Why You Need a Portrait of Your Pet

Read More Why You Need a Portrait of Your Pet

Family photos. Wedding photos. Baby photos. Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa photos. We all have them and we all love them. But what about Scooter? Or Smudge? Bailey, Sammy, Fluffy, Larry, Buddy? What about them? You know, YOUR PETS? Do you have great photos of them hanging on your wall? Sure, you have your iPhone snaps and whatnot. But do you have a really, really NICE portrait of them hanging on your wall or on your desk at work? Sadly, most of us do not.

To many people, their pets are like children. They spoil them. They take them out wherever they go. Some even dress them up as little kids. Weird, huh? Well, that just means they think the world of their pets. Do you think the world of your pets? Maybe you should think about booking one of my Pet Portrait sessions!

Detailin’ n’ Chomp’n

Because this winter has been so awesome lately (read: no snow), I decided to get the Mustang detailed. First, I checked the weather forecast for the next 1.5 weeks, and it looked pretty good. Enter Classic Appreciation in downtown Rochester, MI. My Mustang is black and hard to keep clean, and while the weather is pretty warm to where I could clean the car myself, I figured I’d let the pro’s handle this one and get the job done quickly and correctly.

“Lunch”

Many people know that I like to take photos of my food. Lunches, mostly, but sometimes breakfast or dinner. I’m not sure why I do this. I think it has something to do with memorializing the deliciousness I’m about to eat.

Website Issues

So I just got my new website up and running this week, only to run into a few recurring problems. After much frustration, I decided to totally wipe the server of my site and “start over.” This wasn’t so bad as I made a backup of my WordPress files beforehand.

So, here’s to open trouble-free operation from here on out. Please leave me comments and feedback, I’d really like to know your thoughts on my new site design!

Thanks,
Thom

 

Spartans Win 2012 Outback Bowl

In case you didn’t know this tidbit of information about me, I am in fact, a Michigan State University Spartan.

In a typical Spartan nail-biter, the Spartans came back from a 16 point deficit to beat the Georgia Bulldogs in triple overtime, 33-30. The Bulldog’s kicker attempted a field goal from 47 yards that if made, would have sent the game into it’s 4th overtime. The Spartan defense was awesome as usual, and blocked the field goal to lock in a victory!

Congratulations to the Spartan Seniors! GO STATE!

Opening 2012 with a new website!

Well, it’s finally here. 2012. Since 2009 I’ve been telling myself “You should put up a blog with your website!” Well, I had my portfolio site up for some time now, but still no blog. Until now.

It took me a bit of time to figure out how to use WordPress and get everything installed on this WP theme. Challenging? Yes! But I actually had some fun trying to figure out how things worked. I still have some tweaks to make to get things “just right,” but for the most part, everything “works.”

While the “website” portion will contain my photography portfolios, the blog area will most likely be sprinkled with some posts about photography, food (of course!), cars… and my life in general. Isn’t that what a blog is, anyway?

So, take a look around and let me know what you think!

Happy New Year and welcome to 2012!
