That’s Right! Here we come (again)! Vegas Baby! It’s Katherine’s birthday this weekend and I guess she didn’t hear those magic words still ringing in our ears from our trip on Thanksgiving (Wheel Of Fortune!!!) – so where does she want to celebrate… VEGAS! Yeah!

We’re hitting the road tomorrow morning bright & early with my sister; Tawnya & some friends of ours to pile into a suite on the strip for massive partying, dining & who knows, maybe a try at good old Lady Luck. And, since we’re going to be there for her b-day, we’re going to celebrate LARGE & IN CHARGE for the New Year Holiday!

Stay tuned for some snaps from the world famous iPhone gallery over the next few days. You might even see another champagne pyramid!

Have a fantastic New Year’s Holiday – Cheers!

Not too long ago, I received a call from one of my vendors; Pictureline.com. They were interested in seeing a photo or two for consideration to be used in an international ad campaign on their website, postcards and POPs in their brick store in Salt Lake City for their Pictureline community.

So I sent a couple of photos in & pretty much lost track of it as I burried myself in my last couple of events at the end of the year and wrapping up the post production for 2007 along with the last albums. Well I was just informed that one of my favourite photos from Becka & Mike’s Wedding back in August was used for their campaign! YEAH!

I love shopping from Pictureline not only for their selection, but their customer service rocks! When they founded pictureline.com as a website more than ten years ago, their goal was to promote photographers and their photography. And now they have worked hard to define a concept and design that meets the goals and the needs of photographers today. To that end, they have created a community in which they can promote our photographers and their work.

Check out the ad & check out their site – you’ll love it!

What a great way to start the holidays! It looks like Christmas came early for us – cheers!

That’s right! The International Motorcycle Show made it’s annual appearance in the beautiful city of Long Beach! And it was better than ever! Too bad that the weather didn’t cooperate, because it was dreary & raining from time-to-time – so I didn’t ride this year. But I still went & had a great time.Pleanty of killer things to check out including… you guessed it – the NEW DUCATIS! Yeah! Totally Killer!

The new redesigned Monster (GROWL!), the 1098R; the fasted twin on the planet with a heart pounding 180 HP! I guess you would have to have a seatbelt to keep you on that when you rip from 0-60 in what feels like nothing flat. And a custom Monster as well, that looked like it would peel the asphalt off the road just when you would start the motor.

And, there were some amazing custom bikes in the extreme side of the event. Some old rides, new rides, and bikes that were built by hand from scratch. My favourite was the Crusader – deep maroon red with Excalibur swords for handlebars. Every detail was met for that ride and it drew quite the crowd as people snapped away with thier cameras.

What was the most unique thing about this year’s show, was that the weather was beautiful the next day & the red Ducati semi was shining at the entrance in the sun. So what did I do? What any other Ducatist would do. Stop, put my camera on a cone & take a snap in front of the truck with the Long Beach skyline in the background.Ride safe & keep the shiny side up – cheers!
