4x5x365 – Day 53

June 26, 2015 by James Pratt Leave a Comment

The United Methodist Church in Jefferson, OK was built in 1895 and still in use today.

My wife Kay and I love traveling back roads around Oklahoma. A few years ago I discovered the book “Ghost Towns of Oklahoma” put out by OU Press. It is a well documented look into late 19th and early 20’th century Oklahoma, with old photos, stories, and history of towns that have for the most […]

Cowboy Tombstone in Jefferson, Oklahoma

Dang, I almost missed this one! Not that I haven’t been trying. This week I have been working on a story about the Oklahoma wheat harvest and have traveled from one end of the state to the other so very busy and haven’t had a lot of time to develop film and post pics. I […]

Ride Oklahoma Dual Sport Video circa 2005

March 6, 2015 by James Pratt Leave a Comment

This was one of my early attempts at capturing video on a motorcycle. This was long before GoPro’s. I had to attach bullet cams to a dirt bike slamming through rocks, and feed said bullet cam to a digital camcorder in the rider’s backpack. Kind of rough. The biggest problem with the video is the […]

Classic Italian – 1967 Ducati 250cc Mach 1/S

November 18, 2014 by James Pratt Leave a Comment

I originally wrote this short story for Ride Oklahoma Magazine in January 2009 to go along with the cover photo. The name Ducati evokes emotions in most motorcyclists. Like Harley Davidson, Ducati has a devoted group of fans that admire and adore the brand. It is more than just a brand of bikes – it […]

Oklahoma Crude – Tommy Smith

November 18, 2014 by James Pratt Leave a Comment

I originally wrote and photographed this story for Ride Oklahoma in 2008. ——————- In 1966, the Beatles song “We Can Work it Out” topped the charts, the Green Bay Packers beat the Cleveland Browns in the NFL Championship game, B-52’s first bombed Vietnam, and Ronald Reagan was elected governor of California. And 19 year old […]

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.

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 […]
