Eric’s & Sara’s skills combined
Just a fun post to enjoy -
With all the cheesecake baking, homemade garlic & curry hummus, and tonight’s seared salmon dinner I have to brag on Sara’s culinary creativity. I mentioned turning our back deck into a neighborhood cafe tonight, especially as the spring weather brings grilling back to the dinner deck. I loved eating [...]
First Week of the New Year & Decade
The first week of the year and decade was, in a word, nonstop. Avalanche of snowfall in northern Indiana. Cabin fever. Car repair. More cabin fever. And lots of time with these two blue eyed kiddos. What better opportunity for a dad and photographer to spend time with and photograph two of his favorite people [...]

My hope and resolution for 2010 this New Year’s Eve:
Friends to act like friends,

Of nostalgia and bulky metal cameras
(Fans and friends on Facebook have probably read bits about this project along the way… join the fun)
Early last December a friend of mine posted photos of a classy Argus C-44R 35mm camera. Great 1950s design, shiny metal camera body, very clean looked like a fantastic find! It reminded me of a camera I had [...]
Happy Christmas (music!)
Just in time for the holiday weekend and my personal preferred date to start hearing Christmas music (if it hasn’t snowed yet) -
“O Holy Night” by Seven Day Jesus. Their encore song from February 1, 1998. The song was recorded for the Happy Christmas compilations, my favorite Christmas songs ever.
Live performance has a [...]
Madeline 1 week old
I’m convinced there’s nothing more peaceful than a sleeping baby. Madeline was busy reinforcing this conviction with all her newborn naps this past week. After Thanksgiving flew by it just occurred to me that today marks her first week out here with her family. I grabbed the camera with the loudest shutter I could find [...]
Read More..>>Hunt for RED NOVEMBER – Rockfest 6
This Saturday, November 14th is the Underground Cafe’s final concert.
After 8 years of local live music, concerts, and friendships the Underground Cafe is celebrating one last show on the South Side of South Bend. If you know me even a little you know this has been my second home and second family since it’s beginning. [...]
Thank you, veterans
I thought about it this morning, but I can’t count the friends, former schoolmates, and acquaintances I know that have served in the armed forces in the last decade. More names keep coming to mind. You know who each of you are, and your service and sacrifices have not gone unnoticed. Thank you for serving.
The [...]
Thankful Thoughts – Weekend Style

I’m thankful for friends. Friday night the guys from the Underground Cafe ran production for one of our favorite returning bands, Haste the Day. Always a blast to have them in town! Some of the [...]
