Husband, father, photographer, avid (but not particularly adept) fisherman and outdoorsman, and approximately two drinks away from (angrily) screaming my Lefty Progressive Opinions from the rooftop.
I used old pie crust from the freezer so it shrank and tore and generally turned out as a holiday appropriate chicken Franken-pot pie.

It looks like he's begging for you to be his Angel of Death and release him from the pain.

It tasted amazing though!

My youngest, getting her senior pictures done by dear old dad. Asked her if she wanted someone else to do them, but she insisted that I do it.

Honestly, I'm glad. I did my oldest too, and they are both some of my favorite photos.

Classic moment, buttoning up the dress. I'm a sucker for moody light.

Sometimes the groom wants to look pretty, too.

Wish I could take credit for Mocha the Flower Girl's pose, but she did that on her own while I posed her mom. Turned out better than anything I was going to do.

That's even worse, in my opinion. All they're going to hear is about how great he was and how he just wanted to reach the youth.

They won't know all the other crap he was about.

Only had a cell phone camera for my remote camping trip up to Craig Lake, but I think it turned out pretty good nonetheless.

NOTHING TO LEARN FROM HISTORY FOLKS! Move along!

Even they're not immune to the AI trend, apparently. But I'll give them a try anyway.

Not mine, but someone off the fishing gear Reddit tried to order a new Shimano reel and... Reconsidered.

One of my new shirts I'll be wearing around my little farm town in mid Michigan this summer. It's fun to see confused faces.

Your sketch showed up on my feed next to this story. Unrelated, but somehow totally related.

I'm social media dumb and don't know how to link this directly.

Even then, only temporarily. Been seeing this poem from Sam Pink floating around the Internet for the last few days, for some reason. Feel like it's relevant.

Cliffs of Nuess, NC. Took the family camping and there was severe flooding that year. But it sure was pretty.

My sister-in-law during the last months of her second pregnancy. I'd like to do more maternity photos, being right up there with wedding photos for joyful emotion. Plus, round bellies make cool shadows.

I don't do a lot of infant or baby pictures, as a rule. I LOVE babies, more than most, but I want to play and not work. Blair here is the daughter of my best friends since high school, and is my favorite Blair.

She's 6 now, but still looks like this in my head.
