again in all her glory.

She was a little shy at first covering her face for the first half of the ultrasound, much like the last time. She came around soon enough. By the second half she was giving us good face and not to mention good hands and feet. That's a good girl! It seems readily apparent that she has my nose (sorry El) and El's lips.

In a couple of weeks, I have to drive back to Charleston for El's baby shower thrown by our families and not to mention it'll be our 8th anniversary on Labor Day Weekend so it'll be a double whammy. Can't wait for that lovely 400 mile drive again...

It's About Time...

Over the years Eleanor and I have taken quite a few trips both domestically and abroad. During these trips we always try to capture these moments by dedicating a great bit to photography. I love photography.

Ever since I was a preteen I had always been fond of taking photos of friends, family and events. It was only natural for me to continue exploring my passion for it through high school, college and then my career.

Our home is LOADED with images caught with either my Pentax k1000 35mm, Canon A70 or Nikon 8700. We're running out of room on our walls. What are we gonna do with all these other photos that never made it up?

A coworker of mine recently went to Charleston and Savannah to tour and we got to talking about my love for both of these places. Charleston is where I grew up and first got my taste for design and photography. Savannah is where I resided for a few years to earn my design degree at the Savannah College of Art and Design. We got to talking about photography and I offered up one of my favorite photos from there and she came up witht hebrilliant idea of...

...posting a photoblog of my best stuff. Why didn't I think of that??? So the gauntlet has been thrown down. Will I maintain this blog along with my other blog That Design Guy? We'll see.

What do I do with another blog besides posting some of my best photos? I've entertained the idea of possibly selling my work online or physically to interested parties. Will it take off? I don't know, but it'll be worthwhile to try...

So here it is. Check it out. Let me know what you think. Thanks for the interest.
