Mom: Dad brought these "Pineys" from home. She loved flowers and these were among her favorites.

05-05-2009: A Day in Bloomington, Indiana

2009-05-14T11:13:00.002-05:00

Had a great day in Bloomington--it was simply beautiful.

Catch-up: Building

2009-04-29T08:00:00.003-05:00

While Stage Managing at The Bunbury I caught a shot of the back-side of the building:

Found in a Wal-Mart parking lot:

4-27-2009: For those still looking

2009-04-27T11:20:00.000-05:00

I'm going to post several items (Around 18) from a trip to NYC and other miscellaneous shots over the last bit. I've been overly involved stage managing a show and starting a new job (hey, it's a job) while trying to jump-start a performing career. Not to mention the turmoil of my personal life. In short, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to match the goal of one image a day, but I'm committed to continuing to take pictures as I find it a comfort.

The first are from Easter: which I spent with friends. Beth and her mom.

Peeps on a cake:

03-25-2009: Miss Emily

2009-03-25T20:43:00.003-05:00

Okay, it's not much, but at least I took a picture. Here's Miss Emily one of my favorite people.

03-24-2009: The Road to Morocco

2009-03-25T04:57:00.003-05:00

Killed some time before rehearsal sipping green tea in a Moroccan restaurant.

03-23-2009: Before the Show

2009-03-25T04:50:00.002-05:00

Currently working as a Stage Manager for a local theatre company--time is short, but caught some images backstage and around the theatre just before rehearsal today.

2009-02-16T03:42:00.003-05:00

Sorry, got a lot behind. Spent most of the day going through nearly a week of images. Still missing a day here or there, but wouldn't give this up for money.

02-05-2009: Silly Pictures

2009-02-06T13:15:00.002-05:00

Single digit temperatures and a car that refuses to start drove me to take pictures around my makeshift office:

01-22-2009: Cherokee Park and Big Rock

2009-01-22T23:47:00.003-05:00

I don't know why, but I seem to love shooting around Big Rock in Cherokee Park:

01-19-2009: Shelter From the Cold

On this cold wintery day I took refuge in a coffee shop:

Still trying new things:

01-08-2009: Makeshift Studio

2009-01-08T23:17:00.003-05:00

So, I took an antler, some rosaries, a thrown together light table and tried to get creative:

01-07-2009: Martinsville, Indiana

2009-01-07T21:05:00.003-05:00

01-06-2009: My Piano

2009-01-06T23:45:00.003-05:00

Okay, the weather has been miserable and I need to adapt to indoor shooting. A chance to learn and do something new. To that end, my piano recently saved from exile on the back porch and awaiting some repairs:

01-01-2009: Clouds in Salem, Indiana

2009-01-01T20:00:00.003-05:00

12-29-2008: Guarding Christmas

2008-12-29T23:33:00.003-05:00

The first ornaments of my new Christmas were given by friends and family to keep my tree from being completely bare. The angel is from Cami, the little girl who played Zuzu in the production of "It's a Wonderful Life" that I did at French Lick. Space Ghost and Johnny Quest were given by my brother.

12-28-2008: An Old-Fashioned Christmas Tree

12-27-2008: Under the Bridge

2008-12-28T10:11:00.005-05:00

Lovely False-Spring day and I found myself under the old railroad bridge by the river.

12-26-2008: The Back Yard

2008-12-26T14:03:00.003-05:00

I took advantage of having to walk my brother's dog Maizie and grabbed some shots:

12-23-2008: French Lick

2008-12-24T08:17:00.004-05:00

Sorry for the prolonged absence, but moving, doing a show and cold weather all conspired to push my lazy buttons in terms of the 365 project. My last day in French Lick I tried to capture some of the holiday decorations on display:

2008-11-29T21:31:00.006-05:00

Please don't tell me my center/Christmas candle needs to be white--I know that. I'm not happy that it is a plastic wreath, but I put it together myself--the first time I've had to do that alone. I'm looking forward to the practice of Advent this year.

2008-11-28T22:35:00.001-05:00

11-27-2008: Thanksgiving

10-11-2008: Harvest Homecoming

2008-10-11T19:57:00.003-05:00

Harvest Homecoming is an annual event in my hometown of New Albany, Indiana. Here's a little of the flavor:

10-8 to 10-9-2008: Travel to NYC and Back

2008-10-10T11:18:00.002-05:00

Quick trip to NYC and back via Greyhound and Amtrak. Amtrak is the way civilized people travel--wow! Here's some shots from the trip in no particular order (because it all sort of blurred together. DC, Chicago, NYC, and points in-between):

10-5-2008 to 10-10-2008:Traveling with limited access

2008-10-07T18:15:00.001-05:00

I should be able to post from my travels on 10-10 or 10-11 depending on fatigue from Greyhound. I'm travelling again. Pictures and info upon my return.

10-2-2008: It's a Wonderful Life!

2008-10-03T08:46:00.001-05:00

Rough Day. Didn't get out and had to take camera with me to the "It's a Wonderful Life" rehearsal (I'm Uncle Billy--the drunk, addle-brained relative who loses the $8000 and creates the crisis).

Anyway, here's George and Mary after the dance--if you know the movie, here he's telling her that he'd pull the moon down for her.

We're lucky to have a pretty talented cast (and even luckier that we get paid for our work). The performance is in late December at the French Lick Resort.

10-01-2008: The Yard Again

Stuck in the yard again:

2008-09-29T19:15:00.002-05:00

My father finished restoring this truck for my daughter:

They aren't much, but here's my first attempts at shooting a spider web:

9-26-2008: George Rodgers Clark Memorial Park

2008-09-26T20:48:00.002-05:00

Okay, I'm claiming jet lag for the last two days of inactivity. Went to the George Rodgers Clark Park in Clarksville, Indiana at the site where the "Expedition" began and where GR Clark had his last home. It features a cabin and gardens and a decent view of the river.

Nothing in the cabin (including the cabin) actually belonged to the Clark. However historical pieces and the cabin itself are period. These rifles are vintage:

I should have asked about this peas. They are likely some heritage type of plant:

The bedroom was a little eerie. But I still got a neat shot:

Finally, my favorite from today (and the hunting was excellent):
