home sweet beach

there's nothing like shelling on a sunny day to lift the spirits. i love florida in the winter when the beach is undisturbed, especially at fort desoto, one of my favorites...
exploring the beach with my camera reminded me of the wonder and amazement i found in simple things when i was just beginning to take pictures.

somehow

My photo ended up in USA Today on Friday. I would really love to know the process the photo editor went through to find the photo on AP to go with that story:

update: Yes, it did appear in print as well. The more I think about it though, the stranger I feel about how the image was taken out of context. I don't think Michele would like being the poster mom for child hunger in America.

jazz hands

Went to the Missouri/ Nebraska game this weekend as a spectator and got lost in a sea of gold. Snuck this shot before the security guard asked me to "put my big lens away."

loneliness

Starting a new essay for picture story on loneliness at truck stops. Went out to Midway last night and met some really interesting people in the bar. An essay in a week is going to be tough, but I'm excited about the moodiness of the light and the topic.

kiddie chaos

Charlie and Michele went with Charlie's mom to pick up the other two kids from St. Louis last weekend. They spent the week catching up on dr. apptmnts in additon to looking for a permanent place to live. Ka'Mel ended up in Children's Hospital on Tuesday after having too many seizures.
