On all my computers I have a program called X3Watch set up. It keeps watch on what I view on the internet and sends a list of questionable sites to my accountability partner once a week.
Imagine my surprise this week when my report showed I had looked at a spreadsheet of questionable nature. Pornographic spreadsheets? [...]

Take the time to make it right
Despite being a small studio, I get emails every day from people looking to work with us, either in design or photography. One thing I’ve noticed is how people don’t take the time to make sure the email is spell checked. I know it’s a small thing, but if you send me an email full [...]

Blogging habits
Over the weekend my mom commented I hadn’t been writing on my blog as much lately. I got to thinking about why and became interested in the blogging habits of others.
Often times when I go through challenging periods, I fall on one of two sides. On one side, blogging becomes an outlet for me to [...]

Mad Church Designer
I received an email yesterday from Chris at Zondervan, letting me know an ad we’d submitted has been chosen to market Anne Jackson’s new book Mad Church Disease.
I have to give all credit to my friend David. I’d originally seen the contest via Anne’s blog and didn’t do anything for it. After David sent me [...]

Self-control
Two big things I’m working on this year are losing weight and getting out of debt. As I ponder on these things I realize my focus should be self-control. If I just had more self-control I wouldn’t find myself facing these problems.
What would my day look like if I was 40 pounds lighter and [...]

One of those days
Yesterday was just one of those days.
I had to be on the road by 6:45 for some client meetings. In the middle of my two-hour drive my nose decides it’s a good time to bleed. As I’m trying to get that all fixed up, my eye decides to get in on the action and grabs [...]

Cody 1, Me 0
I walked in to the room in time to see Becca picking a chocolate cookie up off the floor. She turns on Cody who is standing near by.
“Did you try to hide this cookie?” she asked in her “mom voice.”
He grinned at her cutely but uttered no incriminating words. She stalked towards him.
“You know these [...]

Photography workshop this Saturday

You can find details on costs and exactly what you’ll learn at our site under [...]

Random links – 1/12/09
Here are some random links I came across on Twitter today.
Hitler versus Windows Vista.
A man tries to pay his bill with a drawing of a spider.
Growing up Star Wars. And awesome Flickr pool of kids growing up with Star Wars.
Another nerdy link, Star Wars re-imagined for World War II.
A look at the features of the [...]

Bridal Show Thoughts – January ‘09 Edition
Here’s a video of tour of our booth from this year. Sorry for the shaky video, I was in a hurry to shoot it before the brides arrived. Here are some other thoughts after the show.
I said this last show and it held true again, it seems like almost half the brides we talked to [...]

Praying the angles
Over the last two days we had our big bridal show of the year. This is the one that we’ll probably book most of the year for weddings. I thought it might be interesting to do a quick post about how I pray for something like this. So here are the various angles I prayed [...]

Virtually real friends
Jim Drake was nice enough to link to me today when he listed his friends he’s made through Twitter in the last year. The point of the post was to show that you can use technologies like Twitter and blogging to make real friends…even if you never meet them.
Now, Jim and I have met so [...]

Collaborative creativity
Being a freelancer means I do most creative work on my own. Occasionally when I get to work on a project that involves other creative people, it’s like a breath of fresh air.
There’s just something amazing about sitting around a table, or in my case a Campfire chat room, and discussing creative work.
There is no [...]

Great ideas rule, and spec work still sucks
Early this week I came across a design contest for Anne Jackson’s new book Mad Church Disease.
What they are looking for is a design of a full-page ad to run in Neue Quarterly magazine. I took one look at the contest, reminded myself I why I don’t like spec work and moved on with my [...]
