He’s not as smart as he looks
03-12-2007 I used to beat him about 8 out of 10 times.This was Charlie, my childhood dog. I took this photo about 30 years ago, during one particularly intense chess match. He's gone now, to the big doghouse in the sky. ◄ ♦ ►

First Fight
12-12-2006It's a strange feeling to watch your oldest son get into a boxing ring for his first match. You know the other guy is there for one purpose - to beat the crap out of your son. I tried to tie the guy's shoelaces together, but he kept moving his feet around.◄ ♦ ►

02-09-2006At first glance, this might be a photo of the front of a 12-story building. Even the "sky" area looks pretty sky-like.It's actually a close up photo of a ventilation grate. I didn't intend to make it look like a building, in fact, I shot this photo without looking thru the viewfinder at all. I … Continue reading This Building Looks Grate
