"Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind." - Shakespeare

Today, on Single's Awareness Day, I wish to reflect on my wife Tania. Since meeting her 3 1/2 years ago, my life has changed completely, and for the better. She has an amazing presence, and this is known to all who know her. I consider myself to be very, very fortunate to have married her, for she inspires me in so many ways, I can't count. Here's to Tania!



Whether or not you celebrate Valentine's Day, and all the Hallmark connotations it entails, take some time today to recognize someone you know; acknowledge the effect they've had in your life.

Back to basics

A few images of Abby for your enjoyment, dear reader. If you're interested, these were taken with my favorite lens, my trusty 50mm f/1.8 Canon. Such a versatile lens, it is a mystery to me why more people don't use it, and more importantly, why more people don't recognize its value. I prefer this fast, crisp, sharp lens with its inexpensive build quality than a sluggish zoom with more range and $600 more money any day. If you don't have one already, it's not too late. Go to the store!
