sharing the limelight...


What a special thing for a father and daughter to share the same birth day. It may seem like you have to share the limelight (and she will always win), but it's really something momentous that you will always share together. Finishing the day out with one more Happy Birthday Tyler and Pyper Tyndell...

texas...

Didn't have the best of luck with photos on the day of the Texas State Fair. This is one of my favorites because of the ominous look in the sky. The heat was unbearable, the clouds were forming and it finally started raining soon after this photo. After all these years of living here, the unpredictable Texas weather never seems to surprise me...

wow...


Pyper's expression says it all. I recently received a surprise package of expired NIGO film in the mail from a guy in NYC (Kyle Depew) after I sent him a working packfilm camera. One picture and I remember what I loved about this film...

this makes me smile...


Took this one tonight after eating dinner with Pyper. It never gets old taking pictures of Pyper (come to think of it, it never gets old taking pictures period). I was looking through the large quantity of instant images that I haven't even scanned and Pyper was everywhere (in different poses, with different expressions and at different ages). Someday, I will need to do a photo collage with just images of her. I have said it before, but when Pyper grows up she will be one of the few people her age that has almost her entire childhood documented with instant film. Definitely makes me smile... 

an empty nest...

Amazing how time flies... Only yesterday, we were walking Sadi into her Kindergarten class with Ms Sikes at Bowie Elementary. If only I had realized at the time that the wheels were set in motion for this inevitable day of dropping her off at a college campus and having to return home to an "empty nest". Some days, while raising her, we were able to get past certain phases/attitudes knowing that this day was coming. On other days, as it got closer, I couldn't even let the thought cross my mind without tearing up.

A little over a week ago, we had the task of moving her to another city, unpacking all her stuff, giving her hugs (and one last piece of advice), getting into our car and driving away. Not because we wanted to; because we had to. Without going into too many details, I really felt as if I left a piece of my heart in Stephenville, Tx that day. There is no way to describe it without using the word 'void'. That being said, as the days have passed, the void has began to be filled with anticipation, hope and excitement for her. 

Below are a few photos that were taken with my SX70 camera and one pack of Impossible color protection film. I took a few digital photos with my iPhone and Fuji x100s, but these photos will be my "go to" images for remembering the day... 








francisco's diptych


Here is another image that I took of Francisco while in Sacramento. This image included his Bronica. This location had plenty of large windows for shots like this. I scanned the images as a diptych and I plan on using the same images for an emulsion lift on aluminum. Will update this post and add it as soon as I get it done...

lively decay...


Doesn't happen all the time, but today was the day. Pulled my Land Rover up into an unknown/unsuspecting person's driveway just to take a picture of this flower bush. It was a very rustic yard (aka. unkept), but the extremes of the liveliness and the decay stood out as I passed by. I am sure glad Sherri wasn't with me. That way I didn't have to explain my keen sense of creativeness to her all over again...
