Gender balance restored

January 27, 2009


We had our ultrasound today. Not wanting to learn about the gender in the cold confines of an ultrasound suite, we had them write it down and place it in an envelope.

Sierra opened the envelope tonight. And the balance of the household has been attained once again.




Baby number two is a boy.

Now, we’ve just got to figure out a name.

Yup. That’s exactly what you think it is. Surprise!

Stay tuned for even more talk about even more babies, I’m sure.

Sierra at 12 months

August 26, 2008


Our friend Scott Johnson took Sierra’s 12-month photos the other day, and - surprise! - she’s just as beautiful as we thought.

Always curious

These are my favorites of the bunch. They’re being posted here because: #1 - they weren’t taken by us, so they don’t belong over at Much More Sure and #2 - BMOWP loves Sierra!

Much More Sure

August 20, 2008


“I hate cameras. They’re just so much more sure than I am about everything.” -John Steinbeck.

It’s been quiet around these parts for the past week or so. And with good reason. I’ve been hard at work, giving my newest hobby an outlet, creating a special place for all of this photography I’ve been spitting out.

Instead of ruin the quietude of Black Marks on Wood Pulp with image after image of Sierra or some random line of chairs, I’ve gone ahead and done the next best thing - I’ve branched off of Black Marks on Wood Pulp, into another blogging foray.

That blog is Much More Sure, taken from the brilliant quote by John Steinbeck - a quote that sums up everything I feel about photography; its stark realities, its unflinching eye, its clear look at the world and, how ultimately, we’re all bound by its power. A power that, no matter what, shows nothing but truth. (Barring a Photoshop skill or two, that is.)

Much More Sure. The new domain will be www.MuchMoreSure.com, but for now you can access it at photo.blackmarks.net.

Visit. Subscribe. Enjoy.

Sierra picture disguised as meta post

August 8, 2008


Just testing out the new Wordpress 2.6. And, while I’m at it, I’m checking the sweet WP-Flickr plugin.

Categories are all messed up, but I’ll be working on those. Some day. Or not. Whatever.

Here’s the picture.

Trouble a’brewin’

June 20, 2008


Sierra walking

Sierra is just weeks away from taking her first steps. And, for some reason, we’re helping her along - knowing full well that our life will pick up a few gears in terms of chasing her around the house.

Sierra, Devious.

That look in her eye? She knows what’s coming.
