I made a motion picture, this is just a snippet. (hit play, then pause to let it load before playing all of it).

at ten i was climbing trees, building forts, engineering showers (don't ask), playing baseball, going to my friend Max's almost everyday and causing trouble.  what is Luke doing at ten? all the same, and making films.  this creative, modest, goofy, spirited boy has just finished his trilogy, Swords and Shields.  Luke has created a world in which adults can join him.  we're not left trying to grasp what it's like to be youthful nor trying to remember a limitless imagination.  and yet while film making doesn't define Luke as a person, it certainly exudes his talents. 

i was asked to make a few fotos of Luke the other day for a local publication.  i hope you get a real sense of him.

hanging with the girls...

i hadn't seen Elliott since he was born (see pictures here of new born pictures).  i couldn't believe how big he's grown in four weeks - it's amazing.  new life is such a beautiful blessing from God, nothing to take lightly nor take for granted.  Elliott, Kayley (his mom), and i hung out and made fotos of this calm baby and his mama.  i'm very appreciative of Jeremy and Kayley who are close friends from high school, and their willingness to let me document their baby's growth and life. i cannot wait, and i know Jeremy and Kayley can't either, to see Elliott continue to grow and get bigger and bigger, and eventually be all grown up.  ooo, this just makes me so excited to have a family of my own!  until then, please have a looksy of Elliott and Kayley.
