Caroline and Craig’s wedding video. Denton, TX.

I joined Dallas Homebrew Collective. We’re a little bit different than the old grumpy homebrewer folks. Wait a sec, let me re-phrase that snarky comment. Honestly, I cannot say that about them because I don’t know “those” other people. But I could imagine that they’re probably really serious and have formal meetings and do more …

Erin and I wanted to do something unique for our Save the Date announcement. So we decided to make a video and send it out to our friends and family. We shot this over three different days. Parts were shot in NYC, parts at the State Fair of Texas during a rainy weekend, and parts …

Last week I completed a refinish job on a couple of benches. We got these benches from the old location of Matt’s El Rancho in Lakewood. When they closed, the offered up a ton of furniture at fire sale prices. The benches were great! One was yellow and the other one was bright pink. All …

I visited the Dallas Arboretum last night for one of their final [well final on the original plan] night viewings of the Chihuly works on exhibit. (They have since extended the exhibit through December – you should go.)

We borrowed their mantis (which is a totally kickass landscaping tool, btw) this weekend and got to work. So our Sunday consisted of 2 trips to …

Hey. I’m re-doing some stuff on my site right now. There shouldn’t be any major (fingers crossed) interruptions. So don’t freak out. It’s a live re-theme… with help from the Lynda.com course Responsive Themes for WordPress. It’s a skill I have been tinkering with. And it’s nice to have an instructor lead me through the …

While waiting for Neil’s band to play the other night, I took a walk down the street and found this cool resale shop named Millenium. It’s a neat little place with lots to offer. Sadly, I only had enough time to take a few quick picks. The range of light and colors in this shop …

I have shot a few videos of Neil now. He’s easy to shoot because he just does his thing, requires no re-takes, and he’s stupid-good at what he does. This was a no-pay project, but hey, that’s okay. It’s good to get out there and practice the craft nonetheless. Gear Used Manfrotto tripod w/ video …
