Atlanta Flickr Group: Celestial Studios

The Atlanta Flickr Group attended an informal studio lighting seminar my wife put on at her studio in Gainesville, Celestial Studios. Thank you to everyone that was able to come to that. I think it went quite well and gave something to everyone to play with in the future. I’d love it if the group… Continue reading Atlanta Flickr Group: Celestial Studios

Batman: Preparations

The costume is movie-quality and similar to the Michael Keaton era Batman. It’s absolutely amazing! The… Continue reading Batman: Preparations

Good Morning, Sunday

As I write this, I’m winding down to sleep after a strenuous day. I played in Athens today at Kidsfest as mentioned previously. Although no longer or hotter than last year, we were in greater demand this year. We played almost 5 hours continuously. That’s a lot of skin slapping, and we were all beat.… Continue reading Good Morning, Sunday

KidsFest 2005

Tomorrow I’m playing with the Alchemy drumming circle in Athens during Athfest. We played in Kidsfest last year, and they wanted us back again this year. We had a lot of fun then, so I’m eagerly anticipating this year’s event. I just noticed we’re mentioned on the Kidsfest schedule at www.athfest.com. Cool! There should be… Continue reading KidsFest 2005

Simple, Instrumented, Bullet-Proof

I had an “all-hands” meeting today at CheckFree in which we discussed our division’s strengths and weaknesses. One of the things I gleaned from this was that there is a desire by upper management for solutions to be simple, instrumented, and bullet-proof when they’re handed off. This rings true in many people’s minds, I think.… Continue reading Simple, Instrumented, Bullet-Proof

Happy Father’s Day (cont.)

When I finally got around to a time that I could possibly finish up this post, it was too late. Father’s Day turned out to be exhausting. I did get to play a video game for about 20 minutes. Balthazar and I played “Knights of the Old Republic” on the XBOX – well, Balthazar played… Continue reading Happy Father’s Day (cont.)

Happy Father’s Day

What does a dad do on Father’s Day? My first inclination was to shirk all responsiblity and play games all day. I’m thinking that this is in stark contrast to the role of “father,” so how could I spend “Father’s Day” as a bachelor? So I spend the day as super-dad instead. So far, I’ve… Continue reading Happy Father’s Day

**Censored**

I’m involved in a comment thread with another Flickr user involving the appropriateness of an image I’m displaying for all the world to see. Being a father and an artist, my perspective is somewhat jaded on the issue. As compared to an advertisement strategy of Calvin Klein’s where young children are poised in their underwear,… Continue reading **Censored**
