prairie grass

Here is a completely untouched frame from my photo walk that occured during my son's soccer practice. The light was so sweet that night.

Sorry for the long delay in posting. With hectic work schedules and a round of freakish spring frost, photo making has taken a back seat.

More to come!

My baby turned one yesterday. I don't care who you are, kids and cake is funny...and damn cute!

photo set: signs of spring

I've learned to shoot photos during winter months. That suited me well - lots of high contrast moments, subjects tending toward isolation, stalking the world in black & white. You know, all the introverted, reflective crap.

But now it's spring. Whole different ball game. Whole different sport.

Yesterday I tried to go out, drive around, and find some inspiration - standard winter modus operandi. I don't know about you, but I can't find frames of springtime to shoot from the driver's seat of a 2001 minivan. I have to walk. After I had come home discouraged (I never even got out of the van), I strapped my youngest to my back and we walked Liberty for 1.5 hours. Fantastic. Spring is here, and it was only by walking up to it that I got to find it.

I'm not a botanist, so I don't know the names of anything I shot yesterday. But, boy, do they look pretty!

scripture prints

Part of the work that I have posted for sale are the eight prints below. Each print is accompanied by a passage of scripture (except mother+child). I hope they are a non-cheesy way that folks can keep scripture and theological truths in front of them in a helpful way.

All prints in this series start at $18.49, and if you would like it framed, you will find no better quality than what the good folks at ImageKind can provide.

Click here (or any of the prints) to access the gallery.

consider (matthew 6:28-30)

And why do you worry about clothing?
Consider the flowers of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these.
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?

The only argument Ed and Tonya ever had was whether or not to buy a queen bed or a king.


Sophie began to understand that a step for step tribute to "Thriller" was going to be harder than she had originally thought.


At that moment, Patterson felt like the world was created just for him.


"So I told him that if he wanted me to fight crime with him, he needed to get me a suit that didn't make me look so fat."
"For real, girl."

the fifth day (genesis 1:22)

God blessed them, saying,
"Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas,
and let birds multiply on the earth."
And there was evening and there was morning,
the fifth day.

obstinate (isaiah 48:4)

Because I know that you are obstinate,
and your neck is an iron sinew.

Look! He is coming with the clouds;

let the rivers clap (psalm 98:8)

Let the rivers clap their hands,
and let the hills ring out with joy before the Holy One,
who is coming to judge the earth.
