Here’s a piece I produced about Noah Parker from Land of Enchantment Guides. I shot this package last October for Rosa Linda Román and her website New Mexicast.

This shoot encompassed a full day of travel, hiking, fishing and quite a bit of fun. I started my adventure around 730am just south of Taos at Noah’s ranch. From there we drove north for about 90 minutes, arriving near the Colorado border. After that, we hiked another hour down the river where we started our fishing day.

Here’s a taste of that wonderful time.

I typically don’t post material from other people on this website but I thought this was a great video. I figure it would make any motorcyclist smile on this, the first day of the new year.

I just want to inform you that I added three more webcams to my page. One from my favorite national park. That is Zion NP. I also added cameras from Old Faithful at Yellowstone NP and another from Yosemite which shows Half Dome.

I plan to totally revamp this website to make it even better that it is now. Ideas I have are to create a live webcast as well as start a sister site with a business idea I have.

I hope everyone has a wonderful new year and if you are on the road, please be safe.

I just got back from another trip out in New Mexico and added 4000 miles to my motorcycle’s odometer.

While in NM, I did some freelance for Rosa Linda Roman’s website called New Mexicast. I shot and edited a piece on fly fishing along the Chama River with Noah Parker from Land of Enchantment Guides. It was a long 14 hour day but very enjoyable. I was surrounded by some great scenery and Noah and his friend Cha were fun company to shoot.

They caught several Rainbow Trout and released them back in the water. The piece should air on New Mexicast soon. I will post a link when it does.

After the shoot, I spent most of the rest of my visit at my old haunts in Albuquerque. I worked on logging and editing the fishing piece and contacted a few employers without much luck.

I took a day hike with my friend Alex to an old plane crash, TWA flight 260, that occurred in the mid-50s. I’m in the process of editing that video and I hope to post the hike later this week.

This is video from my May trip to Albuquerque. While in ABQ, i decided to sneak into Utah to catch some of my favorite sites. Angels Landing is a 4 to 5 hour roundtrip trek in Zion National Park. The views at the top are outstanding. This is considered the second toughest hike in Zion, next to Observation Point. I hope to be back soon.

I’ve been back from The Outer Banks of North Carolina for over a month now, but I never did post the surprisingly exciting event of the these tiny creatures.

The event took place at the Scotch Bonnet Fudge Store in Frisco, NC. There were only 4 participants in this race. Jimmy The Crab was the favorite but as you can tell from the video, Hermee nudge out the win to take the prize.

I decided that I wanted a few additional features that my VPIP plugin for video didn’t offer so I am changing my video player for Listen to the Wind. Instead of a plugin, I am now just embedding code. This is better in case a future version of Wordpress becomes incompatible with Vpip.

My player now has nicer features like the ability to view videos in full screen.

My friends, i hope you like the changes.

Now seeing the Ocracoke Light Station wasn’t my favorite part of this visit to the landmark, but rather it was meeting The Light Keeper itself. This individual was a young and very mellow cat that slept on the boardwalk leading to the light station. Like someone there told me, every lighthouse needs a lighthouse cat.

This is probably my favorite landmark here on the Island. It’s the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse. Years back The National Parks Service had to move the lighthouse because of beach erosion. Now it sits safely back from the water. The NPS charges a $7 fee to climb to the top of the lighthouse which seemed a little steep for to me, so I passed on that pleasure.

As a kid, I had fished The Outer Banks on vacations. I’m not much of a fisherman anymore, but I thought it would be fun to stop by the Avon Pier. As I arrived, this man was unhooking a Spinner shark. The fish was not happy either. After the shark was posed for a few pictures, the fisherman released the fish back into the water.
