Back in August, on the weekend of the 18th and 19th, the Monticello Range Riders hosted their first annual single action cowboy shootout in Elephant Butte, New Mexico. For all you city slickers that ain't in the know, single action cowboy shootin' requires that members wear period western costumes and shoot period model guns, aka single action shooters! Their society is the SASS or the Single Action Shooting Society. Here are some pics. Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best Dam Car Show August 2012

Hi Folks,

We've been really busy these last few weeks! Went to a cowboy shootout. Went to Carlsbad Caverns. Flew up in a helicopter and, rode a hot air balloon! And a classic car show and BBQ! Whew!

Gone Fishin'

Hi Folks,

Just finished this fishing video, and uploaded on YouTube. Very special thanks to Ron for taking me out on his boat, and showing me some good fishing spots out on the lake :)

Thirsty?

The Ivory Tusk Tavern and Restaurant needed new pictures of cocktails and mixed drinks, and so I, um, volunteered for the job :)  Big thanks to awesome mixologists Robert and Sonny! If y'all are in town, stop by and have a drink at the tavern!

A fruity cocktail for those hot summer days!

The tavern can mix and serve you just about any type of drink

Susie and Madeline enjoy good conversation while sampling various beverages

Mike and Donna's Wedding

Mike and Donna got married last Saturday, August 11, 2012 at the Elephant Butte Inn. Their ceremony was held at the grounds of the Inn, and the reception was held at the atrium in the Ivory Tusk Tavern and Restaurant. I was able to take a few photos for them and for the Inn. Enjoy!

Surfing New Mexico!

Hi Folks,

Over the last couple of weekends (and a weekday thrown in here and there) I was fortunate enough to shoot some video and photos at Elephant Butte Lake and the Rio Grande River.

Here are some pics and some screenshots of people kayaking and tubing on the river, wakerboarding, and even surfing on the lake!
