A performance by Anna

My friend and colleague Rob Tarbell brought a wonderful little lady into my life when he returned to Charlottesville and married Anna.  She makes me laugh!

Let There be Light

Last year John and I created Floating Lanterns for the Let There be Light exhibit at PVCC.  Although the process of collaborating ideas and creating the final product was challenging we were happy at the end.  This year we struggle once again.   

To collaborate you must give up the sense of oneself and listen to each other's idea with an open mind.  You have to be supportive not competitive.  You have to be willing to try a new idea and maybe fail.  

Maybe today we will succeed. 

A few family photo sessions

Tis' the season for family portraits in Charlottesville, Virginia. Think of a photography session with me as an hour of fun that will last forever. As a final product the client has the choice of an online gallery or CD. It's not too late for your 2009 session.
