I should start this post by saying the weather in Rochester was amazingly good today. The best part was that our photo class shot a 4×5 assignment outside, so we were able to spend several hours in the sunny weather rather than stuck in a studio. In the meantime, my roommate and a couple of our friends down the hall have been trying to guess my middle name. It stunned me that even I could not find my middle name spelled out online anywhere. How can I run a website with a domain name that includes my initials (EPK) and not remotely publicize my middle name?!<\/p>\n

…and the answer is, Eric Paxton Kerby. That's right, my middle name is Paxton. For those of you not well versed in Latin, \"pax\" means peace. For anyone else who cares, \"pax\" is of the form nominative, singular, feminine, which essentially means it is in the form ready to be used as the singular subject of a sentence. I'm going to leave the Latin speech there since any more will likely bore you.<\/p>\n
The name Paxton has run in my family for some time. Most recently, it is my Granddad's middle name, was my great-great-aunt's last name, and my great-grandmother's maiden name. For the record, I love my middle name as it is not a run of the mill, boring name and has some history and meaning to it.<\/p>\n
Thanks, Tim, Mike, and Jack for finally bringing it to my attention that I definitely need to put my middle name somewhere on my website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
