Some thoughts from Tozer

"There is no lack of Bible teachers to set forth correctly the principles of the doctrines of Christ, but too many of these seem satisfied to teach the fundamentals of the faith year after year, strangely unaware that there is in their ministry no manifest Presence, nor …

'Defame Orlando'

I had been told there was a blog dedicated to satirically chide the nightclub/bar/hipster/poser/indie scene here in Orlando, but had not experienced it until today.

Orlando, like any city with a semi-pulsating nightlife, possesses the downtown "strip" crammed with …

Jordan Mitchell- Uncensored

I love this kid.

Jake's Birthday Polaroid Scavenger Hunt

Jake LeBoeuf (pronounced Luh-BUFF) had a birthday not too long ago. He also had a birthday party filled with friends, fun and Polaroid pictures. Here are some of the scavenged "pictures" we claimed.

Thanks to Michael Dalton for putting these together.

Solitude

Thoughts by Spurgeon

"...the most excellent study for expanding the soul, is the science of Christ, and Him crucified and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity. Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, earnest, continued …

Fishing

It was 11:30 PM. The waves were crashing, the tide was rolling in, the fish were fierce.

All of a sudden my line gave a solid tug. My hands quickly grasped the fishing pole to combat the force thrashing on the other end.

After several minutes of reeling and tugging, my …

Chi-Town

I will be visiting the Windy City July 17-20 for a shoot I recently booked. I am wondering if anyone knows something interesting I could get myself into besides a tour on the lake.

Also, if you are going to be in that area during this time, and would like to accompany …

Some shots

A few shots from the "Alter Ego" shoot I had a few weeks back.

This is Ryan. He does lead vox and guitar for Between the Trees.

This is Natalia. She was a natural.

David and Ashley

David Miller and Ashley Wolpert are two of my favorite people. It has been incredible to watch both of them grow so much in our time here in Orlando. Even more incredible will be to watch them exchange vows at their wedding this October.

Ashley is a writer.

David is …

Fresh

This is, as Brian Banks would say, "fresh to def!"

Girl Effect

Underground talent

You may or may not know the names Lauranne Boyd, Jonpaul Douglass or Gage Young- but someday you will. They are three different photographers with three very different styles. Their one common thread is that they are all good at what they do.

It is nice to be in a …

Dave and Laura

I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding (my first) here in Orlando this past weekend for two new friends of mine. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. David Webster-Gardiner.

Laura was stunning, Dave was British- and he looked rather "smart" in his tux. Below are a few …

Heading to Iraq- and I need you

I am heading to Iraq in several months. Yesterday, I wrote this 'support' letter and sent it out to friends and family.

Friends and family who have become friends,

"I know myself. Even though I may not like who I am, I know myself. My children are happy with their lives, but they do not know who they are. Tell me, which is worse: not liking yourself but knowing who you are? or not knowing yourself, but being happy?"

Enjoy the show.

Reyal

This weekend was beautiful. Several friends and I had been planning an in-studio fashion shoot for over a month and finally saw the fruits of our labor.

Shelby George was the hair-stylist who fashioned the hair of our six models.

Cristina Colon kept everyone's faces …

She has great eyes

Some of us wonder what our future mate will look like. But I no longer have this query. You see my sister gave me a note while I was in Texas with an artist rendering of a woman in it.

She went on to say in her note that she believed this is what my future wife will …

Grandmother

I can't remember a time in my youth when I woke up before my parents. But sure enough, when I got out of bed Tuesday morning at 6:15, my mother and father were still sleeping. For some reason this amused me.

However, their cat that is the size of an obese 5-year old …
