Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog

The adventures of me, her, my boy and our dog as we navigate life in a crazy world. We love the outdoors, sports, reading, playing, and of course, the Virginia Tech Hokies and the William & Mary Tribe.

Also, I founded the GoFightWinVT Tumblr, so if you're a Hokie, give it a follow. And, feel free to check out my Project 365 Tumblr.

A clever way to save dough, the DSLR Bank is an incredibly realistic looking camera replica. Use it to save dinero or use it as a prop for shoots!

The DSLR Bank

@littlehokie would LOVE this!

I was on campus taking photos of Virginia Tech’s new Visitor Center and Office of Undergraduate Admissions and thought, “Why not?”

The question begs, however, what did you see first: the inside of the building or my reflection?

What a nice storm that rolled through earlier. I watched it roll right back out of Charlottesville from the roof of my friend’s building…beautiful.

Great photo of dark skies over Charlottesville.

(19/365 - March 9, 2011) Spring break couldn’t have come at a better time for Virginia Tech students. Since they’ve been gone, we’ve been getting soaked here in the NRV. We had 2-4 inches of rain last weekend and are currently being doused with another 1-3 inches. It’s cold, wet and miserable here in the Burg. But, it still beats living in Charlottesville!

Just another day in Bleaksburg.

I have a lot of respect for people who dare “swim” in the dangerous waters that are wedding photography.

The lake at Indian Springs State Park in Georgia

It looks like daytime, right? Aha! It was actually about 9:30 at night! 30” shutter speed + Nic running around the yard with his twirly light = my first long exposure shot!
