This blog was created for posting my pictures. I'm planning on taking at least one picture each day. This will motivate me to use my camera every day. I have a new daughter, who will make great material for this, but my pictures will include other subjects as well. I work in Tulsa, which has lots of interesting sites and is located on historic route 66. All of my pictures are links and you can click on them to see the larger version.

This is the CityPlex Towers. This was built by Oral Roberts as the City of Faith Medical and Research Center. The tallest tower is 60 stories and 648 ft tall. The hospital was a financial disaster and was eventually converted to 2.2 million square feet of high-priced office space.

Day 19

Alyssa learned a new trick while we were out shopping and she was staying with her grandparents. They have latches on all their doors instead of knobs and she's learned how to open them. In this picture, she's showing us her new trick.

Day 16

I was hoping to be able to post a picture of the lunar eclipse that took place tonight. But it turned out to be too cloudy here, and you're getting my backup plan instead. This is an old "steel wheeler" tractor that is displayed in front of a local business here.

I sort of waited till the last minute on this picture. Alyssa was not in a good mood for getting her picture tonight. I had to shoot a few items I found around the house. This is a golf ball I got from the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas.

Day 7

This is a sculpture/water feature that can be found at the intersection of Riverside Drive and 71st Street in Tulsa, OK. There was not a lot of natural light today, since it was very cloudy, which allowed me to use a really slow shutter speed.

Day 5

I snapped this picture of Alyssa in the bathtub at my parents house with Shawn's new digital camera. She was taking a bath with Shawn's neice. We got some good pics with the two of them, but posting naked pics of someone else's kids didn't seem right.
