It is finally cool enough to start hiking again. Have gotten out a few times.




Myrtle Beach



Went down to Myrtle Beach last weekend for the first time in like 15 years. Most of the time I would prefer to go to Isle of Palms or somewhere like that. But a group of folks was going to Myrtle Beach and they drove so hey, whatever, right?

Sand sculptures. awesome.


These lovely ladies and their flip flop.


A nice South Carolina theme sand sculpture.

I had my Nikon D70 come up with a problem that is going to have to be sent back to Nikon Technical to get fixed. So I had to get one brought in to replace the other one while I get the original fixed. It only had 13,000 shots on it. My old one had 26,000 shots on it. The lever the lifts up the aperture for exposure and so that you can see through the viewfinder is not working right and there is no way I am going to open up the camera to attempt to fix that.

State Fair is going on here in Columbia. I have two pieces in there. I didn’t win anything but I heard that I sold one of my pieces so that is cool.


This would be a great shot without the dude walking in the background. I will have to photoshop him out.


~have a great week!

Will add some pics later.

Well lots has been going on.

Lots of movies coming through town or have been through town

Death Sentence is finally opening.

Shot some stills for an independent film in town. Some interesting results. The director ended up quitting after the first night of shooting. We ended up re-shooting all the footage that was shot that night.





Been shoot some stills for work.



It is amazing we have a bunch of TV commercials characters that must have twins that work for my company. We have Chad from Altel, Caveman from Gieco and others.

The heat has been bad this summer as well.
The worst it has been in many years.




Got stuck in Memphis airport again. Thanks Northwest.
There was a mechanical problem with the plane in Detroit, which is fine I am glad they fixed it. But after they got it fixed, they had not loaded the baggage yet. So we had to wait another 45 minutes for the baggage to be loaded after they fixed the problem. Why was the baggage not loaded on the plane to start with? So we get to Memphis and we run to the terminal and the plane was still there but the woman was rude to us and wasn’t willing to help so she just sat there while the plane left. Then the power flashed in the terminal and all the monitors went out. So we couldn’t even find alternative routes. So Northwest ended up putting me on a US Air flight the next day, and they said they would transfer my bags. Did they? No of course not. So I had to go running around at 5:30 in the morning looking for my bag for the 6 am flight. Found it just in time and got checked in just to have security do the detailed search in my pack. Nonetheless, I managed to get on the plane and home. Rolled into work that day about 2 or so.


Been playing some ultimate frisbee as well. So really good exercise there.


I’ve also decided lawsuits are not too much fun.
When you have more rules, you have less freedom.
I don’t really like to be told what to do especially when I am suppose to have the freedom to do as I choose.

That’s it for now.
