Mark your calendars for a special music and raffle extravaganza Sunday Aug. 23 at Skipper's Smokehouse from 4-11pm to raise money for Stephen Coddington and his family.

For those of you guided here by Lara Cerri's email, these are the photos from Marian's trip to Chicago, and here are the ones of her return home. Lara's been the driving force behind this event, and I know she's arranged a party you're not going to want to miss.

Rewind

I've been slack about updating the blog, though I really haven't been a *total* slacker at work. In fact, the opposite is part of why I haven't been around here for a while.

So I thought I'd share some photographs from the last couple of months, and maybe push a little web traffic to tampabay.com (c'mon people, those clicks might actually put a few cents in my paycheck). No particular order or anything, just however I stumbled across it.


Check out the story and slideshow about Spyder, a blueberry protecting Barbary falcon.


Some of you saw my graduation stuff on my Sportsshooter page, but here is more of what I shot at graduation. I shot 3 of the 4 graduations in the county, so my boss' pics are in the show, too.


Sunflower maze in Masaryktown.


Learning to swim.


A brushfire that was sparked by a lightning strike near Bayport that ended up consuming about 1,200 acres of swampland.


Fourth of July Machine Gun Shoot at the Hernando Sportsman's Club. I love automatic weapons on Independence Day...smells like victory.


Superkids Triathlon. Gotta love the light at 8:30 a.m.

Thanks for looking!

Christmas in July

It's been way too long since I've dropped any fresh frames on here.

This weekend I had two opportunities to shoot fireworks, I definitely had the better vantage point in St. Pete from atop the Bayfront Tower.

Then today my new 5D Mark II showed up. I unpacked it, charged the battery, then did what any of you would do with a $2700 piece of electronic brilliance... I got it wet.
