This is a great ministry - and one of the only ones that Kelly and I can find where the kids can actually participate! Kids serving kids. Very good. handstoheartskc.org

2010.03.18 Gates & Sons KC

There is a lot of debate about which BBQ is the best in our city. In my opinion, we have so many good places to choose from that you really cant go wrong. It is hard to beat a 'Z' man. But, on the other hand, if you have ever had a burnt ends sandwich from Gates, well you get the idea.

2010.03.08 Old in the New

Another walk around downtown brought me back to an architectural idea that I have been playing with since graduate school. Tied directly to the idea of sustainability is the idea of using the old to create the new. And while this is merely a visual translation of that idea, it excites me to realize that it is present even when we do not intend it to be.

2010.02.19 Tanner's

The first Tanner's opened on 87th Street in Lenexa, Kansas, in 1985, with Grandpa Tanner and his friends building it from the ground up. From the very beginning, Tanner's Bar and Grill in Lenexa was a place where Johnson Countians from near and far traveled for an after-work drink and dinner, to watch the local boys earn another victory on TV.

2010.02.14 Reflection

This shot is more about a method of processing a reflection image. I think there might be something to this. The simple idea is this. Find a subject where your eye can focus on both an object and a reflected object. Next, take two shots. One focused on each of the two scenes. Blend them together in Photoshop and focus on the most interesting parts of each image.

2010.01.27 My View

I recently relocated to the north end of our office that overlooks downtown KC. Pretty cool view. When I came in this morning, just as the sun was coming up, I caught this shot that fit right into the 'reflections' category.
