  • Day 231 – Girls Soccer Seniors

    ,

    I’ve been taking sports team photos for Amherst Steele High School this week. In the middle of taking headshots of the seniors on the girls soccer team, the four seniors wanted me to take a quick shot of them together. (I made sure they were okay with me posting this after I took it.)

  • Day 226 – Three Lessons of Freedom

    ,

    In this interview with Reason.tv, the Foundation for Economic Education’s President, Larry Reed, gave three lessons of freedom we are in danger of forgetting: 1. Government can provide you with absolutely nothing except that which it has first taken from somebody else. 2. A government big enough to give you want you want, is big…

  • Day 224 – Miller Bell Tower

    Here are a few shots of the Miller Bell Tower at the Chautauqua Institution. The lake was pretty rough today, so I only took a few shots, then Brad and I brought the boat back to the dock.

    The weather has been pretty unpredictable these past few days. While Brad and I were out on the boat this afternoon, and the sky and radar was clear when we went out. We ate lunch out on the lake (some sandwiches we picked up earlier) and all was well. We were a good distance away…

  • Day 217 – A Beaver on the Vermilion River

    ,

    I went kayaking on the Vermilion River after dinner today (or should I say half-kayaking and half-hiking?). The Vermilion River is too shallow, at least right now on the part I went on, to easily navigate with a kayak. I had to climb out and carry it around trees and across shallow areas countless times.…
