Horsing around

A third horse joined in on the fun and the race was on...

Chicken crossing the road

A free-range chicken crosses a rural county road on a rainy afternoon near Roseburg, Ore., on Monday, Jan. 28, 2013. The chicken appeared to be looking for earth worms to eat on the wet pavement.

Why? I shot a similar photo about a year ago. I hate to copy myself, but I can't refuse to take such a fun photo.

Seven Feathers wedding show on Sunday

Don't miss the Wedding Dreams Forever wedding fair at the Seven Feathers Casino and Resort in Canyonville, Ore., on Sunday, Jan 27, 2013.  It's free!  I'll be there with a display of my wedding photography.  I'll also have my Open Air photo booth setup and be giving away prints.

Shooting the Ruger LCR 38 special

We had a visit from a Ruger LCR .38 Special +P revolver in my Roseburg, Ore., photography studio the other day. Shooting the mostly black revolver on a black background was a challenge, but it turned out pretty nice. 

No longer as popular as semi-automatic pistols, revolvers continue to be used as backup guns by American law enforcement and for personal protection. Due to the gun's reliability and simplicity revolvers are also popular as concealed weapons. Many gun stores in the United States are running low on firearms and ammunition. Gun buyers have been stocking up due to fears that stricter gun control laws may soon go into effect.
