Sins of the Parents visited upon their Children
Let’s talk about that song that we all love to hate: “Daughters” by John Mayer: Fathers be good to your daughters Daughters will love like you do Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers So mothers be good to your daughters too – John Mayer, “Daughters” They say that sometimes when you hate something, it’s […]
Houston, we have a problem
I feel like such a piece of garbage lately! I woke up around 1pm today. Same with yesterday. Same with the day before. When I have a project that I’m very interested in, or an important deadline (and when do neither of these conditions apply to me? NEVER), I have a tendency to push my […]
Bang and bad jokes
I went to the gun range with Michelle today. She doesn’t have any experience with hand guns, so we started her on a very tame .22 pistol. I eventually talked her into trying out the .45, she shot once (and I don’t think she was aiming, just gave the trigger a squeeze and held on […]
A fine sabbath
While Thursday and Friday were both high energy, loads of fun days – sunday brought a change of pace. My engagement portrait session cancelled, so I was afforded the opportunity to stay in and work all day long. My sat night adventure didn’t end until about 6 am, so Sunday didn’t begin until about noon. […]
Fantastic advice.

It pays to linger
Last night, I went out with Melissa, Dr. Normy, Kerilyn and Jaron. It being the weekend, I was taking a break from wearing pants. We went to dinner, then to the W lounge. As we pulled up, we saw the infamous limo that meant just one thing… Limo Dave was there! The window rolled down, […]

It has been famously said that your five closest friends will basically predict what kind of life you have. One things is for certain: we are a product of our environment. One of the things that separates humans from the other animals is that we can consciously make changes in our environment in order to […]
Paul Duane’s Angels
My daughters turned a new leaf yesterday! There are times when I want to do activities with them that, in my fatherly opinion, KICK ASS. Often times they do not agree. Example: For the longest time, I have loved building and flying model rockets. A few summers ago, the girls agreed to do it as […]
Microphones, gross babies and humble pie
One of the significant developments in 2011 was my deepening love for the craft of stand up comedy. Podcasts by comic Marc Maron (WTF Podcast) and Adam Carola’s podcast were vital to my intellectual survival during my last year at the Postal Service. I was hired by RoadRunner Records to photograph comedy legend Doug Stanhope […]
85%, cookies and public nudity.
I never have nightmares. Like, EVER. My dreams, if I remember them, usually consist of story lines like going to Walmart to buy loaf of bread. White bread. Not even interesting multi-grain bread. Whitey white white wonder bread. Last night was different. I got in late from a very stressful evening with my family. I […]
