Seeing my photo on the cover of River Region BOOM! magazine never gets old. For this month’s cover, I ventured to Prattville to meet and photograph Lane Easterling, a longtime Edward Jones financial planner.

BOOM! Magazine is available throughout the River Region or flip through the online version here: https://issuu.com/riverregionpublications/docs/boom_september_2026

Many thanks to Katie in the Edward Jones office for being an invaluable assistant in scheduling this shoot!

It’s the 100th day!

On June 1st this year I started a 100-day challenge to print one flower photo and write a wise or thought-provoking quote on the back.

I choose this pink zinnia for the final photo today and an appropriate quote for the back, “What a blessing it is to be tired from a pursuit of a challenge of your own choosing.”

I am tired! 100 days can seem a long time when you’re committed to doing something every single day! But it was also a blessing. I now have 100 of my favorite flower photos printed on beautiful art paper sitting on my desk. It has inspired me to continue to print flower photos I enjoy, though not on a self-imposed time table. I’m more prone to pick these up and look through them than I am to go through folders of old photos on external hard drives to view one or two.

I knew I wanted to share these when I started, but wasn’t sure how. It took me a few weeks to decide the best was on my second instagram account @2nd_cup_of_coffee. I’m on day 58 of sharing them there since I didn’t start on day 1 and will continue until they’re all posted.

I printed all the images using Red River Palo Duro Smooth 310 4×6 art paper. My understanding is that particular paper has been discontinued (thankfully, I had enough on hand to finish my project!) and they are recommending Aurora Natural 300 as a suitable alternative.

In the final analysis it was a worthwhile challenge. I’m glad I did it.
