Waiting to fly home from either Albuquerque or Vegas, I can’t remember which. They were both grueling (but rewarding) video shoots.

Missouri River, anyone?

The view from atop the North Dakota State Capitol. This is from the 18th floor but I’ve shot from the roof a couple of times, too.

I had so much fun unloading these steel beams, but it was STRESSFUL! At times I had stacks of five or six beams on the forks. It was both fun and terrifying to lift those huge chunks of steel and try not to drop any. We unloaded SIX trucks full of steel without incident. Bobcat makes an amazing machine.

I spotted this parked near north 9th Street. Pretty neat, huh? It’s made by a company called Aquajet.

My one year old, sportin’ a pair of Daddy’s sunglasses while out on an adventure with me in the truck.

Yep, I just reposted this picture earlier. It’s a “government fix” at the federal building on 3rd and Rosser.

The Bismarck-Mandan Symphony performed for the Independence Day celebration festivities at the ND State Capitol. One of my photos of this event with my “real” camera was a winner in the Governor’s Photo Contest this year.

I don’t consider myself an old person, but I remember rotary phones. I became a teenageer in the early 1980s, when technology really started to take off. In just the short time of my teens I saw the Walkman, the cordless phone, the CD player, the cellular phone, and many other inventions become reality. Now I’ve got a phone the size of a Snickers bar that can take amazing photos and send them to whomever I choose. Ain’t technology grand? Of course, I’m still waiting for my flying car.
