Little Utes

These little Utes came into the store today because their proud Grandpa wanted me to meet them.  I liked them alot and hope they come back to Kansas to visit more often.

8mm

Well Him got a phone call a couple days ago and the lady on the phone said, "I know this is going to sound like an odd question, but do you have an old dog down there at Lawrence Photo?"  Him said, "There is not an old dog down here, but there is a younger dog that works down here named Tag."  To which she replied "then you must be the place.  You see, you did an 8mm film to DVD Transfer for a friend of my sister's and she said you guys did a fantastic job and I wanted to make sure I went to the right place."  Him sez that  maybe I earned my keep this week....

Rita Treats

I love this time of year ... especially as long as all the treats and goodies are around.  This year I got a bag full of Rita Treats from a very special lady.  Him also got a bag of treats and Him seemed to like those but these were for ME!

Who you callin' little?

I know Him sez my daddy was a chihuahua, but I know my daddy was a great dane just like the one that wanted to come inside the store today.  Fear not...I was able to thwart the massive pooch away by throwing my body against the glass, baring my teeth and vocalizing my disdain for his very existence in the immediate vicinity of my domain.  Him sez I should learn some manners but I think I was within my rights.

Crossing the Plains

A whole lot of windshield time to Southwestern Kansas.

I had a great weekend out in the far southwestern corner of the civilized world for the Christmas holiday.  Him and me took off after closing the store on Christmas Eve and got to our destination just after 7:00.  I was soooo happy to see Him's folks cause they might spoil me a bit.  See there was ham and pie waiting for us when we got there and don't tell anyone but I do like a good piece o ham.  The next day Him's sister got there and we had a whole lot of fun and then there was TURKEY and some gravey that maybe I got some of when no one was looking.  I do love my aunt Sam.

Have bed will travel

Look at all those presents and none for me....

Pose in the snow Him said....

Sometimes I like the observation platform the best.

Ho Ho Ho!

Merry Christmas!  So this is what is meant by a White Christmas.  It was a beautiful sunrise but to be real honest I would like snow a whole lot more if it were not so blasted cold.  That's why I finally just curled up on one of my favorite laps for a much needed Christmas nap.

I did not want to be the baby Jesus AGAIN this year.

Holiday Greetings Just Keep A Comin'

Look what I got today!  Jonathan Wood  dropped this off at Lawrence Photo today made in his print shop, Running Dove Press . Per Jonathan "Letterpress - The bleeding'edge of printing technology ... circa 1890"

'tis the season!

I can always tell when he is up to something and today was the day.... I heard him fiddling around back in the studio setting up lighting and what not so I tried to ignore all that and get caught up on my snoozing (there's nothing quite like taking a nap when it is raining outside.)  Guess that did not work though and sure enough he found me took my collar off me (usually that means a  B A T H which I don't like at all so I was prewarned that something was about to happen.  Sure enough he sets my butt down on the studio table next to some purty Christmas decorations and the flash started poppin.  I have learned to close my eyes and to turn my head cause I've been down this road before.  Well looks like he got what he wanted for our Christmas card so maybe that will be it for the studio photos for this year.

Rednecks and Their Horse - Patches

Ok, these good ol' boys have quite a horse ... atleast I think it is a horse and not a couple guys in a horse suit.  But can Patches ride a motorcycle?  I know it's been a while since I have posted anything but I've been real busy at work helping Santa and his elves that stop by for holiday & Christmas gifts for their loved ones (and sometimes even for themselves I do believe.) But I had to take a quick break and pass this along.

Texas, It's a Whole 'Nuther Country

It's been a while since I have been to Texas but there sure is some pretty scenery. 

Safer Motorcycle Riding

Air Bag Suit for Motorcyclist this video shows how technology and the human spirit is constantly on the move forward.  Wonder when they will come up with one of these for me?

Catz are weird

Catz are weird.  There I said it.  They play with their food before eating it.  Sometimes they just sit around showing it off to any ol' passerby that will take notice.  This cat ain't afraid of nuthin.  Me and him walk past it several times a week and all it does is sit there and watch us.  I would chase it if Him would let me.  I bet I could catch it or atleast give it a good run for the money.  This pic was taken with Him's camera phone.  So it's not the best photo.  I am going to post some pictures maybe later today that show the difference between using what you've got when the moment is at hand and using a better tool.

I am re-blogging this from a friend of mine who posted this yesterday..."Brian DeFrees spent two months between August and October of this year driving a giant loop around the United States on a 12,225 mile long road trip.  He captured a photo every 5 seconds using an intervalometer with his Canon 60D while in his car and by creating individual time-lapse videos when parked or exploring an area.  The result is this epic 5 minute long time lapse."

 Way to go! I like seeing the clouds and the rain.

ps.  all the equipment used is available at Lawrence Photo.  (hint hint!)

Free Kitty!

Him found this on that website called FaceBook.  I thought it was funny.  Good thing that for the most part we do not have an issue with ill behaved children.  We have the best customers in the world at Lawrence Photo!  After all, aren't you one of them?

Welcoming Home Vetrans .... Words not necessary.

Mammoth Miniature

500,000 man hours (I don't know how many dog hours) and those German's have done it again...this time in Hamburg.  As many of you know I like trains....and this is way cool.  Trains, airplanes, Europe and The Grand Canyon!
