I tinkered for several months before I was finally happy with the look and feel of the site.  Clean and simple.  Not distracting.  I love B&W photography (well photography in general) so that was my inspiration for the site design. I will start to work on the content as I can.  And since I love photography I will be incorporating some of my work into the site as well. 

The header image is a crop of a photograph I took in the late 90's at the Santa Monica Pier with my Minolta x700 and Ilford B&W film.  That was way back before I started shooting digital.  Although it has been close to a decade it is still my favorite photograph.  And to be honest, it probably always will be.  Check out the full image in the Gallery .

You might be wondering "why JNTWEB"?  Well, it stands for Joe and Terri Website.  As every husband knows, it was important for me to include my wife.  ;) 

Enjoy.

Today marks the start of the new California hands free cell phone law. In an effort to prevent JNTWEB readerswho are California residents from receiving expensive tickets because they couldn't afford those expensive Bluetooth headsets, we here at the JNTWEB R&D Facility have created a new and inexpensive hands free device.

The Stick it and Forget it - Hands Free Cell Phone Device

The Stick it and Forget it - Hands Free Cell Phone Device comes in three attractive colors; Yellow, Red, and Black.

The Stick it and Forget it - Hands Free Cell Phone Device is easy to use.  Simply tear off a six inch piece and lay the piece sticky side down, perpendicular across your cell phone.  Then put your cell phone in your normal usage position, then press the Stick it and Forget it - Hands Free Cell Phone Device firmly against your face.

It's that Simple!!!!

Best of all, the Stick it and Forget it - Hands Free Cell Phone Device is inexpensive.  At just $4.95 plus shipping and handling, you can't find a better, more user friendly, battery free, and reliable device on the market.  So order now! **

**Yes, this is just a joke! Please don;t try to order.

There was a little gift waiting for me on the dinning room table today.  It's a golf club pen set.  Thanks honey.

As mentioned in the previous post, "Our Two Movie Stars", Tylor did some modeling when we lived back east.  I just wanted to post a few samples from his Portfolio for those who haven't seen them before.

Approximately three years ago, when we lived in PA, Tylor was doing regular modeling jobs for Toys R Us and Lillian Vernon.  During that time, his agent Kathy got him and his brother a job as extras in a movie shot near Philly called Blur.  They got to use their own bikes and spent the whole day on set.  They seemed to enjoy whole experience.  Especially the catering tent.

The movie wasn't released in theaters but it did finally come out on DVD.  Here is a short clip of the scene they are in.  Don't blink, or you might miss them.

Warning! Adult Language!

For more information about the movie as well as the theatrical trailer, click here. 

On the morning of May 30th, Tylor graduated from Jr. High.  Gosh I'm really beginning to feel old.  He'll start high school next year.  He wants to be in football and starts summer practice on Monday.  The ceremony was held at a local high school.  Luckily the weather was very nice and it wasn't hot at all.  There was 300+ graduates, so the ceremony was a bit long.

Tylor we're proud of you.

Terri added yet another animal to our Wild Animal Park, aka our home.  The local supply store had a box of cute little ducks that she just couldn't ignore and ultimately couldn't live without getting one.  She Named the duck Dexter after the main character (which is a serial killer) in the show Dexter on Showtime.  I wasn't super happy about the addition, so I didn't bother to take any photos when she was little.  But I think she has has grown up (and fattened up) very well.  I keep thinking we should have a Bar-B-Que.  Yummy.....

Have a great day!

I was plyaing around with the camera when I came up with the bright idea of taking product shots of our watches using natuaral light.  A macro lens would have probably been better, but I don't own one and don;t plan to get one.  Here are some samples of the mini shoot.

I'm not sure which neighbors yard he borrowed them from, but Avery gave his mother some cute little flowers for Mothers Day.

It's official, I've won the Annual Inky Dinky Do Scavanger Hunt.  Unfortunately there wasn't as many completed hunts turned in this year as last year.  But as usual I enjoyed the process of taking the photos, "go figure".  Anyway, if you would like to see this years submissions click here .  To see last years submissions click here .

Well it's that time of year again.  It's the annual Inky-Dinky-Do Scavenger Hunt.  All photos had to be submitted by Midnight, Sunday, May 4th.  I made the deadline by about 3 and a half hours.  You can go to the Gallery in the menu to the left, or Click Here to see my photo submissions for this years hunt.

I feel I did a better job with last years photos.  I just didn't have the time "I wanted" to spend on the project this year.  But it was fun, and that's why I do it.  For those who know me, if it involves photography, computers, or food I'm all over it.

Austyn joined the "Rosedale Racers" cross country and track team some time back.  They have had a few meets already.  I'll post photos as I'm able to.  Here are some pictures from practice.

The only problem with Austyn taking up the sport of running is that unless I want to run along with him my opportunities to see and watch him are limited.  Luckily I had the camera to keep me busy.  The photos below are from my "waiting for austyn to make another lap" time periods.

Back in 2003 I accepted a position with the company I was working for at their head offices in New Jersey.  When we moved 3000 miles across country we had to leave our dog Cloe behind with a friend.  After about 4 years we moved back to Bakersfield, and Cloe was re-united with our family.

Welcome home Cloe!

Once I painted my wifes pc the kids wanted me to paint theirs.  Suddenly a simple "Honey Do" turned into this big, but at least inexpensive project.  The Green case is Avery's and the Yellow case is Austyn's.  Tylor wants his case painted digital camo.  That will take a little more time then I have right now, so he'll just have to wait.  Here are the before and after photos.

On April 17th my wife (Terri) and I celebrated our 15th Wedding Anniversary.  With a little help from friends and family we were able to take a cruise (just the two of us, without the kids) the week of our Anniversary with stops at Catalina Island, CA and Ensenada, Mexico.  Although the trip was way to short, it was incredibly fun.  I would recommend to anyone that they give a cruise a try.  I know what you are thinking, “I’ll get sick”, but we had prescription patches for sea sickness for the entire trip and we didn’t have any problems at all. 

 At dinner on our Anniversary, our server Melichor brought us a little cake.  Our favorite food on the ship was the Warm Melting Chocolate Cake.  It was so good.  I’m hungry just typing about it.
