Mean Horse!

Ok, so my horse has a bit of an ornery streak in him....



No harm done, these guys play rough all the time.

As seen in Orange Magazine

Hi folks, it's been a while since I updated you on my magazine work. As I mentioned a while back I am one of the photographers that works with Orange Magazine. If you haven't seen it you should check it out. There is a list of where you can get it on the Orange Magazine web site.

I was fortunate enough to have one of my images featured on the cover of the current edition. It was part of a story we had done about motorcycling in the Orange County area. We had a blast shooting the story and as a motorcycle rider myself, it was even more fun.



The magazine is primarily about Orange County and the people who live here. There is also a place where you can nominate yourself or a friend as part of the "I Am Orange County" feature that the magazine does every issue. That is always one of the best parts of the magazine for me because you get to see a wonderful range of people who make this area what it is.

And right now they have a recipe contest going on so if you have a special recipe you want to share, send it in!

UPDATE: The saga

For those that were spellbound waiting to see if it all worked out..... Yes it did! New well pump and the water is flowing. And I still have time for the other things I have on my schedule!

The saga continues...

I really feel bad for my friend. She had some problems with her water system and we have had to dig up the well line that runs from her house to the well. It has not been a good couple of days for her. Between getting the machinery and locating someone to operate it (me) and then repairing the cracked pipe it has been quite a juggling act. Hopefully this will be the last hole we have to put in her yard......

Yes, I know this has nothing to to with photography but sometimes you just want to put pictures of toys on your blog.

A little something different!

It had been a while since I had shot any sports so after years of passing by Twin Lakes Water Ski Park in Monroe I decided to pull in and see what the club was about and see if I could talk them into letting me do some shooting sometime. Well these guys and gals were great! After introducing myself and trying to do my best to assure them I wouldn't get in their way while they were out skiing they agreed to let me spend some time shooting with them.

So I headed down there this morning and although I was getting there before 9:00a these guys were already out there making passes. These folks are serious! And that is no small understatement. As I write this one of the members, Zack, is headed to Florida for a national competition and the club also has several members who are at the top of their competitive divisions. Certainly not the water skiing I was used to!

Anyway, like I said, they were a a great bunch today and I really appreciated everyone putting up with me tagging along. I had a great time and it felt good to shoot some sports again. A big 'Thanks!' to John, Adam, Bruce, Danni, Brad, Zack, JJ and everyone else at Twin Lakes!
