Oklahoma City

With all the times I have driven through Oklahoma City, Oklahoma I had never had a chance to visit the down town area but always heard about how nice it is. Saturday I had a lot of fun doing just that with a friend and thought I’d post a few photos.

Snowy Night Light

I took this photo as I walked my neighborhood Monday after the snow seemed to have stopped. I wanted to see if there was anything I could shoot. There really wasn’t but I took this. It’s interesting how much more quite it seems with snow cover ground, it very peaceful, minus the crunching of snow under foot. And the path you make leaves you feeling odd, like you’ve defaced some beautiful peace of art work as you look back at your foot prints in the snow.

Just got back from a needed vacation in Summit County Colorado where I snowboarded with friends at Copper and Breckenridge. During my week there Wesley Hitt a freelance photographer and Lee Bentham a former race car driver and now racing coach decided it would be fun to make a funny video of our week. To get the full humors effect you need to watch the whole video below.

Winter photos at my friend’s farm “War Eagle Retreat” on Christmas Day. Derek and Melinda Randle also had a new litter of Lab puppies and I had to shoot a few photos to go on their website.

Fayetteville Christmas Lights

As I was walking across the Fayetteville down town square tonight I could not help but take a photo of the Christmas lights. There was no one around and it was incredibly peaceful.

War Eagle Retreat Lands

I’m working on a website for a friend Derek Randle called WarEagleRetreat.com that is highlighting the facility he owned. Derek is one of the owner of War Eagle Retrievers a company that trains hunting dogs and runs them in field trails for thier clients so that the dogs can get there hunting titled. Recently he and his wife decided to open up their property to other dog trainers to use for a small fee. Allowing them to stay and use some of incredible areas he has been developing. These photos are part of the series I’ working on about the training facility. To see the Bunk house Barn and Kennel click here.

Pano of Neighborhood Mart

During a resent Magazine shoot inside of a Neighborhood Market I shot a series of 18 photos that I later combined using Photoshop to create this panoramic image. Photoshop has a great tool for create panos called “Photomerge”. The trick is keeping an even horizontal line as you turn and spacing the images out evenly. Some people put the camera on a tripod. This pano and the pano of the UA football stadium where both done hand holding the camera.

I’ve been working on creating panoramic photos lately and while covering a UA football game a few weeks ago I created this photo that is really a composite of 12 images that are stitched together using Photoshop.

War Eagle

I visited some very good friends of in Oklahoma this last weekend, Derek and Melinda Randle. Derek is one of the owners of War Eagle Retrievers and as always I enjoy visiting his farm because it’s such a relaxing place. Just a few weeks ago Derek became the first person to have 7 out of 7 dogs pass a Grand Field Trial Championship. For those of us who wouldn’t understand the difficulty this might be, out of a field of 429 dogs entered in the trials only 42 passed and 7 of those dogs Derek entered and trained. To make it even more impressive Derek only entered the seven dogs.

On my visit this weekend I shot photo for a project that I am working with him on. Derek is opening his property up for people to stay and train. I’m designing and building the new businesses web site WarEagleRetreat.com which will be up in the next few weeks.

Fall

With all that is happening I took the time to take a walk in the park. Of all the seasons fall with it’s colored hues and cool breezes seems to always softens the bricks and mortar of our memories. Maybe it’s the lessening of the dawn and dusk or the stillness of the evening sounds, I do not know.
