Endo Turned One!

I guess it’s been a while since I’ve updated. I had intended to update regularly, but the WordPress Android app doesn’t work as well as I had hoped.  Plus, there’s not been a lot going on.  The weather has been very spring-like (wet and cold) and has not allowed for any good bike rides on the trails or on the road. Since the last update, I’ve still had a lot of fun, though.
First, my little boy celebrated his first birthday with a brand new “Birthday Ball”! He loves it. He might love it a bit too much.

#SideEye

And, while I haven’t posted a video of it, he does manage to get hold of it from time to time. Boy, does he ever LOVE tugging on it when he does manage to bite it. It’s supposed to be a toy for horses, but don’t tell a Cattle Dog what to do. They just ignore you anyway

New beginnings

Well, it would appear that Facebook had finally done the unforgivable and I’m done with their products. In the spirit of smooth transitions, I’m restarting the content here with a cross post of my last good post on Facebook.

I have yet to decide if I will create a separate online property for Endo Adventure Dog. I suspect that I will. But, for now, I’ll post everything here.

Enjoy these videos of Red Sky Kiter, Ryan on a very chilly March afternoon at Maumee Bay State Park.

Team Toledo Triathlon Time Trial #1 – 2016

Thursday, Phil Carroll put on the first of three scheduled Time Trial races hosted by Team Toledo Triathlon club.  Fifteen riders took to the 9 mile course starting and ending at Otsego Park in Grand Rapids Ohio. Ten of those riders did a second lap.

My only compensation for missing out on my regular Thursday night ride and laying on the ground (I got a tick on my chest from that!) to get these amazing photos is your patronage.

If you’d like to use these photos online, please purchase a digital version. I’ve priced them very reasonably. If you’d like something to hang on your wall, by all means, please buy as many prints as you’d like!

Here are the event photos.

Titans Cheer Extreme Novi Competition

Abbie Garber & her mom invited me to attend the Novi competition to take pictures of Abbie.  I was granted a sort-of all-access pass and allowed to follow the teams as they warmed up, primped and competed. This is, without a doubt, the most difficult photography one could possibly take on.  I love the challenge!

These girls put on a performance like I’ve never seen. The Seniors were, in a word, Extreme. 300+ more pics after the break.

Maumee State Forest – First Attempt

Today, I learned that the correct place to stand is on the inside of the turn, not the outside. I’m giving myself a break though. This was my first attempt at photographing motocross. They’ll get better, I’m sure. These two guys were nice enough to stop and chat with me for a few minutes. I will probably see them again… they gave me some valuable insight into upcoming events and happenings. Thanks guys!

Unfortunately, they were the only ones on the trail, still. While they were nice enough to loop around and ape for the camera, I only got a couple of decent shots. So… here they are.

Early Walleye Run

Today, I ventured down to the river to get some pictures of Toledo area people being awesome. It’s nearly the start of the walleye run and people were out in the river trying to catch something. I didn’t see anyone haul one in so I think the water is still too cold.  It looked like they were enjoying the effort though. I think I’ll take the kayak out next weekend and see if I can get some shots from the water.  I worry about getting in the way, though. I’ll have to be very careful about that.

If you’d like one (or more) of these pictures, please contact me at pete@hustwayte.com. I’ll hook you up with a digital image (minus the watermark) or a print –

digital = $8.00 each, or 3 for $15.00.
8X10 prints for $20 each.

Self Portraits at Side Cut Metropark

I was bored today, so I decided to go take some shots that I’ve had in mind for portraits. Hopefully, I’ll be able to get some paid models for these shots in the not too distant future. I like the way they turned out. However, posing one’s self is more awkward than posing for someone else.
