Here is a shot from my wedding. Me with my lovely wife, Amber. The wedding was on November 3rd, 2006, but I haven't had time to post a lot because of Thanksgiving and such. The other photos from Blackwater Falls and things are from the honeymoon. I think Amber's Mom took this photo.

My wonderful fiance, Amber, purchased this for me yesterday. It is a Canon Rebel XT (8.0MP) Digital SLR. I've been looking at this camera for a while.. The only problem is that now I want to buy an eyepeice, new lenses, an external flash, a remote, etc. etc. etc... I'm so happy.

John Henry: Great Bend Tunnel

2006-07-26T11:13:00.000-04:00

While driving through Talcott, WV you will see a statue on the side of the road with a couple of signs explaining the story of John Henry. The signs and the statue are nice, but if you drive down the road a bit and follow a gravel road following the railroad tracks you will find this treasure. It is said to be the tunnel that John Henry was working on while he died. It now has no tracks, and maybe one foot of standing water inside. You can barely see light at the end of the tunnel and the air is cool like that of a cave.

I found a website online sometime last week about tape sculptures and thought I would give it a try. tapesculpture.org
EDIT: It's a hand and coffee cup for those that can't tell. It was a bit hard to photograph.

Water

2006-07-12T08:45:00.000-04:00

I was taking photos of the kids on the waterslide. On this shot I pulled the camera away because I didn't want the camera to get wet. I ended up with a panning shot of the water flying by.

Simple DC motor

2006-06-22T13:10:00.000-04:00

It's interesting that you can have fun with a magnet, paperclips, wire, and a battery. You can see some movement in the first photo. The current flows through the wire loop in the middle creating an electromagnet with north/south poles. These poles interact with the stationary magnet below it and causes the loop to spin. The second photo is one that my brother built after a visit to Radioshack. He did most of the work on the first as well, but there was a lot of changing voltages/spacing/etc..

You can build your own here following some instructions here.

Squirrels are evil

2006-06-04T21:30:00.000-04:00

I chased squirrels for about an hour at the Capitol this weekend. They love to hide on the other side of trees peeking just enough to know your next move. You make a move to get a good shot, and they conter it.. It was fun.

2006-05-25T11:04:00.000-04:00

I went with some friends to Kanawha State forest recently to fire some rounds from Amber's (Dreamer) 9mm. We fired about 150 rounds, then I had the pleasure of cleaning it. It was a flashback of the days cleaning my M16 in the Army.
