It has taken a little bit, but Ryan emailed me photos he took of Dave's finger. Since they are on the graphic side, we had to figure out a way to post them, but click into them. Thanks to the Wasatch Front Regional Council for the donation of 10 MB of web space. The photos are behind the links.

Complaints about these photos should be addressed to Ryan, he took them.

Edge of the frontier series
The next bunch of photos are what I am calling my "on the edge of the frontier series". When anyone ask where I live an I tell them west of Airport II, I always get the response "oh, you live way out there". As if I can only get here by horse and buggy (yea, right- I wish)!
But since we have an official government sanctioned "prairie parcel" in the neighborhood I guess it counts as wild lands. They say there are Burrowing Owls in the field, but I still as of yet haven't seen them. Oh well, whatever it takes to keep from having every last inch paved. Maybe I should consider getting a milk cow to complete the local ensemble. Perhaps a couple of those mini-beef s you see at the state fair, a goat, some sheep- but I draw the line at chickens. Smelly dumb animals. Someone else will have to do chickens.

Home, Home on the Range. And another, and another...

Out foxed!

The fox you see way out in the field had been behind a bush about three feet away from me when I took the previous picture. As soon as I released the shutter, he made his move. I saw him out of the corner of my eye but he quickly out manuvuered me before a could get a shot off. By the time I got to the dirt road he was way out in the field.
Finally!
Finally getting around to posting some shots I took with Ryan several months ago. What else am I going to do on a snowy holiday with a gimped up finger?! Most of the next 13 photos were taken with Ryan on a couple "urban safari shoots" we have done.
"They quoted me too much!"
Nikon D40, Nikon 18-55mm, 1/25 sec, f/5.6, ISO 400.I was out on photo-safari with Ryan when he screeches the car to a stop and makes a quick U-turn. I didn't notice anything special when we drove by, so I figure Ryan must have smelled the brake lubricant as we passed. Anyway, he ends up talking to this guy for a few minutes which gave me a chance to snap a few shots.
DANGER, Will Robinson!
Nikon D40, Nikon 55-200mm, 1/80 sec, f/25, ISO 400.I wonder if the guy who runs this machine gets hazard pay? From the looks of the labels, it appears that any button or lever is going to end in imminent death.
Where's ET and Elliot, or is it Dorothy and Toto?
Nikon D40, Nikon 18-55mm, 1/2000 sec, f/9, ISO 800.This is actually someones Halloween decoration. There is usually a witch riding on the bike. But by the time a got around to getting the picture, Halloween was past. I guess getting the bike down is a lot of work. But I like this better with the witch missing.
Wagon Wheels

Looking West
I couldn't decide which of these I liked the best. I think I prefer the one looking west, because of the color. Jene' liked the east view because of contrast.

The "Franken Finger"
On New Year's Eve, Dave, one of the Shadow Project photographers decided to save some wood and run his finger through the router instead. This afternoon, he invited the rest of us over to witness the changing of his dressing. I won't post pictures of the actual injury, but this was the scene.
