MC-11 Works With EF-S Lenses
I’ve used Canon cameras since 1996 when I picked up a Canon AE-1 at a second-hand store. When I got into digital, it’s been all Canon. The need has come to invest more in video in my side business, and Canon video just hasn’t been cutting it for me. I finally pulled the trigger and…

An Outdoor Weekend
This weekend was spent mostly in the outdoors. We watched a movie in the field behind our church, we hiked into a high mountain lake, and we had church outside. I may have gotten a little more sun than usual, but totally worth it. Friday Night – Vineyard Boise Movie Night Each year, the Vineyard…

Popsicle Stick Ninja Stars
I grew up firmly in the middle class. Definitely not wealthy, but certainly not poor either. We had plenty of toys and Lego to play with, but some of the best toys of my childhood were the ones my dad made for us. One of those toys that I look fondly back on were the…

Willow Creek Campground
My wife had an outing this weekend, so the kids and I want camping Friday night. We loaded up and headed past Arrowrock Reservoir to see if we could find a good spot. Willow Creek Campground is the first good one past the point where Arrowrock turns into river. The weather was gorgeous but hot…

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,…

My 40th Year
Wait a minute. I’m not turning 40! It’s my 39th birthday. That means I’m starting my 40th year alive today. I’ve seen it coming for a few weeks now. My wife and kids seem to age me in their minds and refer to me as a 39 or 40 year old long before I hit…

Kingsman: The Golden Circle by Matthew Vaughn
I joined some friends for a birthday celebration at the movies. The birthday boy chose Kingsman: The Golden Circle. In case you don’t read further, I’ll cut to the chase. When the movie was over, my now older friend apologized for choosing this movie. Enough said. However, the movie was not entirely without redeeming qualities.…

Dunkirk by Christopher Nolan
In most cases, a movie not enjoyed is a precursor to a poor review. I did not ENJOY Dunkirk. This does not mean that it was anything less than amazing. In this case, it was spectacular. Many movies set out to entertain and give people an escape, some are there to tell a story. This…

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…

I’d love to tell you all about myself… but isn’t that what the blog posts are all about? Part of the fun is that I’m revealing a small part of who I am with everything I publish. That’s a little scary when you consider that the government probably reads my posts more than the people…
