Hit me with your best shot
So, I’m back. I know, I usually have a guest blogger fill in when I go to the bathroom, but I didn’t think too many of you were missing me, especially since you, apparently, were all at the gym this week. Or at least I’m assuming that’s why I can’t get a parking spot there,…
Read MoreHank & Willie Year in Review 2008. Finally.
GOOD GOD, IT’S FINALLY POSTED! Huge thanks to my crack team of troubleshooters. Dear Record Industry, I do not want to rip off your hard-working creative artists. Not even a little. However, let me give you a little tip. If you allowed us to use your songs or, heck, even charged us a fair-use fee…
Read MoreBlame that fussy baby new year
Since life has conspired to keep me from finishing my now annual photo roundup of the year just past, I give you last year’s as a place holder. You know, in case you had nothing else to do for a few minutes. Click HERE. I hope to finish it by tomorrow. Got any good song…
Read MoreWith love from Hank & Willie
I wasn’t sure Will would come down off his “I was a sheep in the pageant, baaaaaaaa!” high in time to fall asleep, and Henry stayed awake so long I thought for sure that he would be helping Santa unpack his bags (“Hey St. Nick, you want this one over here?”) but they are both…
Read MorePhoto fix: holiday card edition
So I sure had a lot of fun with these images from H & W readers, and I hope what I did makes their photos just a little bit better. I’ve been mostly editing photos in Lightroom this fall, so it was fun to get back into Photoshop and work on an image individually! Reader…

Read MoreI heart ecommerce
Dear Amazon, The LARGE, FLASHING sign at the top of your web page letting me know how many shopping days are left before Christmas is NOT HELPFUL. Neither is your lame “Super Saver” shipping which, you tell me, will deliver my purchases promptly on DECEMBER 26. Gee, thanks. Anna * * * Griping aside, here…
Read MoreThe ones we’re NOT using in the Christmas card
Photo day for Hank & Willie, and a friend. Weather was below freezing and children were miserable. Note chocolate-bar-as-bribe in my hand, bottom left. Note also that it is not having desired effect. So folks, it’s December. I have no idea how that happened, but here’s another bulletin—Christmas is THREE WEEKS from tomorrow. Never mind…
Read MoreShe almost doesn’t look cold
I’ve taken so many photos of kiddies this fall, that it was really fun to take photos of an adult recently. This is my friend and work buddy Chelle, who is one of those people you are always glad to have around. Chelle is helpful, thoughtful, kind and upbeat—and now I can add “extremely patient”…
Read MoreWho knew two-year-olds could sit still?
Not me! This little love is Henry’s pal, and Henry could learn a lot about SITTING STILL FOR A MINUTE from his friend. Just a sneak preview from today for his family. Shannon, you all are up next, haven’t forgotten about you! 🙂 *** In other news, I’m roasting a giant turkey right now. Because…
