    Getting Older

    I turned 40 yesterday. Or, as I have been saying for the last few weeks, 39 + 1. The joke’s gotten a few laughs and eye rolls but honestly it’s not that far off how I feel about turning 40. When I was young 40 seemed old and it was hard to even imagine myself…

    Valentine Photowalk & Sunset

    It was my photo group’s last shoot of the year yesterday. It was a bit of a crazy shoot – we went to Valentine for the sunset, only to get hammered by a storm which sent us scurrying for cover and ended the shoot early. Then on the way home, the sky absolutely exploded with…
