Don’t Get Caught in The Shack

A Review of “The Shack”—If you haven’t heard of this book yet, you soon will. My copy is in the mail, but in the mean time, check out why you don’t want to be caught in the shack.

Mediated Communication

God’s revelation to us is now mediated communication. Tim Challies

HDR Before and After

I’ve experimented with High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography for a while now, but I finally have a good before and after example to share.  HDR basically yields an image with a higher exposure range than a traditional image or even our eyes are capable of capturing.  Here’s what it looks like—visit the site see them larger.

What you’re looking at is about six images at different exposures merged together.  The result is better exposure and detail in the lightest-lights and darkest-darks of the image.  Which one do you like better?

Hot Air Balloons

The weather was perfect for enjoying some hot air balloons today.

This was the only cloud in the sky, but it kept the sun from blinding us for the entire evening.

Hurricane Trafic

Simply Good News

“…when this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.” Luke 15:30

What a statement! I’ve always focused on the older son when he’s on the scene, but his words reveal an incredible perspective on the Father.

Grocery Shopping at Market Street United

It’s been a long two years of grocery shopping, but today we finally got to experience the Market Street United again, and while it was one of the busiest grocery stores I’ve been in, it was still great to be back in a United.

Horse Ride

I found these on my computer from when we first got  married.  We saw this same scene several times around town.  I guess if you don’t have a trailer, just load ‘em up.

New Lighting Effect

We spent last night with my brother and his wife enjoying some Alfredo Pizza, Queso, and a little lighting experiment. I love what it did to the hair.
