It’s taken several trips to the beach to get him used to it, but now he absolutely loves running up and down the beach, through the water chasing after any wildlife that moves. Today he discovered the little sand crabs.
Waldo found his happy place.
Waldo
Leap Of Faith
I don’t really feel too bad about it. After all, he’s been in snow before. You’d think he’d have learned his lesson.
He completely disappeared when he landed. Bet he’s kinda mad at us.
Snow Days
I think more than just the students enjoy a snow day here and there!

Habit
It’s such a habit now after an entire year. I have a feeling that I’m just going to find myself shooting daily and sitting at the computer writing my one-a-day. I suppose that was the entire point in the first place – to get in the habit of shooting more. I was talking with some people today about what I might do next. How about a “Where’s Waldo” theme?
Wonderful Life
No, not the movie. My dog – what a wonderful life it must be to be able to just chill all day.
We got Waldo just about three years ago right before Christmas. He was a guest on the weekly show Talk of the Town with Barry Lee. We shot on Tuesday and it aired on Saturday. He was adopted by the time the show aired.
Cross Season
Who thought I would ever be looking forward to cross season as much as I am this year? Cyclocross season, that is. I’ve shot cycling now for several years and am always looking for new ways to differentiate myself from other shooters. A definite difference, IMO, is the fact that I shoot both still and video. I’m leaning more toward the still side these days, but I produce both and I have a great time doing it. I certainly created a buzz when I shot an aerial video in Page County earlier this year and plan to do more like it. But what’s crazy to me is that when I look at a new piece of gear these days I find myself thinking “wow, that would be awesome for cross season.” So, I may never race during cross season, but at least I’m out there supporting it. That’s a start, right? Can’t wait to put the new iPhone 6 through it’s paces this Sunday at the annual Winchester Applecross race.
Granted, this is a video of my dog, but think of all the amazing race footage I can get with it!

I had to take their picture because they have the same taste in colors.
Wishing & Hoping
Betcha he’s wishing for better weather on the east coast.
Selfie
I think my dog Waldo is learning to appreciate the fact that I almost always have a camera handy and that he’s an unwilling subject in of a lot of my images.
A new twist on the ever-popular selfie. I just always have to be slightly different.
Broken
So this is what our dog looks like after breaking a nail in the park yesterday. What a diva!
Accessory
Ever thought about a gift for someone and wondered “What can I get them that they don’t already have?”
I think we’ve all been there at least once. What DO you get that cyclist/golfer/photographer/musician/hobbyist/amateur/computer geek in your life? I can speak volumes about all the weird gadgets that exist out there. I love ’em.
I’ve collected plenty of them over the years. I have a hot-shoe bubble level, lens filter wrenches, drawers full of all sorts of apple sync/charging cables, firewire and USB cables galore, a full shop of pro cycling tools, cases for this and pouches for that, multiple editing input devices and I even have a larger-than-life mouse from a Christmas party years ago.
The “Mighty mouse”
So if you think there’s nothing left to get that certain someone, think again because companies are always creating stuff that you never knew you needed.
So the new “toy” I just got for Christmas is something I’ve always actually wanted, but never got it for myself. Rain gear for my camera. Don’t know why I’ve never invested in it. I have rain gear for my bags, rain gear for myself, but I’ve never had rain gear for the actual camera.
Cool. Just cool.
