BEST OF 2009
As we wrap up the first week of the new year I can’t help but reflect on the past year. There were struggles as there are with anything, but I’d be remised if I didn’t sit back and be thankful for the good things. I met a lot of great people, made a few [...]
IPHONE ADVENTURE
Every year Libby and I send out a self-designed holiday card using our own skills as graphic artists and photographers. When it came time to produce this year’s card we had some initial trouble coming up with a fresh idea. After a bit of thinking I came up with the idea of using images taken [...]

BRAZIL

I spent the first two weeks of 2008 in Brazil and was so impressed by the beauty and ethnology of the nation Id have liked to just stayed. Although there are an [...]

It’s January and since Brazil is in the Southern Hemisphere, it is the height of Summer here. The day I arrived the temperature reached 102F however since [...]
A 12 HOUR PLANE RIDE & A FRESH OUTLOOK
