Wonder


Wonder 3
Originally uploaded by tyler.photo

Saturday night, we went to Organ Stop Pizza for a couple of July birthdays. As the walls shook with the sounds of Phantom of the Opera, Chattanooga Choo-Choo, and many other selections, Gavin took it all in with the most sincere expression of wonder and amazement on his face. I had to capture it.

July 4th Weekend


We spent the 4th of July in Show Low this year...it was beautiful! I took several pictures including the drive and the fireworks display. You can view them by clicking on the picture or by using the Flickr badge I added to the sidebar. This will automatically update when I upload new photos. Enjoy!

Memory Lane (a.k.a. Pecos Road)


This photo was taken shortly after our engagement in 2000.

Back then, Pecos Road was just a quiet country road, on which you might see an occasional car drive by. This is also the road in front of my childhood home, so I have great memories of driving my ’55 Chevy back and forth on this very stretch…

Anyway, we thought it might be fun to document the changes that have taken place, both to this patch of ground and to our family, by taking a series of pictures in exactly the same spot. The pavement we were walking on has been torn up and the road rerouted. Instead of alfalfa fields in the background, there are now power poles, street lights, and a freeway. Heather and I have been married for nearly 8 years and we’ve added a couple of little people to the picture, too!






It's amazing how quickly time flies and things change. For me, this is just a little piece of nostalgia.

Photo Notes is on facebook!


Hello everyone! For the past few months, I've been working with my friend Dave, to develop a fun photo sharing application called Photo Notes. You can upload your own image or use one of our assorted photos, choose a frame to display it in, and choose a font and color for your note. The public site, www.photo-notes.net has been up for several weeks and today, we launched it on facebook! This is the first version, so there will be more features added in later phases.

Have fun sharing your photos through Photo Notes!

Expelled

This looks like an excellent documentary...once you see the trailers you'll understand why. It opens in theaters tomorrow. Go see it!

Phoenix Zoo

We went to the Phoenix Zoo on Friday. Here are some of the better shots from the day. At some point this year, I'd like to get something worthy of entering into a competition.

Valentines Dinner

Yes, yes, I know. It's been a week and a half since Valentines Day, but my biggest artistic endeavor in recent weeks was making dinner for Heather. I enjoy cooking and baking on occasion...particularly special occasions. So, I made Chicken Piccata with steamed asparagus and for dessert, I decided to attempt a recipe for Olive Garden's Lemon Cream Cake (Heather's favorite). I think it came out very well and I will definitely make it again...since I am now addicted to lemon cream cake.


Oh, and I got new running shoes. They look pretty fast...we'll see.
