*Sigh* "You aren't putting this picture on Twitter too are you?"

In a real-time world, we're overwhelmed with information. It's up to us to see the world in a whole new way #focus

A view of the decor at Party Arty 2011, the Young Friends of Art annual fundraiser at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO.

My buddy @itsmeper having fun in a toy store. When asked for his take on a caption for this can: "It's a mac and cheese par-tea!"

Leaves have been shaken. Resting in love side by side. Brisk winter afternoon.

Normally I don't jump this high when it's 15 degrees out... but it's SNOWING in Paris!!!

Workin' on my war face!

A flash of an idea - the lightbulb hums.

I felt inspired by the colors, patterns, and shapes of my Native American knit leg warmers!

Glasses from the '70s. An era I wish I could've lived.

"Tinkling the ivories. . " as my grandma puts it.

Time seemed to stop when this Seattle sunset lit up the sky outside of Mars Hill Grad School ~ Creation singing!

Peering at the forest through one of the round windows in the circular stone structure on the WWU campus in Bellingham, WA.

Daddy and daughter, Ikea, a colander on her head, and trying to entertain ourselves while mommy browses picture frames. I call it Darth Fia.

Even beauty queens have bad hair days...I just might be the only one who chooses to share hers with the world.

"I wanted to take a picture of this beautiful Saturday morning. And this boat chose the perfect time to pass. I love Miami."

"Turning a disgusting, dark, cloudy, day into a memory that will last quite a while."

Exploring the unbeaten paths of my childhood home on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Take time to smell the roses!

A single, beautiful drop was about to fall at any moment; I wanted that second to last forever. I took a quick snap... and now it can.

I've always wanted to check out the LA river. I made sure that I captured the moment during my LA vacation. Viva la ST crew!

Beautiful day and bridge in Texas. It's amazing what you can find when you get away from the world.

Getting psyched up to go shovel two feet of snow! If you don't love snow, we can't be friends! SNOW!

Inspired by Marvin the Martian, I was shooting for action, ready for take-off!

Apricot is an all-white haired dog. The picture is inspired by the underlying mischievousness in this serious look.

3 minutes of whirling fun at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Los Angeles on a warm winter day.

I was trudging through the snow to get my coffee that morning, when I suddenly realized how cool everything looked through giant snowflakes.

Soaking up just a few more moments of blazing Summer sun before the cool water washes all cares away.

Walking on the Carlsbad beach at sunset with my wife & daughter, reflecting on the peaceful beauty we are surrounded by . . . #loveourlife

Color sells.

Summer, and its attendant distractions.

It is such a joy To see our son grows up A walk on a beach

His passion is music; his love is the sax. In his world music is a life worth living, loudly! There is no other option. This is my son.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

Could I have a sip? Or at least a lick?

I was just having a good day. I wanted to share the colors and the happiness!

Photo was taken from my bedroom window at 7:15am during the January 27th, 2011 Snowstorm. Luckily my office was closed that day!

These boots are worth more than your startup. Just kidding, they're from a thrift store.

Seeing clearly begins with vision.

An illuminated profile created in the hidden corners of San Francisco's Japantown.

every day with my girlfriend Kristina is like christmas on the beach! so when we saw santa during a bike ride one morning...

Go Longhorns!

Can you look me straight in the eyes and tell me I'm not terribly cute?
