Photography
New Camera – Canon EOS 7D
Anyone who reads my blog on a regular basis knows I am an amateur landscape photographer. Ever since I was very young I have enjoyed exploring and photographing the Pacific Northwest’s natural wonders. My grandfather taught me the basics of photography when I was very young.

Buck Dodges Hunters by Feasting on my Pumpkins
It is officially deer season in Washington State. I am a fisherman and have never been a big hunter. I have nothing against hunting and have gone myself many times but it I would much rather be fly fishing on a small stream somewhere in the forest. I have never really cared for shooting animals [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day Kayla!
Since Kayla puts up with me spending an obscene amount of time online every other day of the year I thought I would utilize today’s blog post to thank her for a wonderful year and for putting up with me constantly being on the computer. She has also endured a lot of jabs from me [...]
Westport in January
I was out of town the last couple days. Thanks to WordPress’s fantastic publish date feature, my loyal readers didn’t notice a difference because I still published articles bright and early every morning. Where was I? I went home to visit my family in Chehalis Washington because I hadn’t been there for quite some time. [...]
Happy Birthday… To Me
I don’t really have any exciting web news or programming tips for you today. I spent most my day celebrating my birthday instead of working. I did spend a couple hours cleaning up some of my code on VoiceTales which is nearly ready to launch. I think next week will finally be the opening of [...]
