She looks so mature at only 17 months, doesn’t she? Golly tamale!

What are you thinking about lately that will affect you in the next three years? What ideas will define you? The next question is to ask, what are we doing with our ideas to make them into reality? Ideas are just fine in themselves but also useless without action. I recently stumbled across this article about ideas and execution and this is what prompted my question.

“An idea is no more useful than a coupon for a bag of sugar; show me the finished cake, then we’ll talk.” – Merlin Mann

So go ahead and launch that project, or deliver your product to the client or just do something about your ideas to make them happen.

Photo Mojo is running a special on couple’s portraits starting now through February 28th. Your significant other will appreciate this and add to your memories together.

Reserve your session time at Photo Mojo but please hurry because February is a shorter month!

Last week I had the opportunity to document the people of the Dominican Republic. I spent a lot of time in Santiago and Sosua. A full write up is forthcoming of everything I saw and did while visiting.

I’m flying off to the Dominican Republic today and won’t be back until Friday night. Look for heaps of images from all over the island. I want to get a lot of portraits, landscapes and macros of bugs flying into my rum punch.

I’ll be blogging sporadically but uploading photos almost daily. Tweets will be scattered as well.

Saturday was Houston’s inaugural unconference regarding photography and i think it was very well received. Without looking at our final numbers, I would suggest there were 150 people present that were passionate about their craft. The fact we could listen and share ideas in a relaxed setting is amazing. This could not have been possible without my PhotoCamp Counselors Tracy, Imelda, Christine, Tracy, Jessica, Katie & the snappy campers.

The crowd was able to wake up and enjoy PhotoCamp because JR contributed java and bagels from the Coffee Groundz.

Mega-gracias to Marc at the Houston Technology Center for the venue and support.

Thank you to Ed Schipul of Schipul Marketing Strategies for your publicity and funding

Kudos to Matthew Westergreen of the Caroline Collective for hosting the happy hour which was waaaay happier because of …

Lennie and the entire gang at Saint Arnold’s Brewery who donated the variety of beer. Free. Beer. Unheard of! How cool is that?

We are doing this again soon, so stay tuned to our wiki and check out these images and more on our Flickr group.

Never caught his name, which is too bad because he was one of the best I have ever heard on stage. Inaugural Ball at the House of Blues.

Today, we inaugurate a new leader of the United States. My hope is that President Obama will not disappoint those people who are so passionate for him to deliver on promises of change. It may be change, but is it change for the better?

I have been enjoying much longer walks with my 16 month old daughter and I notice the little things that happen when we do this. Ever since she was a crying infant, we’d step out on the deck and enjoy the fresh air. It has always soothed me and she is the same way. Today, I noticed:

• Daphne loves to run ahead, look back and smile. Independent.
• Also enjoys stopping and running to the direction we walked from. Adventurous.
• She’ll reach up and hold my hand and smile as we walk
• She’ll reach up and hold onto my shorts pocket as we walk
• I run into the same low hanging branches of a tree we always walk by. Every time.
• She is an outdoor girl, always has been.
• She stops to look at various points of interest, files it away and moves on
• Daphne looks even more beautiful with breeze in her long hair and warm sunlight on her face and smile.
• I hope we walk forever and back
