It has been great to have my parents with us this Christmas. My dad surprised me with a tanker truck he made himself from maple, cherry and black walnut. We are taking time while he is here to complete a Murphy bed and start some custom office furniture.

I just received my new strobe lights and I am having a blast learning how to make them work well with my camera. I love photography but have not taken the time to do much in the last couple years except during national park vacations. This setup allows me to enhance the pictures for my website and Instagram, etc. I started off with some of my father's trays.
