This morning I had the opportunity to ride a fat tire bicycle in Antarctica via FulGaz software. Holy cow, that was different. It seems Kate Leeming, an Australian adventure bicycle rider and tennis pro, rode and filmed part of her bicycle ride through Antarctica and posted a short stretch on FulGaz for others like me […]

Jeeping to Jesse Chisolm’s Grave
After being stuck indoors in cold weather, I decided on the first warm day to take a short trip to western Oklahoma to find Jesse Chisolm’s grave. I had been there a decade ago, but wanted to go back and see it again, and explore some of the trails and dirt roads in the area.
2023 OKC Martin Luther King Jr. Parade
One of my favorite events each year is the OKC Martin Luther King Jr. parade. It has traditionally been held at the corner of 23rd Street and ML King Blvd, but for the past few years the City of OKC has tried to move the event to downtown OKC. I went to the 2022 parade […]

Kaitlyn Reber 2022
I took these photos of my grandaughter Kaitlyn in my makeshift garage studio during the winter of 2022, when she was a junior in high school. I used my Nikon D800 camera and I believe my Nikon 85mm F1.4 lens – my favorite portrait lens.
Street Portrait
I took this photo at the 2022 ML King Parade in downtown Oklahoma City. I thought this guy looked pretty cool. Wish I knew his name.
