As winter’s cold begins to set in and my knee aches and the rain and snow makes for a great excuse to make hot chocolate and the birds find their way to warmer climates, I’m migrating my blog. For the past while, I’ve been trying to find a better way to bring my blog and [...]

I thought I was doing better, but after shooting the wedding and concert on Saturday, I’ve just been exhausted and not well. I’m still going to post photos from Saturday, but there are a lot to go through yet – never mind my work on the history of Paris that needs to be ready pretty [...]
Well, I’ve been a bit ill the past few days. I’ve gone out to photograph, but wasn’t feeling terribly inspired or I just wasn’t up for staying at it until I found the shots I was hoping for. I did shoot something tonight, but I’m going to head to bed and post it tomorrow. I’m [...]
24 September 2010 Photos: Model Shoot in the Park and Jazz Concert
Posted: Sat 25 September 2010 in Photo-A-Day Project, photography, Portrait Photography, UncategorizedTags: daily photo, Paris, paris at night, photography
Between the model shoot at Butte Chaument and the jazz concert near the Musée d’Orsay by Goud, it was a pretty full day. Made lots of great new images. Here are some of my quick favorites:
I’m transitioning to a more integrated web-presence that will, hopefully, bring more of my work together in an easier format while still looking sharp. For starters, I’ve added a new domain to function as the central link to all my work: www.by-jr.com. Add to that the new slideshows that look better, have faster load times, [...]
Crazy how things can happen in unexpected ways, hey? When I wrote before about the support, I mentioned $1 coming in. Well, I’ve gotten now some more money from someone who I helped with some camera problems and since he offered to pay me, I just asked that instead of that, if he wanted to [...]
It’s been a crazy past couple of weeks trying to buy and sell and being stupid sick and all the roller-coaster-ing of emotions and digesting the life events . . . I’m leaving tomorrow for Paris. At that, i heave a huge sigh of relief. My heart has been longing to go back since the [...]
Got my ticket out of here booked for just under two weeks from now. So . . . That basically is great. Got a good price on it and the sooner the better so I can get on things there in Paris!
Things have a way of not really working out how I plan, but somehow it manages to come together into something weird that is . . . good. Hard to describe, really. I have been doing work withYouth With a Mission (YWAM) for a while (3 years ago this September is when I started my [...]
I’ve just finished the design and layout of the current YWAM Paris newsletter in French and in English. Take a peek if you’re interested! (Links will be forthcoming – There were some last-minute changes to be made.)
I wouldn’t know anything about that though. I don’t know much of anything at the moment. Just that today was remarkable despite it being terribly unremarkable. I had a sense of peace and a renewed hope. I’m still working things out, but I appreciate that God is gentle with me sometimes. It’s been an interesting [...]
A year or two ago, I discovered the wonder that is NoiseTrade.com. They let you pay for music or let you spread the word to five other people and get some tunes for free. Since I’m a fan of free, that works out well. I am sort of a music addict and am always looking [...]
This weekend, I’m heading out to Illinois for a job interview, but I’m not sure what will come of it. It would be nice to get some form of stable income, but to head out there, my expenses also increase. Catch 22. Also, I need to do some outreach time with YWAM to get to [...]
I really can’t remember who put me onto this or how I stumbled upon the site www.dumblittleman.com, but it’s been a great resource. For the past couple of days, I’ve been working hard on my autumn cleaning, which also includes my e-mail inbox, RSS feeds and other computer clutter as much as it does the [...]
I ordered a new part for my car a couple weeks ago to fix the fuel door (only opens by interior release). All that trouble for a $4 part. Anyway… I got it installed and fixed some of the damage resulting from the missing part. Such a satisfying thing. Such a simple pleasure. And, now, [...]
There is always a sense of satisfaction that comes for me in figuring out how to fix something and fixing it. I like the challenge of it. A few weeks ago, I salvaged a hard drive. Last week or the week before, it was the furnace. Then the dryer. Then the motor mount in the [...]
I’m in! I’m heading to the ND vs. BC game tomorrow! Supposed to be some rain, I think… But, tailgating, watching the game, potentially standing under my bright, bright orange poncho I got while working at the camp last summer… It’ll be a good day. Look for me on the TV if it’s raining. I’ll [...]
It now seems certain that my 400Gb Western Digital MyBook Premium External Hard Drive is dying. It first began with sluggish interaction then progressed to crashing Finder but still sometimes working. Now, Finder is crashed and will not recognize the files at all. It is also possible that it is merely the controller circuitry going [...]
Yes, I’m still alive. Kicking, even. I just have been sorting through a lot of stuff and haven’t felt like blogging or even photographing all that much lately. Working on that. In the past few weeks, I’ve photographed a few weddings and some other stuff. The last few days, I’ve been getting caught up on [...]

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/28/world/asia/28afghankids.html This is a great article highlighting one of the major factors for needing people on the ground in Europe. Immigrants come from many, many nations seeking refuge from what terrors they leave behind or simply the lack of the chances for survival.
I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there…
So, I totally “borrowed” this from Claire’s blog. Now, if only my dog would be that well trained. I can’t even get her to stop rooting through the garbage.
“No, no, no, no!” Click Me I saw this at the Art Institute in Chicago a month and a half ago. Thought I’d share the wealth.
I’ve been doing my hosting for my other blog site paid through Apple since 2007. Well… I don’t feel like giving them money for that anymore. The service was nice, sure, but I was paying for lots of things I wasn’t using, so I’m switching here to WordPress instead. Plus, there’s a cool app for [...]
