My friends Jason and Jessica Williams are doing some seriously talented photography over at their company Session Nine. They did a great job with both Amber’s pregnancy photos and Leah’s baby shots. Edgy and classic all rolled into one. If you need some work done give them I shout.
Here’s one of the shots they did [...]

On July 2nd, Leah Fe Walker was born at Good Samaritan Hospital to proud parents Andrew (my oldest son) and Amber. Of course she is beautiful. She’s done a lot of sleeping so far. When she’s been awake she’s eating, then it’s back to sleep again. Guess she’s determined to get a good growth spurt going [...]

I reached a 25 year milestone at Intel and was given lots of things to choose from as a gift. I thought this would be a great addition to the hobby bench!

I’m enjoying flying planes far more than helicopters lately and given the choice, I’d rather fly my 2200mAh 3S Fusion-Pack lipos in my 3D Hobby Shop 47” Katana instead of the T-Rex! Here’s what you’d be getting:

Align T-Rex 450SE V2 (carbon fiber frame)
Align motor that came with it
Align ESC that came with it

I’m Buster and I’m the newest addition to the Walker household! I’m a little Pug with a cute little mug. This is only my second day with my new family but I’m already showing them that I like to play with toys and I’m pretty smart too.
 

This past April, I had the pleasure of attending Cornerstone’s Men’s Retreat held at Young Life’s “Lost Canyon” in Williams, Arizona. It was an amazing venue and the facility was first class all the way. Jonah Werner was the Worship Leader and he also gave us a concert Saturday night. Amazing musician and storyteller much [...]

Here’s a few quick photos from our trip to San Diego with my wife Donna, daughter Brandy, son Andrew and daughter-in-law Amber (expecting!). Click on the thumbnails to see a larger image…
                
I’ll add a video of the trip once I finish editing it!

I recently went on a motorcycle ride to benefit brandedPhx and became aware children all across the world, all across the US, right here in the Phoenix metro area are being held captive as sex slaves working the streets. Yes, children. Lured, abducted, trafficked and held captive against their will to be used as property. [...]

Here’s a few photos of the new 40” Edge 540 from 3D Hobby Shop. The first set is right after I finished building it in its stock graphics package.

Here’s what it looks like sitting next to my 47” 3D Hobby Shop Katana.

While it was a beautiful plane just the way it was, I really like [...]

If you’re interested in keeping up to date or just staying in touch, you can usually find me on Twitter and/or Facebook! I also post photos on my PhotoBlog on a semi-regular basis (ok, whenever I get inspired) and I post videos on Vimeo. One place you can definitely find me is out on RCGroups [...]

I spent a Friday and Saturday at the Arizona Electric Fest in northeast Mesa. I would have spent Sunday as well but our checking account wouldn’t have survived it! Here’s some photos and videos I took at the event. Some of the photos were taken by Chris Wuester while I was videotaping.

I’ve been flying (after finally figuring out how this plane wants to land!) my 3D Hobby Shop Katana quite a bit lately. It’s a 47” wingspan joy to fly. I left off the traditional Katana graphics and put on some Honda Racing decals instead. I also put some Fusion Pack stickers on the cowl as [...]

A few of us from Cornerstone Christian Fellowship photography group took our cameras out last Wednesday night to see what we could capture at the monthly Art Walk event. Here’s a few shots I took…

When Andrew and Amber arrived for Thanksgiving dinner they gave us a new Christmas list. Since Andrew is famous for adding more things to his “wish list” each year I didn’t think anything special of it, that is, until I saw my wife’s reaction. She handed the list to me and I fully expected to [...]

I started Saturday off by attending another Second Saturday Cornerstone community event at Harvest Oaks Assisted Living Center at Anderson Springs. Earlier in this blog, I posted a video from my first trip there. I got to spend some time getting to know Art better and a new lady named Evelyn. What a great way [...]

On Sunday August 31st, Lee drove his RV down to the SAGE field near Tucson with George, Charlie, Scott, Vu, Brad, Dan, Tony, Jim and I onboard. Dirk and Jason followed in Dirk’s Subaru. It takes about an hour and a half to get from The Bowl to their field, which is located near Marana [...]

Here is a video of my friends throwing and catching their Discus Launch Gliders (DLG) at a local schoolyard here in Chandler, Arizona.

My son Andrew and I drove up to Snowflake, Arizona to see my Mom on July 3rd and 4th. Andrew drove his Honda Element, which gave me an opportunity to shoot some scenery with my Canon XH-A1 using Steven Dempsey’s PANALOOK preset.

Groups divide up and head out into the community do help with clean-up projects, construction, working with the homeless and many more projects. It’s also an opportunity to share our love of Jesus [...]
