Why Orange Shirt Guy?

The picture at the top is of my younger daughter running toward me from behind and me taking a picture of it all reflected in my older daughter's eye.

Attempt No. 1:  A guy that enjoys doing things on the internet and is pretty sure that there is very good stuff that can come from working with Al Gore's invention.

Attempt No. 2: Since mid-2008, I'm the daily parent to my favorite four kids on the planet, journaling and writing to relieve stress, and remembering to love and to thrive (oh, and also to lust after new gadgets - I need to do that too).

Attempt No. 3:   In college, I took pictures "for a living".  While taking pictures at the parties and events, people would invariably say, "Hey Picture Guy!" to get my attention and to take their picture.

Long after I graduated, I had a minor notion to take pictures at gatherings again, but thought that people probably wouldn't say "Hey, Picture Guy!" too much more.

About that time, I stopped in Lazarus and saw three identical orange golf shirts on sale for $5 each -- I saw it as a sign, purchased them, thought that people might remember  "Orange Shirt Guy" and hence the name of the website.
