Change your view – Eat a baby

Here I am sitting in a plane, a different plane than the one I was sitting in a few hours ago.  This one is supposed to be headed from Minnesota to New Jersey, but currently it sitting on a tarmac, making its way slowly in a line of airplanes to a spot where it will [...]

Ain’t got twenty years to heal

It is kind of weird.  If you would have asked me a few weeks ago if I would be visiting the East coast again this soon, I would have probably guessed no. I’m on a plane into Newark New Jersey, and I’m starting a trip to see some family and meet some old friends. If [...]

Next Stop New Jersey

Well, the desk concept is almost in the bag.  There are a few more issues to work on.  I am getting good at Google Sketchup.  In the mean time I have decided to take a break and join up with some family and friends in New Jersey.  Looks like we are taking a little road [...]

Fun in Dharma’s Kitchen – A Night of Color

I learned something about myself recently… I think I really enjoy taking pictures of food… I wish you could see some of these blown up.  These were really meant to see in full size. I know they are kind of dark. The darkness comes from my preference for natural light.  Flash kind of turns me [...]

Improvised Instrument Love – Summer Festival Style

It you have read this blog long enough you will have figured out that I have a musical instrument fetish.  These days I spend more time trying to make noise that sounds like music then I actually spend listening to music.  This may or may not be a good thing, but it has been so [...]
