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.

Sylvania Cycling Classic 2016

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

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

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!

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 – Easter Sunday

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.

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.
