I’m a Snapshooter. I looked it up. “Snapshooter: a person who takes snapshots.” That would be me. I think Snapshot-ographer is more like it. I do not take photographs. I take snapshots. Snapshot: a casual photograph made typically by an amateur with a small hand-held camera. Or in my case…. an iPhone holstered to my hip […]

I was on the phone with my daughter and kept being distracted by a ruckus outside. “Ruckus” meaning the familiar sound of 3 dogs having something either treed or cornered. I told her “I’ll call you back. The dogs have something out front. I need to make sure it’s not a cat.” Punishment is swift […]

This was my 3rd iPhone 4S since January. I say that with much fondness and in the past tense. I loved that iPhone. My step-daughter, Kaity, was here for a whole week. I had a riding buddy at last! I was so excited that I was determined to document everything because….. well that’s what I […]

“Hey buddy, where can a frog wet his whistle around here?” It’s been almost 110 degrees every day this week. As I was watering my only surviving flower-pot this little froggie jumped out.

Things happen to me. I fancy myself a pretty good hand with a horse. I feel comfortable multi-tasking while riding. I’ve led pack-strings in the mountains of Wyoming. I’ve had cowboys let me hold calves with a rope while they doctor. You know …. western cowboy stuff. I’m used to riding a horse and letting […]

The past few weeks I have been perfecting my technique of “Shoulder Shots”. That is taking snapshots over my shoulder behind me while I’m riding or walking or 4-wheeling. What is the purpose of this? ( I know you are wondering) 1. First and foremost, for my own entertainment. 2. I’m very curious to see […]

I am a “Snapshooter”. Really. It’s in the dictionary even though WordPress doesn’t recognize it. It’s right above “Snapshot”. A person who takes snapshots.“Snapshot” is a word made up in the year 1890. A casual photograph made typically by an amateur (me) with a small handheld camera (fits in my pocket). I spent a few […]
