When I was young and got scared of the dark, my parents would tell me to think about what makes me happy. That was lollipops. I would lay in bed trying to focus, not on the monsters in my closet, but on all the different lollipop flavors and sizes; some with gum in the center others with tootsie roll filling. I don't eat nearly enough lollipops today, but whenever I see one it makes me recall that warm childhood memory. This is a portrait of my neighbor's daughter enjoying her lollipop.

Back Alley Blues
The thing I love most about photography is seeing things that you may have missed prior. Depending on one's personal mood, you see different things. I have walked by this alley at least a thousand times. I saw this for the first time this morning at sunrise.

Bowling Shoes
I saw this pair of vintage bowling shoes and it brought back memories of bowling as a kid. I haven't bowled in years and I am now excited to get to the lanes and roll a few.

A Little Needling
View from the top of a needle depository. The image really sticks with you. That may be my worst joke ever.

Breakfast Jack
Over the weekend I made eggs for breakfast. I prepared an extra one for Jack. I let it cool and put it on the floor for him to eat. He ate the egg really fast, less than 10 seconds, so I had to work fast. It's good to be a dog in our house.

Jump & Chump
I friend of mine from WI is in town visiting for the week. Him and I walked over to the skate park last night to check out the activities. I had him pose against the light post as one of the boarders cleared a self made jump. As the skaters landing he almost took out my buddy. The sacrifices one makes for art.
