I May Just Have to Move
If you knew how rare a name Roeben is, then you'd know why I might just have to move here.

Life Lesson #1
I think I'm going to post one life lesson, per day, for a year.
Here's the first.
Life Lesson #1: Don't take things personally.
Today, I was walking behind this woman at work, heading toward the restrooms. I nodded to her, and she to me, then she went into the women's restroom. She stopped for a moment, and held the door open, as if holding it for me.
I'm not sure why she did that, but I think it's important I not read too much into it. She probably just had a momentary lapse, maybe having other things on her mind, and was just being well-mannered, in her way. I'm pretty sure she didn't think I was a woman.
Either way, it's best not to take things personally. We never know what people have on their minds. That middle finger on the freeway. The seemingly rude comment from a stranger, or even a friend.
As I hear often, it's not always about us.

The Giant Cube
Had myself a paying photography job yesterday. Part of the job involved taking a photo of a giant cube of a building. Not bad. You know, for a building.
I think I'll stick to kids.

Somebody Wroted That
Actually, I wroted it. This is a PSA we just finished for Kids to Kids. My words. The awesome folks at Channel 8 handled the easy part (doing the taping, doing the editing, doing the graphics and doing the voiceover).
Today's Faces
Today I had a shoot with two very charming young ladies.
I'm starting to see a pattern with these shoots:
First, there's about a 10-minute window of cooperation.
Second, after the 10 minutes, parents seem to instinctively begin bribing their kids to cooperate with cookies. It's always cookies.
Third, I'm as clueless about shooting kids as I was the first time I did it.
