Today begins my seventh year that I’m working with Bill on the Spelling Bee. It’s been a job we started doing back when we both worked at Scripps, and even though we both left that place years ago, we’ve found a nice little sidejob taking photos for all these newspapers across the country (and world, […]
Besides kicking some ass and posting my first sub-90 golf round of the year, I spent most of the Memorial Day weekend engaged in what the wife and I called the Scorched Earth campaign. This is our first Spring in the house, and so we were curious how quickly the local flora would consume plants […]
Yep, that is someone’s shoe partially consumed by the Metro Center escalator. Now, when I was a kid, my grandmother once chided me quite harshly in public because I was one of those kids who thought escalators were fun and should be played on all the time when parents are shopping for useless crap.

So yesterday I smoked three racks of ribs. Jamaican jerk BBQ style. Damn tasty if you ask me. Plus, everyone there seemed equally satisfied with the results. In any case, it took no time for a few of the participants to get uber-sleepy. It may have been that they started watching the Miss USA pageant, […]
One of my best photo experiences ever coincided with being in NYC and shooting one of my favorite things to watch, skateboarding. Kelly and I went to NYC a couple years ago and went with Eric to the Brooklyn Banks, this kickass spot under the Brooklyn Bridge that is a mecca for skaters. I got […]
