In honor of the Masters — Robert Tyre Jones

Mike — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 06:22:06 +0000

I had every intention of trying to update this blog with some more of the photos from our trip but keep allowing myself to get sidetracked on other projects. Anyway in honor of the masters golf game I’ll post a basic photo of Robert Tyre Jones (Bobby Jones) grave. He is the guy who designed (or help design) the private Augusta National golf course (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Jones_(golfer))

This was shot as part of our visit to the Atlantic City owned Oakland cemetery. For some reason that is hard to describe (perhaps it was the perfect last thing to do before heading to the airport) it was really one of the high points of visiting Atlanta. The grounds are well maintained and it is really is a great park to walk around in.

Golf balls are left in homage on the grave that is laid out as small putting green.

First of many fountains

I’ve been away from the blog post for a while but thought I would try to take another stab at updating it a bit more often. Just got back from a vacation of the south where we went through Savannah GA and anyone who has ever been to Savannah knows they have many fountains. So here is the first one I shot. This one happens to be the fountain in Warren square.

Tour of California 2011

Mike — Tue, 17 May 2011 07:29:00 +0000

My camera and I had a minor disagreement today. It wanted to complain about a corrupt memory card and I wanted it to shoot some photos. After a few wasted seconds I won but not until the majority of bike riders flew by. And fly they do.

So here is the basic long shot of the pack:

Amgen Tour of California Stage1 Pack

And the standard photo of the pack.

RaboBank 2011 Tour of California

I tried to identify these two rider properly but I guess at this hour of the night my skills are not up to the task. Here is the link to the Rabobank’s cycling home page. http://www.rabobank.com/content/about_us/sponsoring/cycling/tab2.jsp.

According to the official Tour of California page this is the rider list for Rabobank:

Oscar Freire (ESP)
Lars Boom (NED)
Coen Vermeltfoort (NED)
Paul Martens (GER)
Michael Matthews (AUS)
Grischa Niermann (GER)
Laurens Ten Dam (DEN)
Maarten Tjallingii (NED)

Sacramento Tower Bridge

Mike — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 06:07:34 +0000

Had the honor of shooting my nephew and a couple of friends yesterday in old town Sacramento. It will probably take a me a day or two more to go through those photos but thought I would post a shot to Tower Bridge with the roadway up. A boat was just about to go underneath it but I failed to get a decent shot of the boat.

More Rugby with a small twist.

Mike — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 18:51:22 +0000

Girls and Rugby? Some say it is not a Rugby game until there is blood and true to the Game this was a true Rugby game! While not nearly as aggressive as the Men it was still fun to watch and shot. Thanks for the invite to go shoot the game. The game was between Sierra Foothills Rugby and Rio Linda

Here is the photo of the day:

And the entire set.

Once again nothing worthy of being on the front cover of any magazines but still a few OK shots.

Enjoy.

Rugby 2011

I’m a bit out of practice apparently as my first Rugby shoot of the season all turned out be a bit soft. Skills really atrophy when they are not being used. Anyway I think I managed to get decent shot but nothing worth writing home about.

Some purple flower

Mike — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 06:38:07 +0000

Love to use my macro lens. This is fairly small flower and I do have to confess that I cleaned up some of the really dead leaves before shooting it.
Not sure what type of flower this is. If someone knows let me know.
