Nature…The Little Things

October 17, 2008 – 8:11 pm

As we started our first day off on Route 66, we stopped at Route 66 State Park which is in the old Times Beach area - Eureka. If you haven’t been, you should. You can go into the visitor center and view tons of memorabilia. However, the bridge going across the Meramec is now one lane only, and unless you want to ride bikes or horses, there isn’t much else to see, history wise. So, we arrived early, and shot on the bridge. This one, this one made me smile.

I think about the intricacy of how a spider weaves a web. Fascinating. There were a lot of them.

Also, Amy (my amazing web designer that put my coding to work if you’re interested) told me I can go a bigger size, so I’m working on that and we may modify the blog a little more. I miss my huge images!

I’m Back!

October 13, 2008 – 10:35 am

As I sit her uploading HUGE files, rasterizing artwork, and other catchup stuff, I figured I’d better say “hi”. I’m back in town! I created new business hours for myself - well, office hours. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. I need some noromalcy in my life and with photography, it allows me to shoot mornings and evenings without being tied to the office during those times. When you own your own business, you realize quickly how things can get out of control and you’re soon working well over 80 hours a week. Not cool. I need my own time, it’s valuable and it’s time I did something about it.

Anyhoo - as I catch up on things, you can start watching my Flickr account here. I will soon be posting my daily journals about the amazing road trip I spent the past two weeks. If you are just now reading this, it was on Route 66, and then i-10 through Phoenix on the way home. A quick shot of “home” to me.

A Few Photos

September 29, 2008 – 1:56 pm

While we break this afternoon in Dallas I have edited a few photos from Andie’s laptop. I still can’t believe Baby Mac was ready on Friday, AFTER I left town. Oh well.

This is the Round Barn in Arcadia, OK:

And a few shots from the Oklahoma City Memorial - which really was an emotional site:

You can always view my Flickr stream here - and I’ll continue to do some uploads to the blog via my iPhone on the trip with phone pictures. We leave tomorrow for our OK City to Amarillo trek.

Good Evening

September 28, 2008 – 7:58 pm

We’re in Dallas through tomorrow. Trading off cars here at Andie’s house. Last night, we stayed at Kathy’s ranch, and this morning we took some pictures. I thought this was so pretty in the morning light with the flare. Wish I had all his ears in this picture. Anyway, it feels good to just chill tonight. Long, long journey coming up!

Picture!

September 25, 2008 – 1:47 pm

Hey all! A quickie blog post from me before I leave in the morning for Springfield, MO via Rte 66.

First off, I think I’m already tired. HA HA. I must adjust my sleep schedule for sure!

Secondly, unfortunately, I have to leave Inspiration Lane. I love the girls there, but contract changes are in effect on the 1st that I can’t meet due to my already crazy schedule. So, I’m working on an alternative for when I return to sell my digi scrapbook goods. Just keep watching. My store will close there on the 1st. I should have some new info for you all when I get back home. Be sure to keep watching what the creative team is doing here.

And, yesterday, we hosted Lollipop Smiles portraits here. I photographed five lovely people! Stay tuned on those proofs throughout the trip (or when I get home depending on how crazy things get on the road). Here is my new shot (you can see Andie’s and our together shot on the F2 Chicks blog here).
