I spent some time this weekend playing with my new(ish) Cintiq tablet. I had the idea when making dinner that it would be fun to re-imagine famous movies in a simplistic style, similar to that found in many book covers. “Kong” is the first of at least a couple more to come.

There are times when I forget how magical D.C. can be.

I get a lot of my photo titles by searching my iTunes for a key theme or object found within the picture. Oftentimes a song name comes up that fits the image perfectly.

I can’t remember what I searched for to arrive at this title, but the song is the same name as that sung by Mr. Frank Sinatra.

It fits rather perfectly.

I’ve got a lot of photographs from the last couple days that I’ll be posting. It has been one of my most genuine summer-feeling summers, albeit a busy one.

Like most kids, I had a radio flyer wagon. My brother and I would take turns dragging each other around in it, often daring the other to take it down The Hill nearby. This usually resulted in a rather robust collection of bruises and scrapes, respected reminders of our war with gravity.

Reading Calvin and Hobbes, even over a decade after it concluded, still brings me back to those muggy days when we eagerly awaited a slight breeze, a cool glass of lemonade, and a neon band-aide.

I particularly like this photo I took while wandering through the National Zoo last weekend with my brother.

It’s hard to top the views from the family farm.

Adam and I have posted another chapter in the saga that is Play the Next Track.

Most people may not know that it has always been a childhood dream of mine to visit the actual Sesame Street. Randomly seeing them onstage is one more step in the right direction.

I tend to take a lot of photographs of Sara. And while I think many of them are visually stronger than the photo above, this has to be my new favorite.

While at a family friend’s cabin in West Virginia, we grilled up dinner and drank margaritas. Full and happy, we all walked a short distance to this lake, which was edged by a round mountain.

The genuineness of her smile combined with the fact that there was a man walking his horse in the background are really what do it for me. Oftentimes the candid shots in the middle of a clicking frenzy are really the best.
