Hey forget about that Florida vacation kids, I have a better Idea for Christmas vacation!

Ah, thats my wife on the left, I think you can see why I love her; and she looks just as good in a

 bikini!

This would be one of our daughters making her way up "The Curtains" in Munising MI.  Child abuse?  I beg to differ!  she's been climbing ice since she was 5 and loves it.

Nothing like hanging out with friends and family in a warm and funky little cabin after a day on the ice. Ok, so maybe the tryptophan in the turkey dinner did made our son a bit goofy!

Proof positive that art directors lives are more valuable than photographers!

After shimming up about 7 stories on a construction crane in Minnesota, I got a great overview of a building project, and a very encouraging thumbs up from Art director Jon Stubb!

Break from winter? Conch Chowder anyone!?

Life doesn't get better than hanging out at High Tides Snack Jack on A1A in Flagler Beach.  We used to grab a beer and a bowl of chowder at this funky beach bar, (that was probably built in the early sixties) after a day of sun and surf.  All that black in the background is the Atlantic and the place sits on stilts about twenty yards from the beach.  The walls are nothing but screens and you could see people crusing down the beach through the gaps in the floor boards.

I had a shoot down in Orlando about a year ago and did the hour drive over to the place to grab dinner.  One of the few authentic places on the planet in a world of prepackaged monotony!
