   This is a view from my back porch. It is actually a composite of 6-7 separate photos going left to right across the horizon. I then “stitched” the photos together on my computer to create the panorama.
    You can learn two things from this photo. First, I have a lot of time on my hands. Second, I have a passion for photography. I’ve been into photography for most of my life but only in the past three years have been able to devote the time to study and practice the art. Also, the advent of digital cameras and photo software have made it financially possible to pursue my hobby.
    I created a website and started posting results of my photo projects to share with family and friends. Before long it was getting thousands of hits each month from places like Russia, China, Iceland, Australia, etc..
    That certainly fueled my fire and as a result, this site is basically about my photography. I usually include some text to relate my experiences, but basically it’s all about the photos. Enjoy!

Five Star
2010 - The Book

 

    The 80-page book with 248 photos from the 2010 season.

    There are only four copies of the book left. If you want one but forgot to pick one up, email me.

“Goats of Union County”

 

    This is a book I completed in 2009 on a whim.  Click the photo at left to learn about the book and view the pages.

    The book had been for sale at Blurb.com for $18.00 plus $5.99 shipping.  Sales have tapered off, so I'm taking the book out of print. I still have 8-10 books on hand and I want a new tripod. I'll sell my remaining copies to barrel racers for $15 each, on a first-come, first served basis. Email me to obtain a copy.

8” x 10” Photos for Sale

   I’m looking to supplement my Social Security income and would like to sell some 8x10 photos from my barrel racing galleries. Photos on the site are in 4x6 format and are cropped when enlarging to 5x7 or 8x10. For most of them, I can re-crop the original to 8x10 format.

     I’ll bring a book of samples to the remaining Five Star races so you can check out the quality from my 6-color printer.
     I’m asking $10 for an 8”x10” printed on high quality photo paper.

Under construction ……

 

    This site is currently under serious construction. I experienced a problem on the web server and had to make some decisions. I may have made a wrong one.  I actually lost the original site and have to re-build it from scratch.
     I’ve been experimenting with some new web development software but wasn’t finished with the new site. But I decided it best to go forward with the new site.
     It will take me several days to complete the project, but I’ll post pages and galleries one at a time as I convert them.

 

    A lightning bolt indicates that the particular page or gallery is not available at this time.
     I’m going to start with the smallest and most recent galleries, getting to the larger or older galleries at the end of the project.
     

    I apologize for the inconvenience and will complete the new site as soon as possible.

NEW !!!

A summer Saturday afternoon in downtown Charlotte ……

    Despite the 99 degree heat, I spent a few hours on a very busy Saturday afternoon in the Queen City with my trusty cameras.

    Highlights of the journey were a Japanese art festival, practice for a BMX Stunt Show later that evening, and lunch with wine at Hooters.

Hurricane Sunset

 

 This is a shot taken from my backyard the evening before Hurricane Irene slammed into the North Carolina coast.
  I was facing west and Irene was about 200 miles behind me.
