The evening waned in colors only the sky could make. The sun, low enough to light the undersides of clouds, hovered just over the horizon. Reds and blues and golds streaked everywhere, making the scene look like a watercolor abstraction. My wife and I sat on the porch and marveled.

pumpkin spice
Teddy entered the cafe and grimaced. He didn’t like pumpkin spice, and here it was on full display. From the pumpkin-spiced lattes to the pumpkin-spiced doughnuts. He stepped to the counter and ordered green tea. It was then that he noticed his co-worker had beaten him there. Charles saw him and waved him over. TeddyContinue reading “pumpkin spice”
She was in love…
…but not with her husband. He knew it too, and instead of raging like a lunatic, he let it smolder within him. She tried to lie about it, but her eyes gave her away. Those same eyes that said “I do.” That’s what he couldn’t fathom. He poured everything into their marriage, every dime, everyContinue reading “She was in love…”
I was asked to write a passage…
…that employed emotion. I actually followed up on one of my Quickies, because it seemed germane. Take a read, tell me what you think. She knew it was coming. Ever since she got that text saying “We need to talk.” She continued her lesson to a class of fifth graders, anxious for the day toContinue reading “I was asked to write a passage…”
Here we are…
…another Friday. Ahhh, the weekend. A time for revelry, to slough off the week of work, annoying co-workers, and endless demands. Time to kick off your shoes and dance in your underwear. Then go out and drink til you’re in a better state. Good times ahead, bad times behind you. Let’s GO! Oh, right, mostContinue reading “Here we are…”
The Biz
Just got the new business up and running, and I can’t wait to be rolling in cash. Well, maybe not rolling. One can hope for the best. This shutdown is still holding things up, but I’m hoping for the best. Photography really is a passion for me. I used to do some really cool stuffContinue reading “The Biz”
I’m on my way
So my partner and I have begun our new business. Portrait photography in the time of Covid-19. I feel like there’s a book there, maybe. I’ll think on it, unless someone beats me to it. So we’ve begun, and I’m so glad to get started. I’ve been in this house too long. It’s driving meContinue reading “I’m on my way”
Photos, photos, photos
I can’t wait. My partner and I are starting our business, and we plan to clean up. We’re getting clients, we’re getting models, we’re doing ads. Good times. That’s all I have right now. I’ll keep you posted (get it? cuz it’s a post. And yes, I crack myself up).
Photos!!!
Last post I told you I was shooting again. Here are some of the shots. Man, it feels good to be behind the camera again. I thought it would never happen for a while there. This corona virus has pretty much killed my business. This is also the second time President Trump was directly responsibleContinue reading “Photos!!!”
I took some pictures today!
I don’t know if I told you (of course I did), but I’m also a photographer. Took some pictures today of some friends. It felt good because, thanks to this virus, I haven’t been able to get out and shoot. Now for the hard part, editing. It shouldn’t take long though, in fact it justContinue reading “I took some pictures today!”
