- As mentioned earlier, I had been working on a new project when the baby came. I finally found the time yesterday to put the finishing touches on it and I think it’s ready to share this morning. It’s called “Grotto” and it’s up on the new images page now. I was a little bit distracted during its construction, but I hope you like it all the same.
- For those of you who have been asking, here are a couple of new baby pictures: Ian with his mommy, and getting his hair washed for the first time at home. I’ll try not to overload my site with baby pictures, though I am definitely stricken with “Proud Papa Syndrome”.
- Late Update — I’ve added a new version of “Grotto“, this time without the kayaker. I wanted something to be there, so I replaced him with some marine mammals. The original version, along with a version with only empty water, is in the Pickle Jar.

Thanks everyone for all the wonderful emails! I’ve enjoyed reading them and I know Jessie will too. She’s healing up wonderfully and the two of them should be ready to come home sometime tomorrow. Luckily my Mom flew out from Illinois to help me get the house straightened up!
Of course, like any proud dad I’ve been snapping away with my camera. I thought I’ve share a few more pictures of my son, this time with his eyes open. He’s changed a lot in just a couple of days! I’ve posted three photos taken this afternoon, here, here, and here (with his mom).
I started a new image late last week, but I don’t exactly know when it will be finished and ready to post. Hopefully sometime next week. Thanks for being patient with me!

I’m proud and thrilled beyond words to announce the birth of my son, Ian Minh Bliss, at around 7:30 this morning. He’s a big kid: 9 pounds, 11 ounces (just a little smaller than I was at birth). The labor was long and excruciating, and Jessie went without pain medication for as long as she could hold out. Unfortunately she came down with a fever which complicated things and ultimately Ian had to come into the world via C-Section. Mother and baby are both resting comfortably now at the hospital, and daddy is about to rest himself for a while (but not before I share the news).
I’ve taken quite a few pictures so far, but I’ve only prepared a couple for the web. They’re very similar shots. Here’s one, and here’s the other

- I’ve added some different color versions of “Latticework” in the PickleJar. If you’d like to have a different color, I recommend you open up the original in your favorite image editior and play around with the Hue settings.
