Two years ago I stopped posting to this blog. I focused my attention on my other blog, The Napkin Dad Daily, instead.  I am now migrating both blogs to wordpress and as a result will be updating this one more frequently.  Here you will find my latest professional and art-related photographic images and stories.

I look forward to getting back into this blog and hope to hear from you as I do!

This is a story of connections. We went to this financial planner about 6 months ago for some advice. In the process I talked about starting my own business and the principal planner (the guy in the front) gave some off the cuff advice about how important it is to stay in contact with your real and potential clients. I took his advice and kept in contact with him and 6 months later got a call to do their updated corporate photos and website.

In the process of doing that I have now landed another contract with a husband of one of the other employees helping with his company’s website.

My wife, Linda, took this while waiting in the ‘green room’ for me to finish the interview on ‘Good Day Tulsa’. It is a morning show that follows Good Morning America here in town. I was being interviewed about my napkin being in Time Magazine and the napkin story behind it all.

The best part was that the interviewer, Kristin Dickerson, agreed to let me do a photo collage of her for my ‘Velveteen Woman’ project!

The video is not yet available online but when it is I will post it, or a link to it.

My local newspaper ran these two articles about the napkin drawings today. I feel pretty lucky that people have caught on to the story and the napkins!

I was interviewed by a local TV station about the Obama napkin and the napkin story in General.
It was fun!

Here is the evidence we found early Christmas morning that Santa came to our house. The cookies were eaten, the milk dranken and one puzzle piece was tooken. Can you find the piece that is missing?

Christmas has to be constructed don’t forget. It doesn’t happen by itself.

New York, 1983.

I had three photos of this, only this one had the bicyclist going through. But I liked that we all seemed to be looking at him, even the mannequins and the little santa. I met the cyclist later in the day, turns out he is a friend of my daughter’s so it was another connection.

Taken in the bathroom of the Epic Cafe, where my daughter hangs out in Tucson. We waited there for two days for her to visit us and while we did we met a lot of her friends and made a number of new ones as well.

Here is the Time Magazine issue with my napkin drawing in it. Woo hoo!
