Countin Sheep

Cant Sleep.

Santa brought me a scanner that can scan film also so I've been scanning all my Diana + stuff as well as a bunch of really old family stuff from my dad's side for him. It's very sentimental to me. I know his father meant a lot to him, just like he does to me. I never got a chance to meet him because he past when my father was a teen-ager. I cant imagine what that would be like, but it deffinetly has made him who he is today.

Here's a shot of my Grandpa, and name sake, and my father when he was a little guy.



So for the sake of not sleeping I'd figure I'd count so sheep and give you guys some to count also.







I have few more but these were my favorites. I really love the dreamy like quality of the middle one.

Still cant get my hosting to work so i cant post a gallery of the Champs bowl, but you can see one here

Champs Sport Bowl

A shot from the crowd i liked from the Champs Sports Bowl. I'll post a gallery soon but for some reason my hosting isn't working. I've also been up for 36 hours straight so it may just be user error.

I like the faces in the frames a lot not sure about the crop, maybe tighter or just should've reworked it and got tighter.

Holy Words

So the picture of me in full on surgical scrubs, two mountain smith bags, one with a marantz and the other with my gear is from a story I'm working on a about a horse named holy words and the CANTER program, he used to be a race horse until he suffered a fracture of the sesamoid bone in his right hind leg,. This is a fairly common injury for many race horses but, Holy Words' owner didn't seem to think he was worth the time to fix and get back on the track. The Large animal hospital at MSU helps CANTER by doing these surgeries on the horses and helping to find them a place to go after.

I'm following Holy Words throughout his surgery and recovery. Heres what ran in the paper.

What's the Difference

A question was sent out over the APAD list serv recently, and the question was "what separates a photojournalist and any other hobbyist with a nice camera?"?

i really enjoyed this response

" just look to the Wizard of Oz for your answer.....

You need:

1. An extra big fat juicy heart.

2. A brain.

3. Courage."

Any thoughts?
