AJ & Jewel

Jewel grew up near us, so it was fun to photograph a family friend again. She and AJ have carried on a long distance relationship for some time now, so we did a little photo series with their cellphones... it seemed appropriate. :) We're looking forward to the wedding this fall!! Happy planning, guys!

Rodney's Randomness

I have been a long-time fan of "The Simpsons" and yesterday they announced the official home of the dysfunctional family.

The movie premieres July 27.

AL Wins Again....

In baseball's MidSummer Classic, Ichiro Suzuki sped around the bases as the ball bounced away from Ken Griffey Jr. for the first inside-the-park home run in All-Star game history. On a night of tricky hops, Suzuki and the American League rebounded to 5-4 win.


Gas Consumption in US
I found this a fascinating graphic. In my travels last week, I saw loads of massive RV's pulling cars. The gas prices certainly haven't affected the way we do life in the US. We all like to complain about it, but in the end it doesn't change much, which is why the prices will never come down.
