Squirreled Again!
This is my second "squirrel" location attempt. I took this image near Boynton Beach, FLA at a park. Obviously, this fellow needed some help easing into that retirement lifestyle that Florida is known for...
Squirrel!
There have been times in my life when my thoughts somewhat drift when being spoke to or even when I'm speaking. On these occasions, which I claim are seldom but friends scoff at my naïve recollection of...
NETL Logo
Back in 1999, the Federal Energy Technology Center was transitioned to the National Energy Technology Laboratory. This occurred fairly quickly and a new logo was needed to be developed to signify its improved status. Branding efforts began with 10 designers taking...
We’re just KIDding!
With all the special birthday videos I have done, some of my favorite sections are those that show off the kids. In this video, I used Martina McBride's "Blessed" as the song to help document them growing up. The pictures were well suited for the music and it was...
How to Train for Dog Sledding
A dear friend of mine decided that she wanted to drive a dog sled in Alaska for her 60th birthday. She had a very strict training program that she followed and this video shows how she did it. PLEASE NOTE: I only did the editing of the footage her husband had taken....
For the Birds
I bought a compound miter saw a few months ago to finish up some molding in our basement. It was on sale...I had additional coupons and gift cards so the saw was pretty much a bargain. After doing the necessary work around the house, I wanted to see what else I could...
What makes a logo?
When I was asked to make a logo for an energy consultant, I wasn't sure what to do that hadn't already been done. For years I've been illustrating energy technologies for the National Energy Technology Laboratory so I was quite accustomed to going through the usual...
A bit of snow fell
As I get older, I feel less adventurous to take on my commute to work if several inches of snow has covered the roadways overnight. This morning was one of those mornings that I was on the fence as whether to brave the elements or opt to telework in the comfort of my...
Linda’s First 60 Years
Just finished a video for Linda's 60th Birthday. When Mary asked me to do this I was hesitant since I didn't know Linda at all. Mary encouraged me by saying that she would do all the leg work and get photos and choose songs for it so of course, I said "YES!" Agreeing...
Wine Cork Boxes
[vc_row el_position="first last"] [vc_column] [vc_column_text el_position="first"] I love making gifts for my friends and family and this year was no different. I bought a Silhouette Cameo to help with my vision of doing glass etching on shadow boxes that will...
WordPress or Bust!
For the last few years I have been trying to learn WordPress in my spare time. I'd get so far and then I was off doing another project or expanding my SharePoint knowledge for work. This obviously has not been a good plan. How can you be good at anything without...
Baby Scoop Era
The Babyscoop Era may be new to some but for those who are a part of it, it is literally in their blood. I first heard of it this year, after a dear friend candidly shared her life with me of being adopted. What she had discovered was that she was a part of a unique...
When you look at this…
Do you want to know where it was taken? Do you think of a time or space it refers to? Does it bring comfort...sadness...peace? What is it you like or don't like? Every time I take a photo I ask myself these questions...not out loud...that would be silly. I try to feel...
