Things I like OTHER than photography!

Besides photography.....and I guess you can say that I can talk about photography and all things related to photography 24/7....really...not joking about that.  BUT besides that I do actually have other interests.  I own a little sports car and have for many years so I guess you can say that I'm into cars.  And motorcycles and trucks....mainly any vehicles...trackers, snow mobiles, four wheels utility vehicles, boats and the list goes on. I try to go to as many events as I can, take photos at as many events as I can. I can spend hours and hours at these events and never get bored.  Yeah, I'm the guy that will look at every detail, then have a conversation with the owner on his/her journey for their project.  I love people and love to hear their amazing stories!  My love began with a 1974 that I had in high school.  No, that wasn't when I was in high school, but rather the classic car I had.  It wasn't much to look at and was a hand me down from my brother.  But after a few wrecks (not caused by me) and a little TLC from me it was actually looking very nice!  I still miss that car! 

I'm not big into the mechanics of my car right now because it's hard with 2 young kids to keep myself busy with "outside" activities.  But I'm hoping someday I can actually say I repair and rebuild my own car....someday. 

So if you love cars, bikes and trucks, leave me a comment!  I'd love to see your story.

Happy New Year everybody!!!!

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy New Year and much happiness through out the year as well.  2010 was a year of the best of times and the worst of times.  The best of times was my personal life and business.  However the worst of times had to also do with my personal life.  It's times like those that make you understand a little more about yourself and life in general.  I try to learn from everything.  I firmly believe that things (good or bad) happen for a reason. Sometimes it takes a while for you to learn from the things that happen.  Sometimes it's so obvious it hits you in the face.  The worst of times was a learning experience that I had to search for the reason, but it came to me early on and then again recently over the holidays.  I am a person that strives for balance in life and think that I actually achive that on a daily basis, but there is always room for improvment and life's little lessson's.  I won't bore you with the details of what happened.  If you would like to know please just contact me and I would be more than happen to talk about it.  The main thing I wanted to get across is that always be open to learning life's lessons.  Always strive for balance in all you do.  Treat others like you would like to be treated....and I always say that if you do not treat yourself very well, then treat others better than you treat yourself.  It may rub off on you.
