That Old Time Feeling

2011-02-28T13:48:00.000-05:00

2/28/2011

I have driven past this truck and barn for years, I always thought about stopping one day to take some pictures. Well, today I did. I was very surprised by all the stuff that had been dumped in the barn, but it made for some interesting shots I think. The light was pretty cool coming in through the windows....

It's hard to believe this was all NEW at one time... and now...

Who ARE these guys?

Photo Walk

2011-01-10T14:13:00.000-05:00

Inspired by other photographers I've seen online and wanting to do some street photography, I wandered the streets and alleys of Birmingham the other day on my lunch break. It was fun to try to look for the little interesting nooks and hidden places you might not notice otherwise. These are some shots I took....

Five things I like (just for the fun of it)

2011-01-04T20:18:00.001-05:00

Five things that I like, in no particular order....

1. My finely distressed trucker cap.

2. Bananas

3. A good American made pocket knife.

4. Coffee.

5. Self portraits (vain, I know).

Traverse City

2010-07-29T21:58:00.000-04:00

Had a chance to visit The Village at Grand Traverse Commons while in Traverse City last weekend. Really cool place. Check it out if you're interested.

Excellent coffee from Higher Grounds Trading Company!

"One of the largest, historic preservation and adaptive reuse redevelopments in the country is underway. A beautiful solution to urban sprawl, The Village is the unique renovation of dozens of historic buildings formerly known as the Traverse City State Hospital, and previously, the Northern Michigan Asylum. The auspicious location of this 63-acre site, centered in one of the Midwest's most desirable locations, underscores the unparalleled beauty of magnificent, century-old Victorian-Italianate architecture."

OK, so here are a few more of Egan...... I know you might be a little sick of pictures of my son but, he"s always right there. The other day the sun was coming in the house so nice I decided to take a few shots while we were goofing off in the living room. It was great to get some with a REAL smiles and not just a goofy forced grin.

Crayola....Yum!

2010-03-13T11:56:00.000-05:00

I took these of Egan this morning. He was trying to peel the paper off the crayon and ended up eating some in the process. He seems to like the cheesy grin.

Crazy kid......

My Father's Hands

2010-02-08T12:29:00.001-05:00

These are my Father's hands.

These hands have built things

They have broken things

They have swung a hammer

They have turned a wrench

They have been dirtied with oil, mud and grime

These hands have caressed a woman

They have held a newborn child

They have carried a casket

They have applied discipline

They have wiped away tears

These hands have taught lessens

They have been folded in prayer

They have bled, bruised and ached

They have given more than anyone will ever know

Thank you Dad
