First (real) Haircut

Andris' barber is in Boise, ID.  You heard correctly.  He has gone out of his way to go to Boise for a haircut.  This is no ordinary barber shop, though.  Good luck finding it.  It is just inside a parking garage downtown.  If you blink, you miss it.  The owner's name is Biagio.  He is an animated Italian from New York.  He complains the entire time with his Italian accent whilest giving -- what I hear is -- an amazing scalp massage and haircut. 

Andris turned our dear friend, Marc, onto Biagio.  Marc and his family live in Boise.  Now, getting a haircut from Biagio is a father/son experience for Marc and his boys, Jaken and Tucker.

Begin Again

I will be going from today backwards posting photos for my portfolio. We just got home from six weeks on the road. Oh, to be back home again, for however long that is going to last. Here are pictures from our recent adventures in the Pacific Northwest and Idaho.


I currently have over 400 photographs trapped on my memory card. I keep getting the message that "Folder Contains No Images." But I know, and my camera knows...that just isn't true.


So I will just briefly editorialize that the 400 photographs come from a clear blue day in Astoria, Oregon, and include the Astoria Column and eating at the Bow Picker fish and chips. Oh, sweet Heavenly heartburn...YES!

Good friends.  Good food.  Good conversation.  Good God.

Now THAT'S the ticket!

He does his own stunts.

So does Everett.
