Sylvania Cycling Classic 2016

Posted on by
I may have some organization issues with these pics so you may see some categorized incorrectly. I thank photoreflect and lightroom for that. I should have had these done a week ago, but Lightroom has been impossible to work with on my main PC.
 
Anyway, enjoy. Buy as many as you’d like!
 
 
Feel free to share the link around to your friends and family. They might like to have a print of you doing what you love, too!
Here are just a few of my favorites…

Team Toledo Triathlon Time Trial #1 – 2016

Posted on by

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.

Lacrosse Perrysburg Jr High

Posted on by

My friend Suzanne recently asked me to come photograph her son’s lacrosse game. This photo-shoot was a research and warm up for that gig.  These are the Perrysburg 8th grade Rec-league kids. The goalie in white is a coworkers kid.  He’s good.  He’s damn good.

Now, I’m ready for a high school game!

Maumee State Forest – Easter Sunday

Posted on by

I told you I’d get better! Out of 300 pictures, I managed nearly 200 pics worth sharing.  I think I’ve found a new way to spend a weekend afternoon when I’m done with the bike and there’s no wind.

I hope you all enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking the pictures. I think, for a change, editing the pictures was actually more fun than taking them. I was pleasantly surprised at how well most of them came out!

Prices, as always are:
$8.00 each or 3-for-$15.00 for digital images (suitable for sharing online but not good enough for printing).
$35.00 for full size digital prints (suitable for 8X10 at a minumim)
8X10 prints are $20.

Send me an email – pete@hustwayte.com – to let me know what pics you’re interested in buying.

Walleye Run Day 2 – Buttonwood Park

Posted on by

More shots of the anglers out there today trying to find their 4-walleye limit. Lots of full stringers came out of that section of the river today. The Marlboro and FS Pickup Truck demographic represents well on this, the first day of spring.  Way to go, gang!

Most of these pictures are of people who will probably never know they exist. I like the shots from across the river, but I had no way to get my card to them. I need an assistant on the other bank dropping my business card into people’s tackle boxes! My kids are too old to be suckered into that kind of work and my grand-kids aren’t old enough to walk the banks alone. Feh.  Anyway, if you see anyone here that you know, feel free to share the link with them.

Hell, share the link anyway. You never know.

If you’d like to buy a copy of any of these, prices are:
$8.00 each or 3-for-$15.00 for digital images.
8X10 prints are $20.

Drop me an email with the name of the picture that you’d like to purchase and I’ll hook you up — pete@hustwayte.com

Mid March Madness

Posted on by

Well, the wind was forecast for between 30 and 50 and I think it delivered. This time was much cleaner wind than last time, too. Unfortunately, I was the only kiter. Ryan had something come up at the last minute and John, well… something about taking a delivery and back doors or something like that.  Who knows with him. He might not even be a kiter any more.

Mark and Gary represented the windsurf crew with some ancient gear. For Mark, it was the Big Wind Wednesday board which had been hanging in the shop since 2002. And, other than the lack of grip on top, I think he did OK on it.  Gary was on a 3.0 sail that just looked too small. Though, I’m sure he had his ass handed to him a few times. It was that kind of day.

At any rate, here are the pics I managed to grab.

The Winter Version

Posted on by

Maumee Bay State Park is among my favorite places on Earth. I go there so many times during the warmer months that I might be better off if I just rented a campsite. You’ve probably seen a plethora of pictures of the beach during the summer when people are playing (Lord knows you have if you follow me). Today, I had the place to myself. It’s still a gorgeous spot, even with a light snow cover.

That last picture is a fish that someone had set up on a picnic table – presumably as a feast for the gulls. And, while you can’t see it in that picture, trust me when I say that the gulls were thoroughly enjoying the meal.

I can’t wait to put a kite in the air, again.

Bridges – Photo Walk

Posted on by

Ryan Tester and I went for a photo-walk in downtown Toledo with Bridges as our theme. We started with a foot bridge near the train station. Then, we went to the High-Level/Anthony Wayne Bridge. Finally, we scoped out some shots for next time at the Veterans Memorial Skyway.  I had a lot of fun doing this. You never know what kind of beauty you can coax out of an old abandoned thing until you really spend some time with it. The foot bridge was like that.  I was instantly bored when we walked to the far side – for better light. Then, I looked closer. Then, closer still.
