Albums....

So, the albums have been giving me hastle for the past month or so, but I finally fixed the page to work properly. You should start seeing a lot more of the pics taken in the past few months as I get through them. Thanks for your patience. :D

East Coast Petorak!

It seems that I have spread my userbase to a class on the East Coast. I was showing Matt, a fellow web designer and owner of www.planetranch.com, the guestbook of my site when I realized that there were a few more entries that there were previously. I replied to the kids' posts, and emailed the teacher letting her know how nice it was to have heard from them.

Also, they were searching for pictures of their teacher, who is also a Petorak. I knew there was a large group of Petorak's on the east coast, but know I have actually emailed one of them.

Greetings!

Be sure to check out and sign the guestbook!

The Loss of an old friend.

Back when I worked for KITS Cameras, I had the pleasure of working with some people that really impacted my life. While working at the University Village location, there was a guy that I enjoyed working with and we played off each other making jokes all the time.

Patrick "Nekkid" Myrick, was one of the coolest cats I have ever met. He and I shared lots of laughs, and some good times during my employment there. I ran across his photo in an old album the other day, and I decided to see what he was up to by searching his name on the net.

Immediately, I knew this was not going to turn out the way I had wanted it. On the first page of my search, I found the military page with the bad news. On a routine training mission in Iwo Jima, his navy jet crashed last killing him and the other 3 men on board. He was 31. I believe I heard or read about this particular crash, but never read close enough to see the name. My heart goes out to his wife and daughter.

Patrick was a good man, someone who I will always call my friend, who died doing what he loved, RIP Nekkid.

Time Flies....

I lost track of time, and now a few months later, still no post.

I am still here. Just busy at work.

I did buy a new trailer, and just finished installing the hooks today. I'll post some pics soon. Like this week. :P I promise!

Getting in the Groove

I am getting back into the groove of photography. I have been shooting quite a bit more than I used to, now that I have a professional lense. I am putting together a small portfolio of images, that can be found here.

What have I done...

Well, tonight I attended the boys' school's PTO meeting at the request of this years PTO president. She did not tell me, however, that it was election night for next year’s cabinet and also failed to mention that men rarely attended the meetings. I knew the moment that I signed in and looked at the 'door prizes' that this was usually a women’s meeting place. A silver box wrapped with pink ribbon, and a Victoria Secret bag.

Not only was I unanimously elected President of next years PTO board, but I also won the Victoria Secret bag door prize. You'll have to ask me what was in the bag, that way I'll know if you read this. :P

Sometime I'll post the 'job duties' of this position, but I think I am going to reflect on what I have signed up for....

Kids first response... " YESSSSSSSS! "

It's WONDERDOG!

Jog-A-Thon

For those of you that pledged, the Jog a thon was today.



I showed up just as Tristan's class was out running, and waited until they were done. Tristan completed a total of 15 laps. He had it easy though. When Brendan came out later that day, it was raining, and he got tired early. Most of the kids did.. only the super sprinters got over 20. I was very proud of both of them for their effort. They had fun, and so did I. :P

Check out the pics.

I ended up not taking as many as I'd like to have, the school office got me thinking about some of the kids who shouldn't have thier pics taken.. but I got over it for Brendan's run. :D

Saturday Photo

• Laundry
• Get out of the house

Those were the only two things on the adgendy today. We accomplished them both, as well as a few extras....

Note: Tristan taking photo, Inka in the back (looking for a place to swim to in case of trouble), and Brendan pulled the seat adjuster right as I gunned it. His seatbelt can be seen locked over the top of him laying down as we learched forward.

They both loved it, and of course made me do it a few times. Inca got to chase some geese, the boys tried to put all the rocks on the shore into the water, and I just shot some of the awsome scenery. I know, there's a wastewater treatment plant upstream, but the place looks really green. What nutrients must be in this water? :P

Fun was had by all. Now I just need to find a car wash. Oh wait, the 10 day forcast is for Rain, Showers, and a clean car!

I know people visit here...

I check the logs, and watch where people are coming from. I know people come here from time to time, but no one ever comments on my album nor these blogs? I promise not to beat you… but someone please tell me that I am not the only one reading my website!

Farley - By Anna.

Many of my friends are either photographers or computer nuts. A few of the photographers, are the cream of the crop. Anna Wight, www.annawightphotography.com, specializes in horse and animal photography, and is extremely good at what she does. She has some very cute dogs, one of which is pictured here. This is Farley, and he looks a little tired.

It wasn't raining....

Brendan, at our friends football game. It wasn't raining, but he was keeping the coulds from hitting him in the head.

And so it begins....

Pretty cool. I am impressed with every new thing I figure out on the internet. It’s fun to learn, and develop new things – guess it’s my way of getting my schooling somehow. :D

I’ll be posting on here as often as possible. Comment on anything, just keep it clean.. this IS a family website. Be sure to check out the new site design, and add your name to the mailing list if you want to hear from me from time to time.
