Benonia Jeff Maddox

Last week, Kari and I went to my grandma’s funeral. Benonia Jeff Maddox was 84. Granddad died 5 years ago, and for all practical purposes Grandma died long ago as well. After he passed, her health faded, leading to a lengthy stay in a nursing home. The talkative and feisty woman we all knew was [...]

Crash in the Parking Lot

Chris called me this morning and asked me to take some photos of an accident on the campus. This is what I walked out to find: I’m still a little surprised to see this happen in a parking lot.

Facebook Saturation

Check out the changes Facebook makes to uploaded images. I think it’s very significant? Has anyone else had this problem?

I think this could be the end. So what’s the moral of this story? Well, cameras and oceans don’t play nice together, so one [...]

Introspection

I’ve been delinquent about writing recently. It’s not that I haven’t had things to say, it’s just that this wasn’t the proper venue for them. It’s weird when your entire life is engrossed by something so private and unique that you can’t write a single thought down in a public place. Strange, huh? My life [...]

Epoch, Stories in Six Words

Inequity pains even a forgiving mind. Silence is said to be golden. Speaking can be an arduous endeavor. One moment ruins eons of good. Community is built night after night. Good is often forgotten for bad. Disoriented, following behind a blind man. Yes, the easiest and hardest word. Lost, refusing to use good directions. Problems, [...]
