We have been working oin several places that we want to photograph in all four season. I think we have one in each season now of the Spring Mill. I would like to have one with more snow, but was lucky to get one at all this year. I think what I really hate about photos of Spring Mill is the goofy chain link fence which now surrounds the whole place. It sucks.
As a side note - I operated the crane that drove sheet piling behind the dam several years ago. The sheet piling stopped the water flowing underneath the dam.
This had gotten bad enough that water would not flow over the top any more. It flows over nicely now don’t you think? The fence still sucks.
Leave a comment and tell us what you think.

The White River at Batesville, AR is climbing the banks. Shown here is the Stop sign for people to make sure nothing is coming down the river before crossing. You can still see a little snow left for yesterdays blizzard.

We just finished photographing the basketball tournament hosted by Cave City High School and enjoyed every aspect of it. It is always a pleasure to work with the students, faculty and staff at Cave City. The new campus is state of the art and the hospitality of the whole community is unbelievable. The organizational skills and support operated like clock work. It began with the friendly staff/students in the parking lot, continued with the smiling people at the ‘Pass Gate’ and Lobby entrance, permeated through the helpers in the gym and bubbled into the ‘Hospitality Room’. There were so many happy, helpful volunteers in supply, you would have thought you were in a more populated city. When parking over flowed to the old campus, several shuttle buses made quick trips so attendees wouldn’t have to walk so far. We noticed one of the bus drivers was the smiling head honcho himself, Mr. Steve Green, Superintendent.
We heard wonderful stories about people spending their lunch breaks from their regular jobs to come to the school and volunteer time to help make this event a success. Much of the food (especially the desserts, my favorite part!) was homemade by family and friends of school personnel and let us tell you…it was mmmm, mmmm, good!
Now to the actual tournament…The Cavewomen were awesome. They played their hearts out all week making it to the final game. Unfortunately, they did not win their last game, but they won the hearts of the home crowd.

We are very proud of your accomplishments and the way you represented the spirit and pride of Cave City. We will probably see some of the same athletes real soon on the softball field. We wish you the best.
So, if you haven’t had a chance to visit the brand new Cave City High School campus you are missing out on one of the best things that has happened in our region in a while. Take time to attend a sporting event or school function at Cave City and support our future - the young people.

Well the roads where fine but the bridges are dicey. There was an accident on the White River Bridge this morning. I don’t know if anyone was injured, but there was an ambulance on the scene. Channel 4 from Little Rock had a crew staked out at the top of Ramsey Mountain. I am sure they will use the shot of backed up traffic for their background.
As I am typing this at our studio on HWY 167 I hear another ambulance going somewhere. Slow down people!

I thought I would add a post since it has been a while. Both Sheri and I have been really busy. I have been extra busy at my job and I am currently in Orlando Florida. I was attending the International Builders convention.

This convention is huge! I mean when they build actual houses for exhibit booth? Yeah that’s right, actual full blow houses. I was there representing Lomanco, the company at which I am employed. Go by Lomanco.com if you are curious what we manufacture. By the way I designed and maintain the website.
Well I am fixing to board. I will post a few photos later.

Wow! The Cave City Gym is really nice! Tonight was the first time I have had the chance to be there and shoot.

A special Thanks to Coach Bradley for giving me the Grand Tour! She informed me that this will be the location for the district tournament. Nice, Really Nice!
