Flag of Texas, McKinney, Texas, 2009; Dominique and I drove down to Dallas for thanksgiving, where Lisa had encouraged me to do the Texas flag on Grandma's roof. The last time I tried to do the Texas flag, I ended up with heavy winds and grey skies, so it was nice to have the weather on my side for a change.

Me & Jared, Ponca, Arkansas, 2009; after hiking deep into the wood, we climbed out onto a bluff where we unpacked photo equipment and experimented with the white gritty sediment that kicked up.
Right after going to Dallas, I drove to New Orleans, and spent some time with my old buddy, Bonnie Garrigan; we went out to Lake Pontchartrain a few times to see how the water looked, and though it never was quite blue enough for the Louisiana flag, we threw boomerangs around. Fun fun fun!
Flag of Texas #2 This at the beginning of the Summer; I went down to Grandma's house and stayed with her while staying busy working out in the garage.
Flag of Albania, Kansas City, Missouri, 2008; we still need to redo this one! Cara Lafebvre left for Albania, saying she was never coming back. I think I talked with Jameson on the phone or something and he said he'd come help me set up; he shows up in this AMAZING Mercedes, and it just belonged in the photographs of Albania.

This idea was the precursor for everything I've done since. Some of what I wrote is silly, but I was pretty excited when it struck me.
