honky tonk dancin'

12:24 A.M.

Missouri River Valley just south of Easley, Boone County, Missouri.

I thought I lost my outtakes from the Missouri High School State Track and Field Championships last month. Entering the last lap of the girls mile race looked as painful as it must of felt.

There's something admirable about a kid that spontaneously performs a cartwheel out of vivre de joie.

summer days

Things have been really slow lately shooting wise. Maybe it's the summer heat, but life seems like it's going in slow motion these days. Mostly I've been playing disc golf, fishing and applying for my next move. So, out of curiosity and some extra time I've been shooting primarily film with an old point and shoot camera. It's easy to carry around and I'm really REALLY enjoying spending time in the lab developing film. Plus, you still can't beat the tonal value of Ilford and Kodak films with digital. Another great thing about film is that the medium forces you to "think" before releasing the shutter. Here are the only 3 shots I took the other day on the disc golf course. They're not that great, but a good representation of what I've been up to the last couple of weeks...

Near the River in a Truck

I found Dan Crites stealing a bit of fuel pump hose for his jet ski down by a flooded Missouri River. His dog Chloe didn't like being left out of the fun.

Boone Life looked a lot like Cambodia this weekend. Here's the link to the story.

scene from a blizzard

Spent a few hours winding and sliding my way out of the Rockies from Steamboat Springs to Denver (well, almost) last Thursday. Eventually, the storm got too wild and I spent the night in a Howard Johnson. This was shot early in the morning in an area called Gore Pass just as the blizzard was picking up steam.
