The Bookshelf

Well, I finally got around to putting together a page that has a list of books that I would recommend to anyone interested in photography and digital editing. These are all books that I have and have found very useful. The list will eventually become larger but I am having trouble editing things here for some [...]

Saturday on the Lake

Jeff — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 15:45:34 +0000

Saturdays can be pretty boring around here. This is the day I usually do my shopping and catching up on laundry and other fun stuff around my place while Kieran goes about his Saturday routine of hanging out with his friends and having fun. This week he has been building an ice fort which is [...]

Ice Baby, Ice

What a fun day! Not… The weathermen had been talking about this storm for a couple of days. Lots of snow on the north end and ice on the south end. We got both. Not much snow. Just enough to brighten things up a bit. We did get some pretty good ice though. Pretty to look [...]

Holiday Photography

Jeff — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 16:53:48 +0000

As the holidays are fast approaching, not only am I trying to finish up buying gifts, I am trying to come up with a different approach to taking photos at holiday gatherings. I only have 2 of them, so I want to have a concept in my head beforehand. I like to travel lite if possible [...]

Noteworthy!

Jeff — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 16:08:24 +0000

Whoo Hoo! I recieved a Noteworthy from Photo Friday! I have been submitting photos to that site for about 5 years now and finally made it. I’m not really that big on bragging about myself but this really made my day. Every week there is a new theme posted and you link a photo that fits [...]

The 2008 Holiday Market

Jeff — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:42:27 +0000

Well, the holidays must be near because Santa has stopped in Tinley Park. He stopped in last Sunday and must have liked the reception he got because he is back again! It might have something to do with all the lights in Zabrocki Plaza. I’m sure he spotted it as he flew over. Hard to [...]

Elaine

Elaine skated off into the sunset sometime overnight. To say that I feel pretty lousy right now would be an understatement. She was a cool frog as far as frogs go. I have no idea what happened. She was just sitting on the edge of her water dish in the morning like she always does [...]

Where’s My Bailout?

Jeff — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 00:00:52 +0000

Good Lord! I usually come home from work and check out the news on my iGoogle page. I know, a lot of doom and gloom most of the time but I sort of like knowing what’s going on in the world. I have always been like that and don’t see it changing at this stage! Today [...]
