Week 45 - Downtown Photo Walk (San Angelo, TX)


When you live in a town that doesn't have a highway and isn't naturally beautiful (like the way the Texas Hill Country is beautiful) you have to hunt a little harder. I enjoy walking downtown San Angelo because the architecture still has some of that old character. I'm not sure what this building was or even if it's still in use, but I thought those old mailboxes next to the stairs looked really cool. 

Week 44 - Snail Mail


When was the last time you sent a letter? Not a Birthday card or Get Well Soon card, but an honest to goodness"how are you doing, here's what's up in my life" letter? I can't remember the last time I did. Email has all but wiped out mailing letters. I think I'll send one before the year is up.

Week 43 - Trimming the tree


Putting the Christmas tree up every year is one of my favorite activities, but it wouldn't be half as special if I didn't force my friends to help. Whether they enjoy themselves or not, I do and that's what's important, right?!

Week 42 - Simplicity


How often do we get caught up in making things complicated, when they could be quite simple? 

Week 41 - Street Photography


I didn't hear about street photography until I stumbled upon a YouTube video about Vivian Maier, a street photographer back in the 1950s. All of her photos must have seemed rather dull at the time, but looking back at them now they are fascinating. I'd like my photos to fascinate someone 50 years from now too.

Week 40 - Walking


I take walks. At least when it's cool enough to do so. I'm sure I could walk when its 90+ degrees, but why would anyone want to? Cooler is better, cold is best. Thankfully the air has turned cold, though these small daisy-looking flowers seemed to survive.

Week 39 - Camping



Camping is something I love to do, especially when it's cold. In fact, if the low temperature doesn't dip into the low 60s I'm not interested.  It's even better when you can share those experiences with friends!
