Beautiful Alex . . .
Nashville Tn. has lots of beautiful people they say. Well here's proof! Alex is 3 years old, and drove up to see me today with her mom & dad, Lindy & Kevin, and her brother & sister, Jason & Alissa. She made pictures with the Bunnies, and she was also a fairy princess too! Did I mention Alex is my niece? We had to go to Pagliai's & get some pizza before they headed back to Nashville!
Amazing Learning Experience with Joe Bussink
Wow . . . I just recently came back from schooling ( I take refresher photography classes and courses with the world's top photographers when I get the opportunity) with an amazing photographer, Joe Bussink. You may have never heard the name, but I'm sure you have heard of the people who adore his talent and hire him. Like Christina Aguilera, Kelsey Grammer, Brendan Fraser, Christina Applegate, Jennifer Lopez, and many other celebrities, who have sought after him to photograph their wedding. The most amazing thing you learn when you talk to him is the passion he expresses about the photograph, as he flips thru a wedding album be has had the pleasure of photographing. Of the many things I learned while talking to him, his passion for the moment, and capturing that moment for our client has really opened my eyes in a new way. Thanks to you Joe, and also Marcus Bell from Australia for sharing their talent, wisdom, and love for capturing the image.

Boys will be Boys
You will find out interesting things when you have sons, like...
1.) A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep.
2.) If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.
3.) A 3-year old Boy's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
4.) If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound Boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape It is strong enough, however, if tied to a paint can, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 ft. room.
5.) You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.
6.) The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.
7) When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.
8.) Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.
9..) A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.
10.) Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4- year old Boy.
11.) Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.
12.) Super glue is forever.
13.) No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.
14.) Pool filters do not like Jell-O.
15.) VCR's do not eject "PB & J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.
16.) Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.
17.) Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.
18.) You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.
19.) Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.
20.) The fire department in Murray, Ky has a
5-minute response time.
21.) The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
22.) It will, however, make cats dizzy.
23.) Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.
24.) 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.
25.) 80% of Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

Babies are a gift from God . . .
I totally believe this! I remember all the wonderful moments with my children as they grew up and I look at the photographs of them as small children and I relive the memories. Sometimes I thank the Lord for the opportunity to do the job I do, and capture memories for parents that hopefully mean as much to them as my portraits of my children mean to me after all these years. Here is an image I made of a tiny baby today ( 6 days old). Praise the Lord! - Ken
