Photos From Havana

I finally got around to posting some photos from our trip to Cuba in, yikes, 2007. More to come in the next few days.

Bee

Miner Bee March 2008 series 1-3, originally uploaded by Dalantech.

Looking for some bee reference for a logo on flickr and found this amazing shot.

Aidan is 8 today

My son Aidan turns 8 years old today, which has happened much too fast. Happy birthday, trouble.

We’re all going to Hell

This seems like an appropriate post for the National Day of Prayer. This is the song that introduced me to The Bastard Fairies, and it’s still one of my favourites. If you like this song, and you’re cheap like me, you can download 12 songs from Memento Mori, their debut album, from here.

Persistence

My friend Aidan is travelling through India, and has set up a blog to record his experiences. He happens to be a fantastic photographer (see below, and check out his site for more examples), and has included some great shots from his travels in his posts.

His entries are descriptive and thoughtful, and there’s a real sense of the people and places he’s seen in everything he writes. Check it out.

Vacation

Wing

We’re going to Cuba for a week. Hope to come back relaxed and with lots of new photos.

Under the sea

I was working in my office just now when my son opened the door. He looked up at me with his big blue eyes and, with an angelic smile, asked “Daddy, can we please get a fish?”

How do you say no to such a request? So we’re having halibut for dinner tonight.
