Gone Fishing

We're in Sarasota, FL. It's great being on vacation! We bought some fishing poles at Kmart, rather than renting for the week, much cheaper in the long run.

Debbie was the big winner, she caught 5 of the eight, I got 2 and Chris 1. What a great day. Here's Chris on the bridge fishing, the new Ringling bridge in the background.

Below is the new Ringling bridge below. This bridge replaces an older draw bridge that was in place for years.


We also managed to provide a fish for a local bird waiting for a kind soul, I'm such a sucker. I'm having fun!

The Ratz Pak

Warning! This post has nothing to do about photography and everything about small pocket pets.

Do you have or do you know someone with a pet rat or some other pocket pet? My son Chris has two of them, Sky & KoKo.


My wife Debbie has come up with a wonderful product for owners of pet rats or other pocket pets such as hamsters, mice, guinea pigs and gerbils. Her product is called "The Ratz Pak"

These are clever carriers that are slung over your shoulder for hands-free carrying, they come in all sorts of colors and patterns. If you or someone you know has a pocket pet, have a look at the Ratz Pak.

Florida Bound

Today I'll be leaving for Florida for a short vacation with my family.  We'll be on the gulf coast in the city of Sarasota.  I always enjoy visiting Sarasota, they have wonderful beaches for shell collecting and some pretty good fishing as well.

I'm taking my trusty Canon G9 with me, no sense taking all the other gear while on vacation. I'll try to post while away, show you some of the sites and share what ever comes to mind. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Another Day in Scottsbluff

You should see this schedule, my client has compiled a list of shots that's just unbelievable. They have something to be shot every 10 minutes or so, that would also include brake down and set up time... Anyway, we do what we can to accommodate the client realizing that not all the photos on the list are going to get done. We have another trip planned up here in June to shoot another list of photo want that will be equally impressive I'm sure.

Here is a shot we did at the end of the day today. Shot this using High Speed Sync on my Nikon D300 and one SB-800 with Omni Dome attached.

Our First Day

Very Busy! 646 Images shot today. This is one of them, shot in the supply room for the hospital. I lit this shot using 2 SB-800's, one mounted on a Justin Clamp, bounced off the shelves in front of the subject and the second strobe on the floor behind the subject lighting the background.

It's late, more tomorrow. DT
