This Thursday we shoot the 60 second web video spot for the Dogheart one on one dog training program. To quote John Speiser, owner of Dogheart, ”Dogheart has set out to raise the bar of cultural canine consciousness.”
When I first spoke to John about my dog Sadie I was frustrated about walking her, or basically having [...]
We received a new assignment in the digital photography class. I’m going to make a book of about 10 pages of composited images. Since I’ve rehabbed several old houses I thought it would be cool to put together a book on one of them; it’s the before and after pictures. However, the images have to [...]

I want to tell you about the most awesome wind chimes I discovered in the Downtown Home and Garden store in Ann Arbor, MI. They are called Music of the Spheres and they have the most incredibly and beautiful sound you’ve ever heard from a wind chime. They are not the twinkly high pitched ones [...]
