Good times. Collin and mom with elder statesmen of the Alspaugh clan, and uncle Don Caruthers. Smackover Park, circa 1984
Starting Fresh
I’m emerging from a haze of sleep deprivation and lethargy. The girls are growing up. They can successfully go to the bathroom by themselves, most of the time. I want to reinvent this photography website. Starting now. This post is a test.
I don’t have time for this.
In the past three years, posts here have been sporadic at best. This site and my interest in photography started in a blur and kept pace for a pretty good stretch of time. I’d post stuff here several times a week. Sometimes daily. Being single and bored will generally allow for that kind of frequency and devotion on most any semi-creative endeavor. So, who knows what will become of all of this. I seem to always be putting photos on Flickr however, just because flickr is easy and quick. Below is a little something I’ve whipped up that will pull the 20 most recent flickr photos from my account.
Be warned, for I’ve entered a phase of life where all my photos involve household pets and infant children:

Nice spur of the moment overnight float trip. Good weather. Small fish. Great time.

Flat Broke
From Shorpy:
August 1936. Family between Dallas and Austin, Texas. The people have left their home and connections in South Texas, and hope to reach the Arkansas Delta for work in the cotton fields. Penniless people. No food and three gallons of gas in the tank. The father is trying to repair a tire. Three children. Father says, “It’s tough but life’s tough anyway you take it.” View full size.
