• Trail of survival

    Cow looking back at the smoking semi it just got out of, a photo by Random and Odd on Flickr. I told you about the guy that told me to put out into the universe what I wanted, right? It’s working…not only is it working, I am getting other people’s requests for what they want….

  • Figuring it all out….

    3, a photo by Random and Odd on Flickr. I love light. I’m that person that will see light in a weird spot and point it out to people and they just look at me like i’m weird. Well, friends that aren’t photographers. When I went out shooting with my friend, Tammy she took a…

    Run for the Fallen, a photo by Random and Odd on Flickr. I went out to Elk Grove to help Victoria and her mother put on a dinner for the runners, Gold Star Families, Firefighters and the Patriot Guard riders who all participated in the Run for the Fallen today. What an incredibly emotional event….

  • visit

    visit, a photo by Random and Odd on Flickr. I was in the middle of an Andy Katz class and someone in the class said, “I notice you don’t follow the rules. You put your subject in the middle and don’t follow the rules of thirds.” I have been drawn to his photography for awhile,…

  • Muddy Waters…

    ,, a photo by Random and Odd on Flickr. I’ve spent the last couple of days watching photography symposiums, lectures and classes and I am so full that I am exploding. When my teenage friends use to ask me why I felt I needed to go to church, why not just worship at home? I…

  • love my new monitor!

    love my new monitor!, a photo by Random and Odd on Flickr. I finally caved in yesterday and bought a new monitor. I haven’t had one since 2009 and to be honest, I didn’t really miss it. For the small amount of weddings and family portraits I was doing I didn’t need it. Sitting on…

Why I Started My Personal Blog

I started Random and Odd back in 2002 or so because it was all the rage and my mom and sister were perpetually online either playing games or finding recipes.
I decided that I wanted to be able to write what I was going through as a parent and keep them updated on what the girls were saying or doing. It started out just a way for me to vent, rant or laugh about life.
It turned into more when other people outside of my mom and sister started reading it and through the years it was just a place for Stuff Portrait Fridays, meeting other people blogging and making those people friends. It was a place to put down a photo I took that I was proud of and then it was a place to talk about the traveling I was doing. Now it’s just a dumping ground of bullshit that is swirling in my head.

I want to get back to writing, taking photos and traveling and doing a complete redo of R & 0 was needed to document.
Enjoy the minimalist look.
