Today’s Coloring Project: Ellen White’s First Vision

Monday, October 26th, 2009

It has sometimes been difficult to find artwork or photos for the series I’ve been writing and designing, “Our Heritage,” for 3ABN World magazine.

However, through a helpful suggestion from a contact at the Ellen White Estate, I found a collection of many archive images, mostly black and white. Some are photos, and some are paintings. Turns out there was a painting of one of the most significant events described in the December installment of this series, which was Ellen White’s first vision. I hadn’t expected to find something so perfect for the article.

Storm: May 8-10

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

A suddenly flaky internet connection was the first sign. Usually this means a thunderstorm is on the way, or else someone has cut my ISP’s fiber cable again. I looked at a weather map, and saw that a very strong storm was brewing across southern Missouri and southern Illinois. But I couldn’t have guessed just how bad of a storm it would be.

Moments later a weather alert email appeared, saying there was a tornado watch in effect. I heard rain and thunder, and a little later my lights flickered and went out. The wind was picking up, so I went to a window to see what was happening.

Musical Chairs for Board Members (With Photoshop)

Friday, March 27th, 2009

For a magazine project I am working on now, I had to update a photograph of our board members, to reflect changes that have occurred since the original photograph was taken.

The original photo was shot in 2007, I believe. Even then, not all of the then-current board members were available at the time of the photo shoot. I arranged for one of my coworkers, Kenton Rogers, to take one photo without the missing members, who were added later when they were able to come and sit for a photo.

1833 Leonid Meteors

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Just this week I was working on the design for the January installment of the “Our Heritage” series I’ve been writing for 3ABN World. This one includes a description of the famous meteor shower that occurred in 1833. It so happened that tonight I picked up the November issue of Smithsonian, and it contained a featurette in the “This Month in History” section about that very event! Talk about coincidences. Turns out that November 13, 2008, is exactly 175 years from the day that event occurred.
