The Cultivate Project will be a series of blogs that deal with relationships and how to nurse and grow them into something unimaginable through the implementation of Scriptural ideas and concepts.  Several pastors that I consider to be great friends will be guest bloggers to give encouragement and guidance.  Although everything isn’t set in stone yet, we are all very excited about this new project and we hope to make an impact on people and how they treat and develop their relationships with others.  The Cultivate Project will tentatively launch in July.

More information will be posted soon but until then, enjoy the poster above.

I have been super bogged down with projects galore and I thought I would give everyone a sneak peak at one of those projects.  Here are a few images from a series I am working on currently for an exhibition later this year.  This was a very fun shoot to put on.  Both models are very lively, cheerful ladies and working with them was a honor.  There will be several more of this images coming soon.  Stay tuned.

This image was isn’t actually part of the series but I thought I would include it for good measure.

Below is well-house that is beside of “Nanny’s” home.  The lock for the door is of course on the outside which makes for a great prison.  My older brother and cousins would invite me to come in and then sprint outside and close the door behind them, locking me in.  For hours.  At least they brought me chicken nuggets.

On the backside of the well-house was this random pile of wood. I was told to jump in… from the top of the building.
I did it.  Numerous times.

Have you ever read Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Pit and Pendulum?”  I cringed when I read that poem in High School because it reminded me of the day that my family erected this wonderful tire swing.  To assure everyone that the rope would hold, my brother made me lay down underneath the swing.  It was of course a fail proof plan.

My grandmothers home was heated by oil.  When you would hit the oil drum with a stick, it would make a neat “gong” sound.  My brother tried to tell me that the drum would sound like a lion if you rode your bike into it.

I heard no lion.

I don’t post these comments and images to make people feel sorry for me or anything.  I post them because I love them.  Looking back on everything, I had an amazing childhood that created great relationships with my family members.  I would gladly lay under that tire swing any day for them.

Recollection: Part 2 coming soon.

I am very excited.  I started playing the Prince of Persia games when I was about 12 on the Super Nintendo.  To see that a production company has finally picked up this wonderful story line is very exciting and I cannot wait until Summer 2010.
