i hit the auto levels button while toning and this is what i got.

the lesson here kids: don't use the auto levels button.

have mercer on the fair

some snaps from the mercer county fair. after this week, fair season is over.


i'm a sucker for clean backgrounds.




yo what up.

looking for cows...

don't worry. more fair stuff should be coming through this week. our county fair beat was dead for a few weeks.

in all fairness...

fair outtakes: week 3

weird. but i like it.

fair part deux

so many reasons to love the fair!

tonight's reason: rasslin'


who loves rasslin' more than babies? nobody. that's who.



except for maybe these guys.



these girls were so excited they lost their heads!

the land of a thousand fairs

it's fair season, ya'll.

i have a new appreciation for dental hygiene after tonight's outing. thank you coury for using tooth paste and floss. you'd be amazed at what can happen when you don't.

this is the first of many nights at many different fairs. i'm looking forward to it.

helen is a hottie

and she makes a mean quilt.

this will do...for now.

camera? what's that?

sorry blog fans.

it seems the people at my place of employment had the vision to transform me into a reporter who occasionally takes pictures for my own stories.

therefore anything i have shot lately is pretty lame and from a meeting or something equally lame.

i have a new respect for reporters but miss shooting somewhat interesting assignments on a daily basis.

this has been a frustrating transformation for me and some people around me. it is good in some respects, because i'm learning a new skill. that is always a plus.

i do, however, miss the days of shooting a lot. i'd rather shoot 5 or 6 assignments a day than go to meeting after meeting. it's good to know what's going on in the area but i'm a photographer at heart, not a reporter.

thanks for humoring me while i vent.

i haven't shot anything at the newspaper that i'm really proud of lately so i thought i'd show a few frames from a business shoot the other day. this is coury's cousin's baby. his name is eli. this is his 1st month of life.

vegas, baby.

the view of mandalay bay from our room. mandalay bay somehow connected to our hotel. clay tells me there is an awesome aquarium there.


hooters hotel. somehow we never ended up going there. coury the tour guide said it wasn't necessary.


our hotel is the pyramid looking thing on the left. complete with a "save big" sign. ballers gotta ball.


best hair ever.


outside of new york, new york. it's a busy busy place.


lots of walking to be had in vegas.
