I spent most of the last week in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, with my beloved wife (!?!?!?) Farhana Ali, on our honeymoon, enjoying our first week together. I can’t begin to express my wonder, gratitude, amazement, joy, excitement, and so much more at 1) being married; 2) being married to such a fabulous woman; and 3) …

James and Hana’s Big Day!
I never dreamt this would happen, but it has! Alhamdulillah! “Pics or it didn’t happen!” you say? Well, see below! I can’t begin to express my joy and gratitude. I am deeply blessed. I’d like to thank Brian “The DJ” Cox, Tania “Mustang” Sultana, and unnamed waitstaff and passersby for taking most of these pictures. …
7/52-34 Costa Rica!
So the week of August 18 found me in Costa Rica… a business trip to train some new team members. It was quite exciting for two reasons: 1) it was my first time to Costa Rica (or anywhere south of the Rio Grande); 2) it was my first business trip. Guess what? The second first …

7/52-31 exposing to the right
How many times have I tried to shoot at night for this project? And how many times did I shoot at night during 2012’s 365 project? In any of those times, did I ever try to find a manual setting that would capture color and light the way I saw it? Of course not. So …
7/52-30 Fold(s)
I downloaded VSCOcam in early July, but hadn’t taken it for a proper test yet: one of those (many) impulse camera app purchases/downloads that I only rarely regret, as most are worth the free or $0.99 cost. I read that it was nice, simple, and powerful, and thought it might be a fun addition to …
