It hit me this morning that I’m a few days shy of a full year of posting daily to this here blog. Wild! I then thought I should spend some time contemplating the year ahead, and began writing up short blurs on the various things I am focusing on in the new year.
Today, we are celebrating Christmas. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and your loved ones!
I’ll be back tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after, to discuss more things…

Proof of life. Should I become a self-portrait photographer? Probably not. Nice to document the addition of grey hairs, though. Surely I will cherish these moments when all of my hairs are grey. Happy Sunday! Back soon with more… content.

I’m on vacation starting today. Kind of. I still have work calls and plenty of distractions. We’ll see if I can keep up the daily blog while I’m up in the Northwoods of Wisconsin with crap internet. If not, it was a run.
I’m honestly just quite exhausted. The attempted assassination which took place today took everything out of me. It was either complete incompetence from the secret service or something even more hard to consider. Both possibilities are terrible for this country and now I can’t see how Trump won’t now be reelected president once again.
Anyway, I’m off to the lake to hopefully think of happier thoughts.
Goodnight and, as they say, good luck.

Hello. It’s Saturday and I’m working. Gotta pay these studio bills one $100 portrait session at a time. I’m good at business!
This photo was made at the Fashion Outlet Mall in Rosemont, Illinois while my car was charging. The art is by the amazing artist Alvaro Ilizarbe. I was commissioned to document the art installations at this mall a decade or so back and spent a few days hanging with Alvaro up on the scaffolding while he hand painted this entire piece. It is incredible and worth a trip to the mall just to see it.
