It Can't Get Here Fast Enough!
Posted Wednesday, April 23, at 8:25 AM
Have you ever been looking forward to something so much you just can't wait for it to get here? I'm in that boat right now!
Late last year Bossman and I decided we were going to book a vacation/adventure based solely on our love for photography. Actually, it was more me just saying "Hey, let's go here and do this because I want to and need someone to tag along so I don't get eaten by a bear and all that jazz." And of course, he agreed without much thought. He's cool like that.
Destination - Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
The wife and I ventured there last summer and I promised I'd someday return, never thinking it would be a little more than one year later. It's one of those magical places, especially for photographers. Convincing Gary to tag along didn't take much since he'd already seen my images from my trip.
Here's the plan. Seven days of nothing but camping in the great outdoors and making photos of some of the most beautiful landscape and animals to grace the face of the earth. Sounds great right? It is....now we just have to wait five more months for September to get here!
Five months might not seem like a long time to most but for someone with little patience like myself, it's like a first grader waiting five years for the next Christmas morning gift exchange. It's killing me!!
For now I'm biding my time photographing the sunsets of Bourbon County and that keeps me out of trouble! If anyone knows how to speed up time, please contact me.
Above are two photos from Wyoming and the barn is here in Bourbon County.
Cheers!
Hard to Please Everybody I've enjoyed photographing Fort Scott High School activities for several years, first as a staffer at the Tribune and now more in a freelance fashion. Just like in any job, there is always someone who thinks they know how to do the job better. Some of these comments are from nice people who honestly want you to improve. Others, not so much...
It's Like This Okay people, here it is. I am going to win the lottery on Wednesday. Plain. And. Simple. The Powerball is at some grotesque number, $230 million I think. Generally I wait until it gets larger since I don't like to waste my time on piddly numbers that don't even start with a 3. But I visited an art gallery yesterday and really want a few prints so I'm going to have to take the plunge and just go ahead and buy a ticket. Even if it is only a measly sum like the present amount...
More Random Musings I've often complained at the lack of healthy alternatives in this town as far as food joints are concerned. I've found my new favorite place to eat and I've been doing it at least three times a week. Espressly for You, located across the road from Shepherd Team Auto Plaza, is AMAZING! To die for...
Those Crazy Kids Okay so I've said quite a bit over the past few years about Fort Scott High School's student section. I'm going to say a few more words. Monday and Tuesday night I photographed the girls and boys in their first round substate games. On both occasions the student section showed up with some of the most hideous, yet entertaining, outfits I've ever seen. Monday was a so-so night...complete with a Spiderman costume and a state-qualifying wrestler with a mohawk. Wonder who that was......
Something right Blogger's Note: Please forgive rambling or jumping around in this blog. It's 1:46 a.m. At this hour, fingers go in different directions than the brain tells them to. Last year (and quite possibly the year before) there was a bit of animosity between the student section and the administration at Fort Scott High School. ...
Reflections Today isn't just an ordinary day. Nope. I'm officially a quarter century old. As I reflect on the past 25 years I think of some pretty insane moments. Let's have a seat on the couch (or if you are with your loved one, you can sit on the love seat) and think back on what has happened. Feel free to throw in any comments here and there if you remember something I don't...
My Thankful List It's that time of year to get all sentimental about that past year. Here is the list I've compiled for those of you who care! If you don't care...stop reading right now. If this is incomprehensible at times its because my mind is bamboozled here at midnight o'clock...
Bourbon County Dodged the Bullet Bourbon County was lucky this week. The storm that fell on Pittsburg and basically rendered many people and organizations useless the first part of this week was absolutely horrid. Fort Scott may have had a few problems due to the ice, mainly school closings, but residents were lucky for the most part...
A Few Ramblings Just a few observations and happenings from the past week.... For the past 6 years I've watched, listened and talked about a special kid that just so happened to be a football player....he just put a cap on his high school football career and I, along with quite a few others, am proud of him. Gage McKinnis, a senior at Hutchinson High School and formerly a student in the Uniontown school district, won a state championship in football. He's a great kid and has a bright future...
