I had the good fortune of shooting around Fort Worth with our own "panther" Craig today, and I got to meet "black mamba" Tom a few weeks ago. I just don't know how life could get any better :thumb

Can't say enough about how nice a guy Craig is!


Anyway, here are a few shots from our half-day, almost had a heat-stroke, shoot.

    Looks like you and Craig had a successful trip out shooting.

    Neat Breifcase Man -- never saw that before.

    #9 -- I like how you did this one. Gives you that graveyard eerie feeling.

    As for Craig's ride -- bet you guys had the "girls" following you around all day rolleyes1.gif

    What a great day you had - heat and bugs aside.

    Really nice shots and I also like the #9 graveyard one for its processing approach and eerie - ness. (Is that a word even?)
    Creating visual and verbal images that resonate with you.

    Morning Randy,

    It was indeed my Pleasure as well, we certainly saw a lot of

    Fort Worth in a fairly short time:D:D:D

    Love all the different angles and perspectives, and the post
    processing from the shots at the Graveyard are wonderful,
    really adds such a neat and different look and feel to the ones
    I've shot over the years.

    I have to say it's been one of my Shooting Highlights, to just
    travel around, chat, do some shooting, and of course Eating:D
    with the Esteemed Mr. Wells!!!

    Look forward to doing it again really soon, of course I think we'll
    both wait for a "little" cooler weather:D
    Take care,

    Craig

    Hello Mary,

    Thanks for the comments, and I've got to fess-up... That wasn't really Craig's ride, but he WAS looking at it with lust in his eyes rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks Ceci,

    Isn't that a mysterious monster that lives in Lake Eerie? rolleyes1.gif


    Thanks for looking and the nice comments!

    Mornin' Craig,

    I thought that's how the graveyard shots looked when we shot them ~ at least it was in my mind rolleyes1.gif

    Can't wait to see some of your shots. I'm going to try with all my will: "Must resist another path of interest ~ IR photography" eek7.gif

    Oh, and you'll not get any argument from me on the "cooler weather" thing!

    It was a lot of fun and I anticipate our next outing!

    Yo Randy,

    Well, I'd have given anything to accompany you two guys on that excursion....heat and all. Just getting to be with Craig would have made it worth it. I thought I was going to be able to get with him when he was in Florida not long ago but my schedule didn't allow for it.

    And Craig....I'm sure you found Randy to be someone that could have been a long-lost brother, a salt-of-the-earth kind of guy built with the kind of character and substance that makes you want to be around him.

    I liked the " mini tour " around Fort Worth. I haven't been there since the mid-'70s. Next to the hill country, that part of Texas is my favorite.

    Take care my friend,

    Tom

    P.S. Craig.....don't let Randy suck you into any kind of eating contest.... you can't win.
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Mornin' Mr. Tom,

    Yes, it was a pure pleasure to meet Craig, to bad you couldn't have been there. ~~~ Am I noticing an emerging pattern: When it's really hot, you seem to have scheduling problems eek7.gifrolleyes1.gif

    Come on over here and let's do some shootin', and as you've pointed out, eatin' thumb.gif

    Randy, I just gotta say you are presenting some really fine photography
    here in this set. There's not a one that I find to be less than simply
    excellent. Several I find are brilliant pieces of finished work.
    Awesome and powerful PP in those particular ones. clap.gifclapclap.gif
    I look forward to the task of trying to work out anything near as good. thumb.gif
    Like issue 9 for instance. Man, that is sooooo outstanding. Then theres
    the others just as much so, but I am repeating myself. No need for that. :D
