Drove to my old hometown of Pagosa Springs in Colorado. Did a variety of things while I was there, which included visiting with family and friends. I even connected with people I hadn't seen in a LONG time too. My brother, my son and I did some work on the grave sight where my (mother's side) grandparents, my parent and uncle are buried. It was...

Been keeping busy with projects for my home, but also having fun with the challenge of building something new. I have never built a Cajon before, and even though you can see many great "how to" videos on YouTube, I get the idea and then make it my way. I'm a big guy, and I was worried that a tiny light duty cajon wouldn't be...

Thanks for the detail, it's really interesting.  Being a luthier, did you consider using a tone-wood like spruce or cedar?  I can't imagine pine being particularly resonant, though you might have gotten the same strength with a thinner hard wood like maple, but maybe it works differently for a percussion instrument.

Well, for one... I'm not a luthier.  Technically, I've assembled a few guitars and modified some.  So, my ventures into building something are more to just see if I can.  "I have no special talents.  I am only passionately curious".  (Albert Einstein).  That's who I am.  Yes, I could use a cabinet grade (multiply) thinner ply and make as strong a box, and quite honestly... I understand that there are woods that are considered "tone".  But sometimes I play and work with what I've got or can easily get.  Every once in a while I build something that didn't turn out well, and sometimes I have to tweek and alter, make changes to get where I want it to be.  But I'm most often pleased with the opportunity to build and create.  A serious Cajon player/builder probably wouldn't even like my build, and I'm OK with that.  I got the satisfaction that I wanted out of that project.  More to come...

So, I was thinking... even though I'm old school and don't like the term, but if a girl calls her man "Daddy", but gets herself some strange on the side, does she then call him "step-daddy"?

I like to call them daddy even if I don’t have any daddy issues 🤓

I've talked about how I like working on images from past shoots, but I encourage you to continually go back and take the time to look through those archive sets. In this digital age, it's easy to have 300-600 photos from a two hour session. It's easy to miss or not completely realize images from that shoot. This shoot from Stacey happened back in May...

She is stunning, incredible work.
geosilva:
@1snowy1 she was 21 at the time... looked like 14 without makeup, and you're right, she's quite the cutie.  She's deaf, so the challenge on that day was communicating.  There we a lot of paper writing and body language used.

First off, Happy New Years!! Best wishes for you in 2022! It's already been 5 years since I built my brother's bass guitar. It just doesn't seem like it's been that long. I'm amazed (and a little nervous) as to how quick time passes. These photos were from a shoot with model, Veronica Lavery and that happened shortly after I built it. In fact, this...

I've worked with this model a few times, back a few years ago. I have bragged about how amazing she is, how much I admire her, and how she's one of my favorite models. Not just how she looks and how skilled a model she is, but read a little about her story and struggle and success.

Our birthdays are close... it's kinda like we get to celebrate together! His Birthday is November 30th... mine is December 2nd. Easy to remember his age because he's 30 years younger than me. Blows my mind that he's just a year away from being the age I was when he was born!! Time sure does fly by! I'm a proud Dad... Happy Birthday, Geno!
