Street ride in Charleston…

My last trip to Charleston gave me time to “walk about” between shooting and client meetings.  There are many places you might never see this for fear that your ride will not be there later in the day.  Here, it seems to fit in with the Southern charm of this South Carolina town, bright colors, […]

Happy Birthday, Dad…

Friday, August 3rd is my dad’s birthday.  He’s the handsome one on the left. This is the man who taught me my work ethic how to be in a relationship how to treat your kids how to drive a car how to balance a checkbook how to love a dog how to love breakfast, lunch, […]

Jury Duty…

I was on jury duty for the last 3 days.  The group dynamic in a small room is very interesting.  I think everyone should sit on a jury at least once in their life and you get a whole new appreciation of our legal system, the constitution, and just plain ole’ folks.  First, the defendant […]

It’s the simple things…

It’s simple what we get used to.  Electricity, running water, air conditioning (hot as hell here in the South), cell phone, ipad…the list goes on.  I’ve been on the road a bunch this month driving all over the country and it got me thinking… When I started driving in the last century, seat belt laws […]

Red,White and Blue

I can never get enough of neon signs and marquees. Especially when the sign has been dark for many years and someone comes along and refurbishes a great theater like this.  This is the place where I saw Star Wars for the first time.  I was a senior in high school.  Do the math. In […]
