Has it been that long.


If there is anyone following this blog, i expect i lost them or "you" along time ago, so I'll assume I'm talking to myself again. But I'm motivated at the moment to update it. I never finished the Marty Dickerson Story out at the flats this last year, I've got some terrific video from my point and shoot i wanted to incorporate into a slide show, so at some point I'll get working on that.
The most recent Photo Shoot happened this last weekend. A good friend of mine, Mike Guthrie was over for dinner some weeks back and was talking about his close friend and neighbor Dale. Dale has served his country in Viet Nam (all of the details I'm not aware of), he's a father and a good friend that never is short of time to help others. A couple years back I was working on my son's car in Mikes Driveway in Rohnert Park, we needed something critical at the time, what it was escapes me, but Dale jumped into his car and drove to Petaluma to get it for me. Was never able to repay him for that. Mike indicated that he would like to have some pictures of Dale on motorcycle.......well hell that's just round the bend and down my alley.
The end of this last year found Dale in the hospital battling Leukemia, i lost a very dear friend to the disease back in 06, so now Dale is involved in a different kind of battle. I hope these pictures do justice to the man.

I shot some pictures on the back deck late in the evening using duel radio controlled remote SB-26 flashes set up in front and to the left side. The left flash was shooting into a David Honl 8" silver/gold speed snoot and 1/2 power and the one in front was defused at 1/4 power.
