the fort

jack and i made a fort today after work. "go daddy" he commanded when i got tired from playing and sat in the chair. "goOO." he didn't stay in the fort very long - he's more interested in having you chase him through the fort rather than sit in it with you - but i was able to keep him still for a little while by showing him how the flashlight makes a circle of light on the blanket we used as the top of the fort. that kept his attention long enough to make one half-way decent frame. then it was more "go daddy. go!"

sad jack

i don't exactly remember why he's so sad in this picture. i think it was many things. what i do remember is that it was a long day (for both of us), mommy was working late and dinner was taking too long ... 'eat' jackson kept demanding - and crackers would not do.

energy illustration

shot an illustration this morning on deadline for a story about saving energy. pretty happy with it, tho it was rushed so there are some flaws (like the bulbs aren't exactly the same perspective ... d'oh!)

spirit week

its spirit week at monroe high school and tonight the students had a bonfire, dj, and talent contest ... revving up for this friday's game against dearborn. last week monroe knocked-off the number 1 state ranked team, allen park. its been an exciting week for football and homecoming.

bobcat band

i published an audio slideshow about the 22-member marching band at whiteford - same band as last post. these are a lot of fun to produce and work on, but they can be time consuming - working on these during normal work hours in pretty much impossible. "bryan is there a mug shot for so-and-so.... bryan is there a photographer available for an assignment this afternoon .... bryan there is a woman at the counter who wants to talk to a photographer" you get the idea. i can get 10 times as much done in one hour at night than a whole entire 8-hour day at work. click the picture to watch.
