Kirby Derby Rain or Shine

Kirby Derby rain or shine, lets just say there was only rain ....... A really good turn out considering the weather.

Kirby Derby

Racers on the course, the conditions were slick with all the rain but after some tire pressure adjustments most of the cars made it around corner #1. SEE BELOW.

back up

So the other day I burned disk #1288. I've been burning 2 copies of each disk, I keep one at the studio and take the other one home. I've been getting worried about the data on the older disk, some are over 11 years old. I've decided to back up my back up on external hard drives. Man this is going to take forever. I can get @ 50 CD's and 20 DVD's done aday, if I'm not shooting. I feel pretty lucky, I've only lost 2 files and they were from older disk and really large Photoshop files @ 320 megs, I've got the flatten version. Just FYI my bad disk were Memorex and PNY.

Boot on my roof

When they were replacing the front of the studio, I used the ladder to get on my roof. It's been almost 2 years since I've been on it. I had a squirrel get in my studio the other week and he kept setting off the motion detector ( $100 in false alarms ). I couldn't find where the squirrel got in ? I thought I might find a gun,knife or crack pipe on my roof but all I found was an old boot. A quick photo shoot, why wait for the Hose Master to warm up when you can use a flashlight. 25 sec. @ f/22 on black velvet. I'm off to Asheville for a 2 day shoot, hope it's cool in the mountains.

headshots

The creative work is just knocking down my door, more headshots on white ...... I happened to be wearing one of my fancy new t-shirts. Look at the quality after one wash, thanks Vista Print T-shirts .....
