Factoid Numero Dos(that’s #2 for you non-Spanish speakers) I bet you didn’t know that May 19 is quite a day for me. Back at Central Catholic Highschool in 1996 (oh my, that sounds really ancient), when I was a junior in highschool, my group of friends and I were a bit of hellraisers. Back in […]

Wedding Season 2009
It has been back to back weekends that we’ve hit the ROOSH, aka, Russia, Ohio…the undeniably tiny but lovable town of Raider pride. The weekend of May 9th, we headed out there for Lindsey Grogean’s wedding. As a wedding photographer and technology geek, I always pay close attention to innocuous details that I am certain […]
A Letter for Joey
Dear Joey, Someday I hope you can forgive your Uncle Nick and I for forgetting your first birthday, which was yesterday, May 14th.

Return of the Lion
Nick returned home last night at 11:30pm and I flew down 480W to go pick him up. Joyous reunion!

There’s a sense of overwhelmingly relief when your spouse finally in the same country as you. […]
The Concept of "Work"
Anytime I talk about “work” (work being defined as a series of assigned tasks for which you are regularly paid), I’m always met with misunderstanding. Work, clearly, is one of those deep and layered topics that convey class and privilege. I know that. I know that the things I am about to write clash in […]
