I am excited to release my first free texture pack! These are photos I took during a recent shoot I went on over New Years vacation. Enjoy!
Baby's Heartbeat
Baby's Feet
Everyone should know by now that my wife and I are expecting our third child in August. Today we got to see the baby at our ultrasound appointment. Here are three of the shots the technician took for us!
I posted some more holiday photos to Flickr. This particular one I really like because of the expressions on everyones face, and the “life” in the blurred photo. You can view the photos on Flickr.
Today my sister-in-law Arielle and I went on a short photo shoot to the Old Mill in Sciota, PA. It was cold out, so we took a limited number of photos. You can see all the photos on flickr, and I also took 10 texture only photos for web and design use.
Psystar is not Robin Hood
Quick background: Psystar (pronounced sigh-star) was the company that was selling cheap Mac clones that ran the Mac operating system OS X. Apple let them live until they took an update to 10.5, hacked it to work on their systems, and redistributed it in a clear violation of the DMCA. This provided a perfect opportunity for a lawsuit from Apple and of course, Apple won. This resulted in Psystar having to stop selling pretty much everything they currently make for the time being.
Why this post: Last week I disturbingly discovered their user contributed video contest which truly embarrassed me to watch. This week they are now selling t-shirts trying to “raise money” through (ugly) t-shirt sales or straight donations.
Just in case there is any confustion, Psystar is not Robin Hood!
I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! I have had a blessed day with my family so far. And remember, today is not great because of gifts given or received, or time spent with family. Today is great because it is when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was born to save us from our sin. Don’t forget the true meaning of Christmas! (via doug.neiner)
Update: As @Rohit acurately pointed out, I failed to say who everyone was in the photo!
From left to right:
My Family: Cody, Me, Ruby, Crystal

Just in case you all didn’t know already, my daughter is sooo precious and adorable!
