The Road to Family

by Dr. Janet Johnson on August 17, 2010

I’ve always wanted to try to take road shots–you know the ones where the road seems endless. I found the perfect spot, my aunt’s road. It’s straight and it goes on for what seems like for miles… it also has a personality… its not perfect–it’s the road that I’m always excited to see when I get to drive down to see my aunt. I love staying with her and for a long weekend before school started I stayed out in the quiet country where some may say it’s boring, but I think is bliss.

"A" is playing and took time to look at the camera.

A found message…

August 10, 2010

Today, I was cleaning out my nightstand drawer and I ran across a Hallmark card I have kept since I worked in Abilene. I was in a card shop and I just liked the message because I was on a new adventure as a news producer at the time. Ever since then, I have run [...]

Photography Journey: Unexpected July 4th activities

Here are some shots from the parade and the Farmer’s Market. I found that cloudy/hazy/icky weather is hard [...]
