No More Bush

I wonder how long they've been waiting to use this slogan?

Peurto Vallarta

We spent the New Year in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.





Good times!

Influential People

Tiki Barber, record-setting running back for the NY Giants and current broadcaster and author.

John Dean, White House Council to Richard Nixon during the Watergate scandal.

Mike Huckabee, former Arkansas governor and 2008 Republican presidential candidate (current 2012 front-runner!)

Champs

Some photos from two State Championship games at War Memorial stadium in Little Rock. The only two football games I covered this year!

Kalua Pig

Starting on Friday night me and a few friends began our first attempt at roasting a whole pig under ground with coals and hot rocks. We dug a hole in my backyard, built a bonfire in it and then buried the pig wrapped in banana leaves. The next day we dug it up and had a party.

Good times!


Taking up the burlap before removing the pig.


Shredding the pork by hand.


Fred seemed a bit worried before we stuffed his belly with pineapple, oranges, bananas and apples. Doesn't he have beautiful brown eyes?

Hunting Trees

I tried my hand at a different kind of shooting this past weekend.

The Roast

Cooking up a whole hog Luau style. It's going to be delicious!

Hope to see you there.

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

A couple of weeks ago, the infamous Jerry Springer came to Little Rock to speak at the Clinton Library. Instead of dredging the bottoms of society for mindless entertainment, he delivered a populist speech on the current affairs of American politics. It was a reminder of Springer's roots as a politician as opposed to his current role as entertainer.

...Springer 2012?

Men's Health

The current issue of Men's Health (Nov. 2008) has a portrait I shot in Frontenac, Kansas awhile back. It was part of their Belly Off! program which features reader weight loss stories. Fairly straight-forward shoot. Everything was outside and in multiple locations, so I went with a simple, one light set-up.

Sam's Throne

Spent this past weekend climbing and enjoying the beautiful weather out at Sam's Throne in Northwest Arkansas. Below, Dianna getting ready to climb the fist-crack Boston Rag on the Throne Proper.
