Hangin On The Farm

I just spent 4 days camping on the farm I grew up on and boy was it fun. The "land" as we have been calling it since we were kids now has electricity and running water. This is a joy as when we were kids we did not have either. my mom put in a well that pumps water up to a big holder then the pressure makes running water. The best part of this trip was all of my brothers and my sister were present. We also never got into a fight :-) this is hard when you put so many people together in one place for so long lol.

This photo was taken while driving up to the land. there is a 80 miles trek that you drive where there is not one gas station. Its all hills and its so pretty. But if your car breaks down you are out of luck.


When I first got to hayfork I ran into these cows. Oh man you got to love farm life.


We had a bomb fire each night I think I started most of them. Just like our beach camping trips here in the DC area I love to start fires hehe. These fire we did on the land were huge. we had unlimited free wood hehe


The first night we got in we had a huge fire and took this photo with my bros and sister. I love this shot because we had so much fun that night catching up and talking. You have to love family man.


This little horse was in front of the small town store. Pretty cool not sure if it worked hehe


I took my moms ATV this time all of the way up the hill past her land and into national forest. This time i went up so fare I got to a fire look out road with in the national forest. I then drove on it about 5 miles way into the back woods. my moms land ends at national forest and that goes on and on forever. There is no end to it. I ran into some awesome creeks and hunting posts. it was cool.


I took this in the back woods way way back in the woods hehe

The New Brandon

So found out today my little bro is having a baby boy. He has also named him Brandon. I can not believe someone in our family is finally having a kid. Out of 4 of us no one has done it yet. So she is 6 months along i think now meaning i am going to be an uncle in 3 months. Wow crazy to think about. But I am super excited to be one. I know my mom and dad are like going crazy. They have been trying to get a grand kid for years now. Cool stuff.

Also its funny I got a really good friend named Brandon so the name already rings good with me. Now there will be B-Dog and B-Lil-Dog :-) aka B-Little-Dog :-)

Mini Photo Trek

Well wanted to go take some photos of the cherry blossoms this Sunday but there was some race with 12k people so i decided to just walk around the old town side to see if i could get some. Well not many cherry blossoms near old town that are worth taking photos of but got some other cool photos i like. I have to get over there this week before they are gone :-(

I love Black and White Photos

So a a friend of mine Tine who I have known for about 7 years way before meetin days got some photos taken of her. I have to admit I love these photos and wish i had a studio like this one used to take photos this cool. Photos are one of my biggest passions. I really love black and white. I love the black and white photos. For some reason with a black and white photo I feel by looking into the subjects eyes I can look into there soul.

Me, Tina and Ming ( i took this with my other hand )


Here are the photos i really like

this black and white is the best by fare


some others that are good but not as good as the black and white one in my view.






this one is not the same artist just her doing a show.

Future of Energy

So been recently reading allot about the "Stirling Energy Systems" used to make power from he sun witch then turn a turbine. This stuff seems to be really great. I am trying to figure out why the feds to not money up 20 bil or so to really test this out. I mean we have spent billions trying to build one clean coal plant that has failed. Why is everything in this country done for the good of lobbyist and not the good of the country its self. Anyways if you see this video you will see California is already way ahead of any of the other us states on this. Cali laws reflect and are similar to the ones in Europe. Have to give them credit they have almost met this. This is much better then many of the other countries in Europe even.

Video that better explains how the Stirling Energy Systems will change our life's :-) if the feds wake up that is.
