My 7th half-marathon run of 2018

July 31, 2018 by James Pratt

This morning I decided to do a run around Lake Hefner in OKC for a change of pace. This is normally a 10 mile run, but this morning the weather was especially pleasant, especially for the last day of July. About 7 miles into my run my legs were feeling great, nothing was hurting, and […]

11 Mile run in the cold and learning about nutrition

February 10, 2018 by James Pratt

Today I learned another lesson about nutrition for long runs and rides. When I first started running my focus was to lose weight and get fit. I never ate before a run and never, ever ate during a run. Of course my long runs were 3 miles in about 45 minutes. Eventually those got longer, […]

Loop around OKC on my Giant TCX bicycle

February 9, 2018 by James Pratt

Today I got cold. Really cold. And it was only 42 degrees outside, but enough to give me the shivers. Kay left town on a ski trip and the weather was going to be in the 60’s so I decided to go for a nice long ride on my Giant TCX bicycle. I had just […]

Nine Mile Run is now Easy

January 18, 2018 by James Pratt

I just got back from a nine mile run – my second this week – and thought “that was pretty easy”. It reminded me of my first long 8 mile run about 6 months ago. I dropped Kay’s Chrysler Crossfire convertible off at Bob Howard Dodge for some service and ran home 8 miles. Well, […]

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 […]

Shawnee Mills for Oklahoma Living Magazine

Had a fun time photographing this story about Shawnee Mills in where else? Shawnee, Oklahoma. I love shooting photos of industrial-type settings and people at work. I worked with one of my favorite writers Hayley Leatherwood on this project. Because of the dust from the flour mill, I had to mount two cameras with lenses […]

Dwayne Roth and his daughter Grace check out the corn crop on their water technology farm in western Kansas.

Cause for Conservation story for Kansas Agriculture Magazine

I traveled to Garden City, Kansas over the summer to photograph a story about water conservation efforts in the Ogallala Aquifer that covers western Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma. This huge aquifer is slowly being used up by the massive irrigation efforts by farmers in these western states, trying to feed the growing populations of the […]

Her father Carl Booher […]
