Mckinney Skatepark

Mckinney get its own skatepark.   Man I wish I was younger and still skated.  I'm tempted (not really) to try it, maybe at 6 am when no one else would be there!    Its pretty cool, and a good size.  Has a great pool that makes me drool, but I know I'd never, ever try that!   No half pipe though, too bad.

It was opening day and very crowded, I tried to get some shots but will have to go back so treat these as teasers.

CMRA Racing

Photo meetup shoot today.  CMRA Street Bike Racing in Decatur, Tx.    Its been years since I shot motorcycle races.  Mosport Park in Shubenacadie, NS and many, many years ago.  I was looking forward to this.  I got to the track about 9:30 and somehow managed to snag a photo vest.  This gave me access to the track that other would not get. 

I'm on one knee, and this other guys asks me if I've ever shot here before.  I say no.  He offers words of wisdom, suggets I stand, its quicker to move....    Thanks!    A short while later, I have left that area and sure enough a motorcycle, and rider, end up approximately where I was.   Mental note....

Anyway, great day, great shots.   Here are some (a lot) of my favorites.

Downtown Memphis

Was on a work trip to Memphis last week.   Was fortunate enough to be able to stay downtown, within walking distance to Beale St and other areas.   I took my camera with me but unfortunately the weather only cooperated one evening so I just managed to get a few late evening shots. Nothing too exciting.
