Sometimes it’s nice to get away from it all. I did just that on a trip to San Francisco a few years back. Shelly had business meetings; I had the day off. So I grabbed a rental, headed out of town and drove up through the Marin headlands out to Point Reyes. Beautiful. Quiet. And, it seemed, no one around but me. (Ahhhh!) When’s the last time you were able to break free of all the noise?

The first thing my 11-year old daughter said me to this morning–as she entered the living room in her jammies–was that this was the year the world was going to end. Not good morning, hi or I’m hungry–2012 is it. My wife and I just looked at each other. (Note to self: too much television for her)
“Time and tide wait for no man” as the saying goes (and that I do believe), so here WE go into 2012. It sure got here fast it seems. I’ve got hopes and wishes for the new year, as many do, and one of them is to put in a little more time and regularity with this blog and my photography, and share more with my friends and family that peek in here from time to time. So, I’m going to work on simplifying things and just do it. (Hold me to it!)
I wish all of you a wonderful 2012.

Last night was our first homecoming experience with our oldest–a freshman at The Woodlands College Park High School–so Dad gets out the camera to document. He’s got a really nice group of friends and a charming date, and all were smiling ear to ear with anticipation of the evening. It was nice to see these kids all spruced up for a formal night out. Check ‘em out here.

I know! It was daunting to find a suit that fit him. He’s looking so much older now. Crazy! 
Cannot believe I am seeing this. Mitch is looking sharper than ever! Can’t believe he is old enough to go to the prom!
Apart from all the other “drama” in the show, I really like the advertising nuggets that are written in to the episodes from time to time. This is one of my favorites. Don is presenting to Kodak on their new “wheel” for slide viewing. He gets right to the heart of the matter, finding the emotional connection. The nostalgia. This is why I love photography.
AMC has taken the embed feature off this video clip, but it’s well worth going out to YouTube to watch.

Earlier this summer, my wife’s sister and family swung through town, so we took advantage of a bright, cheery–and early–morning to head over to the East Shore area of The Woodlands and take some family shots. What was perfect light was quickly challenged with near-debilitating humidity, and my subjects were completely drenched when all was said and done. But my baby niece took it all in stride. I wish I could be that cheery in the mornings like she was. Click on over here for the full gallery.

Thanks, Abby, I appreciate it. That was a fun, albeit sticky, session out there. Glad you’re enjoying the shots. Give G a little hug for me.
Amazing results in less then ideal shooting weather! Thanks so much for making us look great!
