Fatherly Wisdom
My family had a Father’s Day get-together on Sunday, at my aunt and uncle’s farm (that’s a bit deceptive; it hasn’t really been a farm in recent years, but it’s been in the family for generations and we still call it a farm). It was an amazingly peaceful, relaxing, pleasant day, in spite of a…

The Demolition of Zoar
A piece of my childhood is vanishing before my eyes. Zoar Lutheran Church, the church I grew up attending since before my memory of life began, is demolishing its old building. The building has stood, with many renovations and additions, since 1928, and now it’s coming down. Even as I write this, I’m watching a…

Wandering my hometown
On Wednesday, I spent the day in Canby. I went in to see if they were knocking down the old church I grew up attending, as its old building was scheduled for demolition. They had postponed, as there was (and still is) a lot more preparation to get done before they could tear it down.…

Sunset at Cedar Rock Farm
After spending yesterday afternoon with my brother and the dogs at Knight’s Bridge Park, I came home and went about my business, thinking the part of the day in which I take pictures and footage of pretty things while relaxing with nature was over. It seems, however, that Mother Nature had a bit more beauty…

Knights Bridge Park
I’ve been dogsitting my aunt’s dog, Tycho, recently, and both she and my brother were feeling particularly restless on this bright, sunny Oregon day. So this afternoon, my brother and I decided to take Tycho and Shadow, our family’s dog, on a little impromptu adventure. We loaded the dogs into the car and drove them…

Tacomapocalypse III: Stayin’ Alive
The Mayan apocalypse has come and gone, and Tacoma held the afterparty. Tacomapocalypse III: Stayin’ Alive, the third annual zombie-themed art show from Tacoma-based Treefish Studio, opened on Friday with a beer-and-brains bang at Amocat Cafe. The mood was drastically different from the past two years of zombie mayhem; instead of a small crowd hyped…

Kickstarting Shakespeare
As you may or may not already know, I’m part of a crew putting together a new webseries called Cleanthony and the Caesars. Above, I talk a bit about it and show you the most recent trailer for the series. Below, you’ll find a video featuring most of the cast and crew talking about what…
