If people dream about puppies, what do puppies dream about? This photo was taken with my new speedight external flash. I bounced the light off a nearby wall to get the soft lighting effect. This is Slater's favorite pose.

This is one of my favorite photos of my dog Slater. I have numerous prints of it thrown around my home and office. It was taken one summer morning under a shady tree with my Nikon at 70mm.

The CIK Artist's turn out some great posters. Internal use only of course. This was on display at the CIK main office during my week trip to Indiana.

Very important goals all CIK employees are striving to reach. This sign greeted me on the way into the Indy office each morning.

Go to System Preferences > International > Input Menu and enable Keyboard Viewer. Also make sure Show input menu in menu bar (at the bottom) is enabled. Click on the International icon at the top right of the screen (should look like a U.S. Flag). Select Show Keyboard Viewer.

You now have access to all of your active fonts and what they look like according to your keyboard layout. Everything changes dynamically as you hold various keys such as shift, command, option, etc. Click on the + to make it bigger. No more guessing where that cross or bullet is. Leave it open while you type and watch all the keys flash, people will think you’re special.
