With June 21st being the first full day of summer, we decided to make the most of it and spend the day on the boat. Dropping it in the water at the Cedar Key Boat Ramp, our plans were to float up to Manatee Springs which is a First Magnitude Spring that flows into the […]

Always An Adventure
A good friend recently told me that “You never remember the trips where nothing bad happens” I guess that’s why Cindy and I always have such memorable Road Trips. We were in the process of doing our annual pilgrimage of shooting the Rock Bottom Chuck Wagon Races in Arkansas. Before we left, I had brought the […]
Rock Bottom Chuck Wagon Races 2016
There are lots of subjects I like to photograph, they usually involve underwater photography, beautiful models or frolicking dolphin but if I had to pick one type of photography, it would probably be EVENT Photography. There are lots of events we attend around the country trying to capture some memorable photographs that we hope will […]
Florida Cattle Ranchers
I was recently invited to a day-long event at the Lightsey Cattle Ranch in Lake Wales Florida. This 4000+ acre ranch is home to more than 10,000 head of cattle and owned by brothers Cary and Layne Lightsey. The event was to showcase 13 members who make up the new company known as FCR, or Florida […]
An Overwhelming THANK YOU
Many of you know that Cindy was recently hospitalized for double pneumonia.

The U.P. Experience
Friends and family ask all the time if we’ll ever move back to Michigan. It’s where both Cindy and I were born, although we did not know one another while we grew up there. It has much to offer. Beautiful scenery, great people and endless outdoor activities to keep you busy and in great shape. […]
Abandoned Detroit
While recently up in Michigan visiting family, I decided to check out some of the abandoned buildings in downtown Detroit….there are lots of them in case you haven’t followed the last few decades demise of Detroit. Rather than go snooping around on my own, a good friend, William Trinkle who had done one of the […]
Cedar Lakes Woods & Gardens
The world we live in, who would think there could be places that no one has yet found? This is what I kept thinking as I wandered the gardens at Cedar Lakes Woods & Gardens! Some good friends had stopped by the Tiki Bar a few weeks back to tell me about this place and […]
E.A.R.S. Animal Sanctuary – Citra Florida
Since Pat and I are in a hurry up and wait mode before our life begins on high speed again, we have been looking at places around our area in Central Florida which we have yet to experience. Through a friend of a friend, I learned of a Facebook page called E.A.R.S., this page represents […]
