Can it really be the 11th of January 2011? Where does time go. I am sitting here this morning at 5:45 gathering my thoughts, and preparing for another day, and for 2011. I wanted to make a plan for the coming year, to see what I can do better than I did last year and in years past, make this year even more fullfilling than last...to do that Ii took a look back at the last year.
Wow, last year was amazing. I was lucky enough to follow my dreams around the world shooting sports, people, and weddings in a variety of places. Hockey in major venues at the NHL and AHL level, the Olympics and at the same time being able to watch 5 year olds take their first steps onto ice. Riding some of the finest snow on the planet with the coolest of cool friends while documenting the amazing wintersports world.
Shooting with some of the nicest people in the world in some of the most gorgeous places on the planet. If last year was any indication of what is in store in the future, I can't wait to get there!
Being a part of so many weddings that I can attribute at leaast 3 pounds around my waistline to wedding cake consumption. Being honored as a wedding photographer by local and national groups, meeting so many new people and making lasting friendships with them. Realizing that I have become part of families, documenting the life cycle for them, their milestones, their weddings, their babies, their families.
Today marks 9 and a half months that I have been smoke free. It has been trying, but during the critical times, when I needed support...there was an outpouring of it here on Facebook, and in person.
So, Looking forward to this coming year I realized that is was because of my family, friends and business associates that makes my life so full. I wanted to take a moment and say thanks to everyone for what has to be one of the most amazing years of my life. Over the last year, I have been blessed with some amazing experiences, and it is because of all of you. Thanks so much for your support and friendship. My goal for this year is to say thanks a little bit more to everyone hat has made my life so good....and to eat just a few more Twinkies.

Hockey Photography with a "Net Cam" or "In Net Camera"
I had a little extra time shooting a WHL hockey game the other night, so thought I would put in a net cam for a period or two and see what I came up with. The first period it was in was totally uneventful, as the action was at the other end of the ice the entire period.
The second period was great, a lot of action at my end, with a few good images coming out of the net cam. Eight minutes into the period though there was some great action in front of the net, with the goalie being run by the captain of the opposing team, with the end result of the goalie ending up in the net, on top of the camera housing. Took the camera out of action for the remainder of the period. Nothing like having a couple big guys in gear running into your gear.
