My newest chickens, Pancho, Lefty and Willie Nelson

Really gotten behind on keeping this blog updated with my life.  I decided to take some quick shots of my newest chickens, Pancho, Lefty and Willie Nelson.  I believe Pancho to be a Bluebell and Lefty to be a Black Laced Silver Wyandotte.  I am no chicken expert but those are my best guesstimates. I think that Willie Nelson is a Buff Orpington and he is the sweetest chicken EVER but he does poop on the couch. Jumps up on my back, follows me around and I SWEAR he even knows his name.

Baja bugs are super fun

Baja bugs are super fun and I can't believe more people aren't into them. They are cheap to build or buy and are street legal.

2021 Snap-on calendar is out!

Just got a package from Wild Impact, the marketing team behind the Snap-on calendar contest.  They sent us 5 complimentary calendars!  Although I didn't get paid for this, it is great to put on my resume as the photographer behind an image on the Snap-on calendar!  Gabe is equally excited to have his 1946 UL Harley chopper make the calendar and it is the ONLY motorcycle on the calendar!!!!

Thank you to Wild Impact and Snap-on tools for selecting his chopper and my photography!

I bought a 1980 CJ7 in 2017 but didn't have it long.  This CJ5 drives really amazing.

Gabe's 1946 Harley Davidson will be on Snap-on® Tools 2021 Snap-shots wall calendar



1946 Harley Davidson will be featured in the Snap-on® Tools 2021 Snap-shots wall calendar

Great news!   Gabe's 1946 Harley Davidson will be featured in the Snap-on® Tools 2021 Snap-shots wall calendar.  I photographed his big twin flathead chopper in Searcy County last year on the Wooden Bridge Road over Bear Creek.  Gabe built his chopper that he calls “The Troglodyte” over a two year span while gathering mostly used parts from swap meets.
The Snap-shots series of calendars was developed by Snap-on® Tools in 1995 as a tribute to the dedicated professionalism of automotive technicians and hobbyists who use Snap-on®  products. The calendars annually have featured Snap-on® customers’ custom and classic vehicles they have created, restored or maintained.
Snap-on® franchises and representatives invite customers to submit photographs of custom or classic vehicles they own, which are then reviewed and narrowed down to a final group.  Gabe was notified in February that he had been selected as a finalist to be considered for one of the three calendars that Snap-on®  produces; Snap-shots wall calendar, mini calendar and Tech Toys.
Snap-shot calendars are available from local Snap-on®  Tools franchises or representatives and are distributed all around the world.
