Running Into Home Folks
For just a little while today I felt like someone I knew. Sitting in the Justin Arena waiting for the barrel racing competition to begin I caught sight of a slender woman in a white coat on the other side of the building. Recognition stirred in my mind but I was too far away to [...]

Rodeo Photos
Took awhile to crop these and clean them up but I finally finished the photos from Friday night’s rodeo. This batch includes the grand entry, bronc riding, bulldogging, barrel racing, roping, cutting horses, and bull riding.

Cold, Rainy Sunday
As the title implies, we’re having a cold, rainy Sunday. It’s the kind of day when the cats want to do nothing but nap and R. and I nod off over the paper. There were more productive things I could . . . should . . . have been doing, but instead I’ve been playing [...]

Saturday Morning Walkabout
The two-week photo safari at the stock show convinced me to buy a new Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens to use in low light. This morning I just walked around and played with what one reviewer described as the cheapest feeling best behaving lens he’d ever used. I can’t remember the last time I spent $70 [...]

Maybe He Can Rest
This morning I turned the alarm clock off and rolled back over. I needed a little extra sleep and the only price I paid for that was a destroyed roll of toilet paper in the bathroom when I did get up. The Little Men have decided, as I feared, that 6 a.m. breakfasts work for [...]

Through A Child’s Eyes

Fantastic morning with the camera! One of those “could do no wrong” days. For this series of shots, taken during the tie down roping, all I did was a little cropping. A truly joyous experience for a photo hog.

The Boredom That Was My Day
Today I disciplined myself to stay at home and catch up on the odd little web jobs. Consequently, it’s been a day of mind-numbing boredom trying to accommodate clients who get anal about a pixel’s position left or right. Fortunately rampant cursing helps enormously. Both R. and the cats know to steer clear of me [...]

Sunday Afternoon Photo Catch-up
Well, I’m cross-eyed but there are 68 new photos up over five nested albums (Mules and Donkeys, Poultry, Sheep, Hats, and In The Saddle) here. I’m working on a series of boot shots but don’t have enough images yet to create an album.
Interestingly enough the boot photo I posted earlier today was an example of [...]
