Cat in a Bag


Most people drive around town with their dog either in the bed of the truck or on the driver's lap. Doty rides a mule named Reba. And instead of a dog, she carts a cat in a bag. I forgot the cat's name, sorry. But it just hangs off saddle and nevers seems to mind. I even shot the cat sitting in a plastic cart attached to a four wheeler as Doty drove around the arena and smoothed out the dirt between horse riding competitions.

So, you think you're tough? Look at the damage and realize this is from PRACTICE sessions! The guy's whose garage houses the mixed martial arts group joked and asked if I knew any drywallers who would be willing to sponsor his fighters..

3 Minute & 11 Seconds


Recently, I had the honor of shooting a dear friend's brother's wedding. I have known Richard off and on through his sister Sheila. So, I get a call to be his and Patty's wedding photog. It was held in Pacific City July 27th. The windy afternoon slowed down just enough to let me get shots of the two , seen here, with a great backdrop. And the birds added a little zing to the photo. Looking at the photos today I noticed the time stamp on the photos beginning with Patty walking up to the area as Richard waits. From this point, the time shows 8:21:23 pm. I shot a few photos adn thought, I better get a group shot looking from the beach toward the audience. Walking around I shot a few photos and just about dropped my jaw as I heard the words,"Have you got the rings?" This is definately not where i should be so, RUNNING around the crowd I got back to the center aisle area to catch the rings going on the finger s and then the Kiss. the annoucement of the couple followed. The last frame before they walk back down the aisle is 8:24;34 pm...ok that's THREE MINUTES and ELEVEN seconds!! Richard had said it was going to be short but I tell ya folks, i've eaten Oreos that take longer than that! It was( the ceremony) however, fill with a few good laughs courtesy of kilts, Richard, and Patty. To top it off Richard has been blessed with his family's ability to cook awesome ribs!!! Congrats Richard and Patty!!!!
