Group shot

Stepped out of Jimmy Johns and found this interesting grouping. I asked them if they enjoyed their sandwiches too. This is why I should never leave my camera home.

Been coming to this town for the chili fest for 13 years. We've had some great memories here. You could always count on seeing good friends, good music, good chili and good people watching. Though this year instead of drinking all night long, we left before sunset. We're gettin old!

Sometimes you get a subject that just does all the work for you: all you have to do is focus and shoot. Body builder Angela Pearson put in hours of work that earned her first place at the Oklahoma Championships. Such dedication and hard work is truly inspiring.

Whats up dog?

You see some interesting things when you ride your bike around town that you don't pay attention to when driving. This dude dragged an old leather recliner into an alley and was just chillin and enjoying the weather.

Poooooke chops!

The Newman Farm Berkshire Pork from Justus Drugstore up in Smithville, probably the second best reason to visit.

20 minutes and a Cloud of Dust

2010-02-28T18:07:00.001-08:00

Assisted photog Jesse Rieser on a shoot last weekend down in Salem MO at the 100 Acre Wood race. Tearing through dirt roads in the woods looks fun as hell. The three of us stopped into some place called the "Roadhouse" looking for some late night dinner and it was like a scene out of a movie where the record screeches to a halt and everyone in the place was staring down us damn yankees. Unfortunately they were no longer serving food, only ass kickin's so we high tailed it outta there.

First snowstorm of the year for us. I love watching the dogs romp in the snow. I like how this has the feel of a formal portrait.

I was doing the Cranksgiving ride with a bunch of friends and had to skid to a halt to turn around and get a picture of this well dressed church goer. It was a good day.

That was a crazy race. There were at least five crashes in my race including one at this corner where I had to jump the curb and go grass surfing.

Which is why I told these kids to hang out here and watch the inevitable.

"Does your dog want a chicken bone?"
"Uh, ok, sure." Yeah, I know they're not supposed to eat them.
"Oh, it was just a rhetorical question. I threw them all away."

A Trek, a B.O.B. trailer, two tarps = beautiful lakefront property for Randy.

As my friend Robin so poetically put it: "i cannon-balled into the Ganges a couple weeks ago for an intimate swim with 5 million Shiva devotees on a particularly auspicious day (i never quite figured out what we were all celebrating) -- but i woulda traded in the company of all five million of them saffron-clad hindus for a handful of my missoura brethren and sistren."
