My most important photography assignment to date!

June 15, 2008

Today, I worked as a second shooter to an up-and-coming photographer who has admired my work for the last few years.  Actually, he thinks that I am one of the best photographers in world, but has reminded me on more than one occasion that my job is actually to be the world’s best dad also.  The morning was spent with my seven-year-old son, Christopher.  Christopher has, on more than one occasion, picked up a camera and taken some great shots.  I want him to enjoy shooting and feel at one with his camera.  I want him to have the confidence that many of todays photographer’s lack.  At the same time, I want him to see the qualities that some other photographers have to help others.  Photographers like Mark Eric, Susan Stevison, and Azar, who actually love to advise, mentor, teach, and give back – that’s who I want Christopher to look up to and admire.  Not like others that I won’t mention who are mean-spirited and arrogant.  From my standpoint, these guys are bad for the business.  There is certainly enough work to keep us all as busy as we want to be without trying to hurt each other with pettiness and lame stunts!  Well, off of that soap box!

Christopher and I went to the Alexandria Zoo and started out on what he called his Safari. I let him shoot what he wanted, how he wanted and answered any questions that he had.

Crossroads Cup 2008

April 6, 2008

This was our first year to shoot the Crossroads Cup and we were honored that we were asked.  This is not our first rodeo and I have to say that I was impressed with the fact that every game that we shot started on time.  The one disappointment was the weather.  It rained most of the night before and the edges of the fields were just sloppy.  As a kid I enjoyed the mud, but as an adult I don’t enjoy it that much. I left home in a summer microfiber shirt and shorts. . . . . . that was a mistake.  It was cold and windy.  I thought I would tough it out, but by lunch I had given up on being tough.  I had to run home and while I was there I put on a long sleeve shirt and warm-ups.

I had a great time and met some really nice folks from all over the state.  I even got to see my long time friend Houston Jones, from Lake Charles.

Well despite the weather being overcast and cold for the entire day we had a blast.  I have put up a couple of pictures that I think sums up the day.

It’s Hammer Time!

June 1, 2007

I had the fortune of shooting the first hammer time bike trial last Thursday, and I just haven’t gotten around to posting anything about it.  Run Wild put it on and it was the first time trial that I had ever been to.  It started raining and then I had to deal with some low light conditions but overall, I did OK.  Below are a couple of pics and a slide show for you entertainment.
