random tuesday thoughts
On my desk top right now:This is a game I used to play where I take stuff off my desk and put it into my scanner.[I hate the sound of "used to" - As seen in this previous sentence.

2009 through my lens
Last night I went through my photo albums and picked some of my favorite shots of 2009. It was a lot of fun! But it also proved to be quite difficult, on average I shoot 400+ photos at each photo shoot or concert, needless to say it was overwhelming going through 296 total events and then add all of my trips/vacations. Such a beautiful year filled with incredible memories. I hope this year brings more of the same. Share → Tweet

If so, I love you FOX.Jeron Johnson will be the best cummunicator of all time. Share → Tweet
the future is here
The future is here! Or is it?I’ve been looking at images from the 1950′s, 60′s and 70′s. Images of what they thought the future might look like. It’s really interesting. It seems to me that they thought the future would bring great advancement in transportation. In my opinion I believe the greatest advancements have been made in communication and information systems. In those earlier days, there also seemed to be an idea of Utopianism. Clearly, that won’t be happening… Looking back through the last decade, the future has brought hope... Read The Rest →

How important is 2010? More important than you might think. Look back at the last ten years. On a global level the last ten years have been a complete nightmare: Natural disasters, medical epidemics, civil unrest, war… The list goes on. With a new year approaching I have my hopes for a peaceful and happy new decade.
