During a recent shoot with the fine and talented folks of South Atlanta Flickr I had an idea for an image I wanted to create. This was not that image. What started in one direction ended up somewhere completely different as if the car started to steer itself. But I liked where we ended up so I won’t complain. Read more »

I needed a break. My wife needed a break. So we hit the road on a weekend trip and got some fresh mountain air. It was great. We hardly had any cell service, which turned out to be a bonus, except for needing the GPS on our way to the cabin. It was nice not to feel so connected.

Take a minute to think about that, seriously. Think about the last time you had an issue with a product or service and had to contact customer support to have your issue resolved.
