Matthew and I participated in Disaster Relief and Recovery training yesterday and today with the North Carolina Baptist Men (despite the name, you don’t have to be from North Carolina, be a Baptist, or be a man to participate). From their website:
The purpose of the North Carolina Baptist Men (NCBM) is to help Christians [...]

A long, long time ago in the the blog galaxy, I wrote a post about talking like a pirate. Who knew that six months later, that term “pirate” would draw the most views to my blog. 556 views to be exact. Pirates (90 views) and Will Turner (70 views) don’t even come close to touching [...]

I got such a great response to the photos that I posted last week that I thought I would write a little how-to post to explain how I went from the “before” to the “after”.

The “before” shot wasn’t too bad on its [...]

Since I had so much fun with the green chair before and after photos yesterday, I decided to play around with some photos I took last year while visiting Tryon Palace in New Bern, NC. I really like how by using just a few different layers, I’m able to really make the colors pop. I [...]

It was beautiful here today, warm seventies and sunny. The great weather combined with an extra hour of light made me want to prowl around in the yard. So, while my Anniversary Chicken (which was excellent and oh so easy) was cooking, I took my digital SLR and Kodak Duaflex to try out some more [...]
