Here are a few I really like....

That's where I'm working. For the 4th summer in a row. I'm there 30-37 hours a week. I appreciate the hours, I appreciate the pay check...but it would be so nice to have my summer off.

Hopefully, I'll graduate college this year, land a teaching job soon after...and thennnnn be able to spend my summers the way I want.

For the time being, "Be cool, go to Rita's". And while you're there, tip your server ;)

Summer Thoughts....

...and I can pay a little more attention to my spelling :)

It may look beautiful....but Epstein-Barr (chronic mono), is no fun at all...

A Muse

  I thought this little story was so enchanting....

Melissa
She exudes an inner beauty I am still trying to comprehend, more than five years after first meeting her. She doesn't remember the first time we met, while moving into the same dorm at Ohio University. The first time she remembers me is when I photographed her studying in the common area, backlit by the afternoon light. I walked up to her and showed her the image I had made. She thought I was weird but somehow I didn't scare her off. She is the closest I have ever come to having a muse and her patience; understanding and love constantly push me to be a better man, husband and father.

Pandora's Box

I think the idea of "Pandora's Box" is going to be the platform for my next photography project. As usual, I'm starting by collecting some images and data.....

By Su Blackwell

Pandora's box is an artifact in Greek mythology, taken from the myth of Pandora's creation around line 60 of Hesiod's Works and Days. The "box" was actually a large jar (πιθος pithos) given to Pandora (Πανδώρα) ("all-gifted"), which contained all the evils of the world. When Pandora opened the jar, the entire contents of the jar were released, but for one – hope.^[1] Today, opening Pandora's box means to create evil that cannot be undone.
