Happy Independence Day U.S. of A.! No one wants to sit at the computer and read blogs on the Fourth of July so I figured I would share a photo journal of all my past fireworks and flag photography. Enjoy your barbecues, have fun with your family, oooh and aaah at the fireworks, and remember…

The Hunt for Heron
Yesterday was just too gorgeous of a day to stay indoors. I felt as though I had been neglecting my camera for quite some time, so I brought it along as my family and I went to play near the creek. I ventured down the creek to see what wildlife I could find. As always, there were…
Childish Chalk Talk
“All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” -Pablo Picasso I came across a video of an artist, Ruth Oosterman, painting a picture using her toddler’s doodle as her layout. You can check out the video at the bottom of this post. I thought it was a really…

Do It in the Dark!
Yep…I did it in the dark. I drew in my sketchbook with no lights on and it was crazy! (get your mind out of the gutter, perverts :P) I have a magical sketchbook entitled “Drawing is Magic” by John Hendrix. It is kind of like a guide book for artists. I have been trying to rediscover myself…
Oh, To Be King…
I have a strong connection with big cats. Lions, tigers, and cougars are among my favorites. They have a great power and strength behind them. Lions, in my opinion, live one of the toughest lifestyles imaginable. The lionesses are constantly on the hunt for food. Working as a team, so in tune with each other….
