A cold night on motorcycles in Arkansas

November 19, 2021 by James Pratt Leave a Comment

Bill Dragoo and I were on a week-long motorcycle ride in Arkansas for a magazine story. It was early April on a cold rainy late afternoon as we wound along lonesome Highway 16 in the Boston Mountains. Our heated vests were barely keeping us warm, especially as the rain tried to seep through our gear […]

Bikepacking trip to Stillwater – aka “Mud Ride 2021”

March 12, 2021 by James Pratt Leave a Comment

For years I have wanted to camp while on a bicycle trip. My neighbor Geoff Detrich and I finally hooked up and rode from Edmond to Lake McMurtry on gravel roads. I camped overnight and rode home in strong headwinds and deep mud.

Dirt Bikes in Colorado

September 1, 2020 by James Pratt Leave a Comment

For our summer vacation pandemic-style, Kay and I took another trip to Colorado to explore the back roads, visit friends, and ride our street-legal dirt bikes. We were a bit worried about making sure we had a place to stay and places to eat, but Colorado was pretty well open for the summer tourism season. […]

People who get stuff done – Jimmy Trogdon

June 3, 2020 by James Pratt Leave a Comment

AKA People who get shit done. We all respect people who just get things done. Whether it is at work, at church, in the little league team. We all know the type. People who follow the Toby Keith song “a little less talk and a lot more action” with their lives. So let me tell […]

Oklahoma Living Magazine cover July 2021

My most recent cover image turned into one of my favorite OK Living covers in recent years. I got this assignment to photograph off-road parks across Oklahoma. Heck yea, that is right down my wheelhouse!! Right after I got the assignment I happened to be in Disney on a dual sport motorcycle ride, but a […]

Oklahoma Living Magazine cover May 2021

I had the opportunity to photograph the May 2021 cover of Oklahoma Living Magazine. The subject was “careers in the electric coop industry” and I was to photograph several people working at a variety of jobs within the coop industry. I sent to Seminole and Ada, Oklahoma for these photos.

Oklahoma Living August 2020

I forgot to post this cover photo that I did for Oklahoma Living last year during the pandemic. I went to Stillwater to photograph a CareerTech student on a hot July morning. We were able to stay “socially distanced” while I did the shoot.

OK Living Cover May 2020

Before the COVID-19 pandemic I toted my white background and lighting gear to Central Electric Cooperative in Stillwater for a cover shoot for Oklahoma Living Magazine. These usually require a fair amount of work, since I have to take an 11′ roll of white paper with me, plus all the gear to hold the paper […]

Oklahoma Living April 2020 Cover and Feature Story

I always love assignments from Oklahoma Living Magazine. Most are centered around people, and I love photographing people. In this case, I was assigned to photograph a story about Gene Rowe, a farmer in southwest Oklahoma. The story was written by Adam Calaway, one of my favorite writers, so I knew it was going to […]

Oklahoma Living Magazine September 2019 Cover

I had fun photographing this cover story for Oklahoma Living Magazine, one of my favorite clients. I took this picture at the beautiful Chickasaw Nation Cultural Center in Sulphur, Oklahoma on a really hot summer day. I had to be careful to keep my models from sweating. It was toasty hot, about 98 degrees outside. […]

Goodnight Farms in Chattanooga Oklahoma

In 2017 I photographed a story about Cody Goodnight, co-owner of Goodnight Farms southwest Oklahoma. The assignment was for Top Producer Magazine, a regular client I work for in the agriculture industry. I photographed Cody and his father, fiancé and employees on their farm in early spring as they were getting ready for the wheat […]

Volunteer Firefighters for Oklahoma Living

I always love photographing real people doing real things. What could be more fun than photographing volunteer firemen? I got that opportunity recently for Oklahoma Living Magazine. My assignment was to photograph firemen from the Coyle and Woodcrest fire departments in Oklahoma. I had the idea to do a split-shot photo that showed both the […]

Rising from the Ashes – for Kansas Agriculture Magazine

During the summer 2017 I took a trip to western Kansas for a long-time client and photographed a couple of stories in the area. For one story I stopped in Clark County and photographed the Ashland Veterinarian Clinic for a story about how the clinic helped local farmers during and after a huge spring prairie […]

I drove to Tulsa to photograph Leanne Taylor for the January 2018 cover of Oklahoma Living Magazine.

Oklahoma Living January 2018 Cover

I traveled to Tulsa to photograph KOTV’s Leanne Taylor for Oklahoma Living’s “Best of Oklahoma” story for the January 2018 edition of the magazine. It was early December and I had to be there at 7 am to scout for a location. We ended up photographing Leanne after her 9 am television show inside the […]
