Merry Christmas!

My parents used to tell me that ever since I was a little kid I've always been enamored with lights. Well, true to form, this holiday season I hit up three different tree lightings! And another thing I love is the music! Even though it's not socially acceptable, I confess I've been listening to Christmas music since after Halloween. ;) So here's a little video of my fun, festive holiday season filled with lights and lots of Christmas music. I hope it helps everybody get in the holiday spirit! Merry Christmas!!

New York City

A friend of mine from Namibia has always wanted to visit the Big Apple, so he planned his trip to coincide with my drive south so that I could meet up with him there. I spent three days with him exploring the sights of the city. Since both of us are photographers, needless to say many photos were taken. Here are a few of my favorites, but you can see more on my Flickr page here. (Click on any photo to enlarge)
