First moon of the new year...

The title explains it all.

A little credit...

This is always nice to see:

This is next to a giant art installation I was commissioned to do a few years ago. I recently had to stop by the building it's housed in (NYLO in Plano, TX), so it was nice to see the artwork again. I have a similar installation hanging in Warwick, RI that I'd love to see up on the wall. I've never seen that one displayed in real life... just photos of the art hanging.

Chicken Fried Steak?!?

This year hasn't been the best year ever. It was tough for everyone. However, there were plenty of shining moments... Sometimes, I just have to sit back and consider myself lucky. I'm doing what I want to do in life - and I'm making money at it. I'm not stuck in a cubicle. I'm doing what I always thought I would be doing. It was a tough year, but it was still good.

The perfect example? Right here:

Isn't it just cool that I get paid a lot of money to go take a photo of a chicken fried steak?!? That just doesn't happen every day. I'm lucky to have clients like D Magazine. I pay my bills with my camera, getting to see and do all sorts of fun things.

OK, so a chicken fried steak photo may not be as cool as some of the album covers or rock concerts that I've shot, but it was still fun to me! And, it is a whole lot better than getting minimum wage to cook the chicken fried steak!!!
