Top 10 engagement photos for 2008

Here are 10 of my favorite engagement photos from 2008 in no particular order.

It’s ironic to me to shoot in the beautiful Zilker park and then not use any of the amazing color. This one, however, really grabbed my attention in black and white.

This was one of the first shots of the first engagement session [...]

My quarterly Twitter post

Time for my a-few-times-a-year follow me on Twitter post. If you’re not using Twitter, you probably should be. If you are, you can follow me here.
I may not always follow you back because at the end of the day I just can’t keep up with everyone. However, I love to talk to people on Twitter. [...]

The problem with readers

When I started this blog I had exactly zero readers. After one year of intense writing and lots of growth, I have somewhere in the neighborhood of five readers. While my readership has grown a bit since then it creates issues. Like the fact that you guys actually read what I write and expect me [...]

Your odds of surviving the zombie apocalypse

Being a fan of zombie movies, and having enjoyed a few lately, I thought I’d present you with a scientific look at your odds of surviving the zombie apocalypse. You should ask your friends to objectively tell you which category you land in. This will give you your odds of survival and let you know [...]

The eyeballing game

Designers (well, anyone actually), go give this game a shot. You play through it three times and it gives you your average score. Lowest score wins. I managed a 4.18.
What’s the best you could do?

You need to watch this video

Zack Arias posted a video today at Scott Kelby’s that you need to watch.
I don’t care if you are a photographer or not. This video has a lot to say about life and how we spend it. Go take the time to watch it.

The digital Bible

For two weeks now I’ve been really busy and haven’t had much time to post. But I wanted to quickly ask something. It occurred to me on Sunday that I haven’t used a physical Bible in a long, long time. I primarily use the Bible app on my iPhone (by the fine folks at YouVersion) [...]

We’re totally screwed

The following quote was from a Yahoo Financial story today:
“Investors looked past another bleak jobs report and hung their hopes on Washington’s ability to help the economy.”
My thought? We are completely and totally screwed. Last I checked, Congress had an approval rating that was a single digit. Hoping they’ll fix it is like hoping the [...]

The 17-hour days

In the recent past I worked 15+ hours almost every day of the week. I had to in order to keep up with the mountain of work. Being a small business means I do everything.
And then I stopped. I was getting a lot of work done but was still always behind. My family was suffering [...]

The “J Rule”

Over at Jumpontheloveboat.com I wrote a post about ladies watching action movies with their men. In it I mentioned following the “J Rule” when picking movies. If the name of the hero in the movie starts with a j, it’s a good bet it will be an action-packed movie with a high body-count (the all-important [...]
