Diptychs Then and Now

Diptychs Then and Now

As I’ve been pho­tograph­ing Gus these first few weeks of his life, I’ve noticed many sim­i­lar­i­ties in images I made of Missy dur­ing her preg­nancy so I began look­ing though images from then and pair­ing them with new pic­tures from the past few weeks.  Some are paired because of loca­tion or mood, oth­ers because of […]

Gus Benjamin Warp Meltzer

Gus Benjamin Warp Meltzer

Just two days late, Gus arrived in our arms at about 3:30 am on May 31st, Mon­day.  We went to the deliv­ery area around 10:30 pm on Sun­day night after labor­ing most of the day at home by our­selves and with our amaz­ing doula, Susan Daniels. Missy was a champ through labor, with a completely […]

Waitin’ on the arrival of Meltzarp

Waitin’ on the arrival of Meltzarp

So, while we’re in the wait­ing mode for Meltzarp, and since we’ve had an entire refrig­er­a­tor shelf of expired Polaroid 4x5 55 film, we headed on to the school stu­dio and used the Speed Graph­ics for a few hours.  Was fun, and now we just keep wait­ing.  Should be here any week/day now.

Baby Shower, WKU

Missy and my co-workers at WKU were super nice in throw­ing a small but inti­mate baby shower.  Lovely gifts includ­ing a Hill­top­per onesy.  One more month, now to go.

Easter and Smashin’ Eggs

Easter and Smashin’ Eggs

Mike and Rachelle intro­duced us to their fam­ily tra­di­tion of dec­o­rat­ing and smash­ing Easter Eggs.  Missy was vic­to­ri­ous, and we ate some deli­cious egg salad sand­wiches with fresh lettuce.

Warps Visit, Start of Garden

Warps Visit, Start of Garden

Get­ting within less than 2 months from due date, John and Sandi came for a visit and we took them on a long hike at Mam­moth Cave National Park.  We also planted a gar­den on our huge 60’x30’ plot rented from the city for $30 for the year.  Too big, too much weed­ing, but should […]

Valentimes Day

Valentimes Day

Missy and I went to Land Between the Lakes State Park for Valen­times Day, as she says.  Hor­ri­ble weather, cold, wet and dark, but good times anyway.

Swimmin’

Swimmin’

Got a new under­wa­ter hous­ing at school that I needed to try out so it would come with direc­tions for the stu­dent checkout…so, spent a half hour under­wa­ter today.

With the Warps for Winter Break

With the Warps for Winter Break

Spent about 10 days with the Warps in Moose Lake, MN.  Had a great time with lots of nieces and nephews…getting a bit of a pre­view of what’s to come.  Also got to see some of Missy’s buddy Jacquie too.

30-year-old Kodachrome and skinny skis

30-year-old Kodachrome and skinny skis

I’ve been sav­ing some 30+ year old Kodachrome for­ever and finally decided to use it on a beau­ti­ful and cold Min­nesota day over win­ter break cross coun­try ski­ing.  Too bad the col­ors are com­pletely washed out because of the film’s age and that I spent $50 hav­ing it processed, but here they are.
