I am about to start my final semester in my grad school program at UT Dallas (emerging media master’s degree program), and part of this final semester is to make a capstone project.
I’m going to produce a documentary (video) piece about creative culture, and the “bubble” between professional people and their serious side [...]
My office does a pumpkin contest every year. They provide the pumpkin (think “fun size”) and you provide the design. There were lots of good entries this year, including a painted pumpkin (black) with christmas lights that spelled the word “boo!” I settled (randomly) on this eagle. I found an illustration, and then adapted it [...]
Here’s another shot of our house at night. This one takes on the more dreamy appearance of HDR. While it’s not a perfect art form, I think that this type of image treatment deserves credit.
I started my Fall 2010 semester at UTD today. I’m excited to take 2 courses, but I am feeling a little bit freaked out about the required readings.

I’m running a bit behind on blogging. Sorry! My semester is coming to and end and things are crazy busy. Anyways, here’s some photos I have shot lately (some for PegNews.com).
I ran in to some audio problems while using my Canon 7D and Rode Videomic. I’m not sure if the mic connection jiggled loose, or if the camera “forgot” that the mic was attached while switching back and forth from photo to video mode. Nevertheless, here’s some hacked together footage of the few shots that [...]
Erin and I met up with Joslyn and Bryan for lunch… then to the Warhol exhibit at the Modern. Although I haven’t visited every museum in the DFW area, I think this will remain my favorite.
