  Light Letters

  A client request recently included “can we see something with maybe light painting?”. I photographed the alphabet then used the individual letters to put the words together.
  All you need is a camera that you can control the shutter speed with, a tripod and a led flashlight.

  April Class

  04.05.10 | Permalink

  In keeping with my one learning something new each month deal, for April I attended a handgun class. Having never even seen a real gun up close, it was quite the experience.
  Three hours later, I learned about safety, the basic mechanics of a glock, aiming (don’t close one eye), proper handling and then fired off [...]

  Infused Vodkas

  03.23.10 | Permalink

  I have been into really tasty cocktails lately, so decided to try to infuse my own vodkas. I like vanilla vodka, but many brands taste too artificial. I need to remember to make sure it is “infused” and not just “flavored”.
  We had an excellent drink at Frank in Austin recently and the first batches of [...]

  Pit Stop

  02.17.10 | Permalink

  A few months ago, I discovered Gourmet Magazine. Yes, I know, that is like “discovering” the Beatles. I’ve been getting more and more into cooking over the years and the magazine just sounded intimidating. One day I just decided I was worth it and I bought an issue. Of course, that happened to be the [...]

  Amigurumi

  One of my goals this year is to not quit. I took an amigurumi class last year and failed miserably. It took me most of the class to understand (partly) how to make the first knot.
  So I mustered up some courage and signed myself up for another class at Sew Crafty. Two and a half  [...]

  More photography is on the list of things to do this year.
  There have been some freezing temperatures lately, so this weekend we bundled up and took our cameras out for a walk around town.

  The 2010 Project

  01.01.10 | Permalink

  While 2009 was a great year for work and clients (of which I am very grateful for), I decided that 2010 should focus at least a little energy on some personal development as well as keeping up the business side. I never seem to really stick with New Year’s Resolutions, so I am instead creating [...]
