Faces August 27

This is pretty much why I decided to get a video camera.

How do you balance your life? August 20

I've had a pretty good stretch of productivity lately. But that's how I am. I go through stretches of crippling negligence and then burst into action. It's a cycle I now accept, but I wish I had more control over it.

I'm not wishing for mega-super-awesomeness all the time. I just want a little bit of mindfulness. How do you manage? Send me an email: me [at] kishba.com

Thanks.

Chicago in two days and one ordered list August 17

Jerry, Lacey, and I took a spontaneous road trip to Chicago last weekend. We stayed with her friends who have lived in Chicago for quite awhile. With their help, we did a ton.

Visited an adult arcade. By adult, I mean they served beer. Awesome.
Closed down a bar.
Suffered through a meal at White Castle.
Tried (and loved) Italian ice.
Spent a few hours at the Field Museum.
Drove around Chicago and saw the city from Lincoln Park.
Visited the North Michigan Ave. Apple Store. Cross another store off the list!
Had the best pizza of my life at Giordano's. Seriously.
Watched the sun set over Chicago from the 96th floor of the John Hancock building (the Signature Lounge).
Walked around the Navy Pier.
After listening to live music at the Pier, we stayed for the fireworks show. It's amazing that they launch fireworks twice a week during the summer. And each display is cooler than the Midland 4th of July fireworks.

The drive back was pretty long, but my Garmin got us home safe and sound.

Livengood wedding photos August 15

Paul and Anne Livengood were married July 19 in Saginaw.

Click on the photo below to see my favorites from their wedding. Be sure to look at the reception photos — Apple Mountain was a beautiful venue for their reception.

Back from the dead August 15

Hello, faithful readers. My limited attention span and a few hosting hiccups have contributed to some foul stagnation on this blog.

To clean things up, I've decided to use kishba.com as a playground for my Ruby on Rails development and photography efforts. I may not be the most dedicated blogger, but hopefully this site will become interesting again.
