Daniel and Shelby: The Wedding
Saturday April 23 Handed the camera off to my brother for the wedding. Alli, Sally and her friend Sarah Big J and Sal WHO IS THAT?! Here I am not paying attention.

Shawshank?
Monday April 11 This building near where I work looks a bit like Shawshank. I heard it may have been used as a training center during WWII. That could not be true though.

Zih Day Seven: Last Day of Vacation
On our last day in Zihuatanejo we relaxed and walked around just a little bit. Just taking it in one last time. In the village, the doctor’s office. Earlier in the week we had bought ‘Zucaritas’ or Frosted Flakes. Painting out in the market. This guy kinda looks like me. I like the details of the town, like the floral pattern around these windows. Coffee shop. Old photos of...

Austin Stone Easter
I worked on a looping background for the Austin Stone Community Church’s Easter service at the Frank Erwin Center. The concept was that the “rays” represented what Christ went through during the Easter weekend. First, they assemble from the ground into a “crown of thorns” of sorts. But these thorns quickly turn into the shine of his real crown. And finally they...

Zih Day Five: Mexican Fiesta
Wednesday, March 30 Here’s the view of our hotel from the beach. Traveling songsman In an earlier post I promised a photo of the scary guns that all the cops in Zih carried. Don’t mess with those guys. We went to a “Mexican Fiesta” at a big hotel in Ixtapa. It was half dinner half show. The food was OK, but the churros were made up close and personal and were great. ...

Zih Day Three: Chill Day
Monday, March 28 Onward with the Zih trip. The third day was much more laid back than the first two. There was a parrot at the hotel named Corola. We got our ping-pong on. I showed no mercy to my wife, beating her 2 games out of 3. She was way better than I thought she’d be though. Funny money. I like foreign Hollywood posters. The movie theater, we thought it could be fun to experience a...

Santa Fe: 04
Here’s the last of the Santa Fe photos. We took a little excursion to Chimayo, which served as a great backdrop. There’s a church in Chimayo that was undeniably like Nacho Libre. You weren’t allowed to take pictures inside, but it had some Mexican-style paintings inside and the doorways were very very low. Everything about this little shop was perfect to me. At least the...
