Such A Gomer

From the urban dictionary: gomer: 1. a stupid oaf, a social reject I love watching The Andy Griffith Show with my kids. There are always good lessons. The episode where Gomer Pyle joined the Marines came on the other day, and it’s one of my favorites. As I considered my own takeaways from the show, ...

I Want To Listen To Vinyl Records

I’ve been thinking about buying a record player lately. That’s right, good ‘ole vinyl. I’m not sure what got me thinking that direction, but the more I consider it, the more I want one. It might be the popularity of vinyl lately, or the fact that I hang around with too many hipsters. Or both ...

Tales From The Road

It was short notice and unexpected, but I got a call tonight to shoot some “retired” hockey pros. They were in need of a few marketing shots for their up and coming podcast called Tales From The Road. I met them at the hockey rink and got a few action shots, some of them relaxing ...

Memories

The memory is a funny thing. I came across this spot while walking the dog this morning. Next to these trees when I was 6 or 7 years old, I was playing and lost the pocket knife my grandpa had recently given me. I can still remember the feelings of fun with my friends in ...

Lost Without My Smartphone

Last week I sent away my smartphone to Samsung. The week before, it had begun to overheat and destroy my batteries, so I sent it in for repair. I knew I had become used to having a continuous connection to the world, but I had no idea how bad it really was. This morning I ...

The Sting Of Death

Death has once again visited out family. We really wish he would never visit, but really have no reason to expect him not to. Death visits us all, prepared or not. It’s part of being alive in this world, eventually it ends.  My wife Becky’s grandfather Bill Amandus passed away this week. If you’re more ...
