I spent most of the evening tonight looking at my new Artful Blogger magazine and wow is it amazing! SO many of my blogging buddies are featured and It was really interesting to read everyones thoughts and experiences about blogging and what motivates them. I am felling REALLY guilty for my lack of blog motivation lately. I am chalking it up to summer and wanting to be outside playing. It is so hard to stay home and do art when you live at the beach! I have been working on a few Painter paintings and I will post them over the weekend. Have a fun weekend!

This sums it up....

This photo is from the Biker benefit for the Va. Beach SPCA I photographed a couple of weeks ago. This story has really hit a nerve here in Virginia and it has been the top story since April. We have been very involved with the situation at my shelter and VERY frustrated with the local officials dragging their feet and probably getting paid off to look the other way. FINALLY the federal government has intervened and taken over the investigation. I cannot tell you how bad some of the dogs were from this compound...most of them have been destoyed because they were so badly injured or to aggressive to adopt out. The bait dogs were heart breaking. I really try and keep my blog happy go lucky, but this situation really pisses me off to no end. There has to be a special corner of hell for people who electrocute, strangle and drown dogs....for people who tie female dogs up to "rape stands" so they can be constantly attacked by male dogs...Anyone who thinks he did not know about this and participate is deluding themselves. The only people living in that house were on food stamps, with no jobs. The money to care for (ha ha) and train 70 dogs is coming from some where...PLEASE take a moment out of your day and email the NFL and let them know that you want Michael Vick suspended from the NFL indefinately. Is this the image they want to send out to kids??? Click here to help:

SPCA Bike classic TTV shots

This past weekend a group of local bikers hosted an event to benefit the VBSPCA. I went to photograph the event and was instantly captivated by all of the amazing motorcyles there. Most of them were like works of art that I could have photographed all day long. I really thought some TTV shots would be a great way to showcase some of the details of the bikes. These are a few of my favorites...I had a great time at the event and met a lot of really nice people. I hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend...be safe!
