In a photo class I took last year, I was told to take 100 pictures a day. This exercise did two things: 1) Made me a better photographer 2) Exhausted my children. My girls got SICK of having their pictures taken. As part of the class, at least once a week I had to go out and take pictures of people I didn’t know. These are some of the portraits I took on those “stranger” assignments.
We let our daughters dress themselves. It’s an intentional choice on our part. But the consequence is that they sometimes don’t dress the way we’d like them to. As we noticed that one of our daughters loved layering her clothes in strange combinations I encouraged my wife to start taking a picture every day before school.
My family traveled to India to be a part of my brother Ben’s wedding. His wife, Priya, is Indian. It was a fun trip and the wedding was so different than anything I’ve seen.
These are pictures from my brother’s wedding in Indianapolis. He and his wife, Amanda, were a lot of fun to shoot and they were good sports by doing everything I wanted to try.

This post is just a way to sign “hi” to Bean. I think we all know that the best way to reach you is via Google alerts. I wanted to communicate four things to you: 1. What’s the name of the URL you mentioned on the show? 2. Can you please give me free tickets? [...]
As a little boy in rural Oklahoma I got to help my hero, a cowboy named Steve, brand a cow. As much as I wanted to be a cowboy for the rest of my life, little did I know that I would leave rustling cows behind but keep the branding iron with me. Now I help individuals and businesses develop their own brands (and yes, that is a picture of me above).
I highly recommend listening to this episode of “This American Life”. They totally explained the credit crisis in an easy to understand way. To be honest, their explanation made me want to pull my money out of the bank. The only thing that prevented me from making a run on the bank was that they [...]
I’m so inspired by artist who find new ways to use technology. The logistics for this project are mind boggling. I also love how small the world is becoming.
