I try to never go anywhere without my camera. It provides me with the ability to capture a moment that might otherwise be lost forever. How many times do we throw away opportunities to “capture” moments in time. It might be as simple as cuddling with your spouse an extra five minutes after the [...]

Sign of the times?

They say a picture tells a thousand words. This one speaks volumes about the kind of week this is shaping up to be. It seems that I never stop typing…typing…typing. Writer’s block is not an option.

There is nothing like an Oklahoma sunset to make you reflect on your life. The broad sky and the rich red and orange hues inspire like nothing else. At times it seems as though the sky is on fire. After a long, frustrating day a beautiful sunset puts it all in perspective for me. Whatever [...]

This was taken on the coast of Ireland in 2003. I really enjoy the Emerald Isle. It’s a lot like Oklahoma. Friendly people willing to help you, lots of places for food and fellowship, and a distinct disregard for traffic laws!
Good morning Oklahoma!

This blog is first and foremost a requirement of my “Blogs: New independent media” class at the University of Central Oklahoma. That said, I fully intend to make the most of the “independent” part of that title. I believe that in some way everyone “performs” be it in writing, song, theater, or…life! I want this [...]
