Summer fun. Underwater.

A little over a couple years ago I bought a waterproof camera for my point and shoot. It's been well worth it. This is my niece Jessalyn.




My brother in-law Alec and his son Griffin.
(the battery died before I could get a good photo of my other nephew connor, we'll blame Sarah for that one, also this will be a test to see if she reads my posts. :)

Microchips

Microchip Macros. Pretty much the extent of what I can tell you about this shoot is it's in the technology world, a world of secrecy and competition. What I can tell you is that these things were small. I mean really really small. It's was quite the challenging shoot. How small? you ask..



See the regular sized golf tee (that I happened to have in my pocket). See the black looking dust speck? Well that's a plastic container... the microchip is inside that. (the little dot of gold)


And here's what the photo looks like of it.
Gotta love a challenge, haha :)

AMA motocross nationals - Freestone Raceway

Motocross is a sport I raced growing up. The most prestigious tour, the Outdoor Nationals comes to Texas now annually. It's a blast to watch these guys. Hot, but still a blast. Shown above is Christian Craig. A normally top 20 rider, he surprised everyone by leading several laps of the first moto. He had the only clean bike out there. I didn't take many pics as I wanted to relax and enjoy the racing, but here's a couple more.

Scotty Winnerstrom. I used to ride with and hang out with Scotty back in the day, so I needed to get a shot of him before I called it a day shooting. He doesn't run with the leaders, but he still qualifies for the races weekly which is a pretty big deal considering the competition out there. Good to see him.


And Chopper. My childhood and still best friend who between him and his dad got me into motocross.

Storms 2011

This year has been one of the craziest years for storms for North Texas and the central plains, but we're on the decline now. I've had the chance to storm chase twice with some meterologists. That was a blast, although extremely close and following the right cells, I've still yet to see a tornado. One of those things I'd like to do before I die. Here's some more shots from this season.











This actually turned into a tornado, but streets didn't allow us to keep up with it and see it. Bummer.
