I got this idea from someone… 🙂 Frankly, my photos are not on her level. Katya’s (aka Slight Clutter) images are as stunning and brilliant as she is. Check out her series of posts listing her top 10 photos of the year. They are amazing. I too have my favorites of the year and I figured they would be worth… Read more →

Happy Holla-Days!
Over the weekend, K and I had quite the festive time. On Friday night, we went down to 19th Street in the Heights to the Dickens in the Heights holiday celebration. We drank hot chocolate at Cricket’s Creamery, walked in the shops, watched some bellydancers and even met up with good ol’ St. Nick. Mainly, we took a lot of… Read more →
Someone Bought My Photos
I’ve taken lots of pictures and even had a couple used for various things. But, today was different. I got an email via Flickr from someone at a local commercial real estate company saying they would like to purchase one of my photos to hang in their office! They ended up buying four of them supposedly to blow up to… Read more →
Photos from the Weekend
I finally updated my Flickr photostream with some pics from Glenwood Cemetary. It’s such a beautiful place and while I’m not one to normally hang out around graves with my camera, it was this month’s Assignment Houston. I also got a nice shot of my mom from Thanksgiving. A few examples are below. Read more →

Online Karaoke: Beat It!
According to Stereogum, there is this cool weird unfortunate website called SingShot.com that allows you to sing karaoke-style with your favorite songs and even, God help us, record your own versions and put them online in what is clearly an attempt to test a new torture device for enemy combatants on unsuspecting web surfers. Case. In. Point. Read more →
A Very Chucky Christmas
I stopped off at Kroger to pick up a couple things for my dinner as I am want to do when hungry. On my way out, there was a display of Christmas cards. This same display had been up for a number of weeks in yet another strange and unfortunate example of holidays-too-early syndrome, but that isn’t really important…not for… Read more →
orange is in on iTunes
Sweet! My band, orange is in, is now available for download via iTunes. How cool is that? (answer: very) So, tell your friends to download it already! Sheesh. 🙂 Read more →
Band Name or Comfortable Footwear?
Freudian Slippers The name is brilliant and, as a gift, these would cause at least 100 laughs before they were thrown into the back of the closet never to be seen again. Wearing Freud on my feet brings me concern about the fetish-like quality of these slippers, comedy aside. Sticking my toes into the back of the head of the… Read more →
