I’m a passionate guy. When I enjoy something, I try to enjoy it to the fullest. And that goes for just about everything in my life. As a kid, more than anything else, I wanted to play in the NBA. Seriously. I used to play 6+ hours a day in the summer, working on techniques...

Portland, Oregon: The Endgame
T-minus 80-something days till my wife and I make the trek down to SoCal. We’ll be there for at least a year, but hopefully (depending on my job situation…and hers) we’ll be there for a few more. But finally knowing that we’ll be leaving, and there actually being a real date for the move,...

Why Photographers Suck
Warning: Stereotypes will be propagated in this post. We had a lot of problems with our wedding photographer. A lot of problems. And the more I talk to others trying to get their wedding logistics in place, it seems like we’re not alone. Whether it’s taking forever getting prints back, showing up late to shoots–or...
