So, with the help of my wife’s cousin, Amanda, I’m now a published photographer. Not in any large books or in some exclusive location, but nicely enough I’m published on the January 2006 page of the Dallas Fort Worth Marine Aquarium Society’s 2005 calendar. I took a lot of pictures of Amanda’s fish and aquarium based critters and one of them turned out to be worth putting some text on and printing. While this is one giant step for mankind it is a tiny step towards the moon. No… that’s not right. This is a tiny step for me in the direction of printable, sellable, and mostly desirable photography. I want to take pictures that people will want (surprise) so that I can be artistic. My buddy Sean (warning, may contain some nudity) just blows me away with his creative eye while I sit back and try to make sure my pictures are in focus 🙂 However, in the end, I hope that I am able to take great pictures, and bring light to God’s creation – which is amazing.

Plus there’s something magical about the words ‘turkey baster’ being printed on your picture.
