Finger tab
mine is just a loose tab that protects my fingers from the string

need to relax

helps to not close eyes
i bet i'd shoot straighter ;)

Pumpkin Patch

First thing you should consider is the proper attire for pumpkin hunting
IMG_3396.jpg 2006-10-15

Clothes should be loose fitting and comfortable. Next you should make certain that you are well hydrated!
IMG_3539.jpg 2006-10-15

Pumpkin hunting can take a lot out of you, its imperative to replenish your liquids.
IMG_3548.jpg 2006-10-15

cool shades? CHECK.
IMG_3347.jpg 2006-10-15

Ok! You're ready to go! Just roll up your sleeves and get to it!
IMG_3409.jpg 2006-10-15

Here's Gary taking this business very seriously... and William not.
IMG_3351.jpg 2006-10-15

Gary realizes that William is not taking this serriously...
IMG_3353.jpg 2006-10-15

If you spread out, you're sure to cover more ground.
IMG_3359.jpg 2006-10-15

Once you spy a pumpkin that you like...
IMG_3391.jpg 2006-10-15

Take a few moments to observe your pumpkin in its natural habitat
IMG_3392.jpg 2006-10-15

When you are ready, approach the pumpkin with caution.
IMG_3378.jpg 2006-10-15

You should be sure to observe your pumpkin from all sides.
IMG_3390.jpg 2006-10-15

i mean from all angles
IMG_3382.jpg 2006-10-15

You should look for smoothness of the surface, clarity of lines, continuity of color.
IMG_3385.jpg 2006-10-15

examine the surface carefully for flaws and 'growing pains'
IMG_3377.jpg 2006-10-15

look reeaal close
IMG_3380.jpg 2006-10-15

IMG_3393.jpg
IMG_3393.jpg 2006-10-15

Use of special pumpkin retrieving dogs is a commonly used technique
IMG_3420.jpg 2006-10-15

these highly trained sniffers can spot the best specimens, although they need assistance in the actual retrieving part
IMG_3422.jpg 2006-10-15

This one looks good Mom!
IMG_3360.jpg 2006-10-15

Ok, so its not exactly a pumpkin... but it comes with this little fuzzy crawly thing!
IMG_3370.jpg 2006-10-15

Mom! That lady was trying to take your pumpkin!
IMG_3375.jpg 2006-10-15

Sometimes the competition can be tough... if you really like the pumpkin, you must be prepared to fight for it!
IMG_3357.jpg 2006-10-15

Looks like Mathew won!
IMG_3355.jpg 2006-10-15

Be sure to lift with your knees!
IMG_3356.jpg 2006-10-15

William labors under the weight of Mathew's decision.
IMG_3395.jpg 2006-10-15

i said LIFT WITH YOUR KNEES!
IMG_3358.jpg 2006-10-15

Listen to it carefully, and you can hear the ocean! er... something.
IMG_3368.jpg 2006-10-15

Check to see if your pumpkin passes the Fonz test.
IMG_3365.jpg 2006-10-15

Its also useful if your pumpkin is the approximate size of your head. Just in case...
IMG_3366.jpg 2006-10-15

Yup! This one is a good proxy!
IMG_3367.jpg 2006-10-15

Be proud of your pumpkin choice! Show it to your friends.
IMG_3424.jpg 2006-10-15

Love your pumpkin. Just not too much.
IMG_3369.jpg 2006-10-15

Having a designated pumpkin guard is useful when you want to do a final sweep to be certain that you've chosen the right
IMG_3403.jpg 2006-10-15

that one looks ok...
IMG_3406.jpg 2006-10-15

what do you think?
IMG_3407.jpg 2006-10-15

i'm looking for a second opinino here...
IMG_3408.jpg 2006-10-15

hmm...
IMG_3418.jpg 2006-10-15

i like it
IMG_3412.jpg 2006-10-15

i like it alot!
IMG_3411.jpg 2006-10-15

a little dirty, but loveable
IMG_3413.jpg 2006-10-15

my punkin!
IMG_3417.jpg 2006-10-15

NO, you can't have it!
IMG_3414.jpg 2006-10-15

The final test is to be sure that the pumpkin plays well with others.
IMG_3404.jpg 2006-10-15

You should make sure that the size and shape does not duplicate other pumpkins that will be displayed in the same vacini
IMG_3405.jpg 2006-10-15

WARNING: Taking cameras and cute dogs on pumpkin hunts can lead to failure to secure a pumpkin due to the constant inter
IMG_3426.jpg 2006-10-15

still, it seems they had a good time.
IMG_3427.jpg 2006-10-15

Be sure your tables and seat backs are in the upright position.
IMG_3432.jpg 2006-10-15

So? Did we have fun?
IMG_3429.jpg 2006-10-15

Secure your pumpkins safely. Be careful when removing your pumpkin as they tend to shift during tractor ride.
IMG_3428.jpg 2006-10-15

Mathew is having second thoughts about his choice of pumpkins. This is a common experience after a thorough pumpkin hunt
IMG_3437.jpg 2006-10-15

Mathew is eyeing my pumpkin
IMG_3436.jpg 2006-10-15

Gary is totally unaware of his mischevious intentions...
IMG_3435.jpg 2006-10-15

Perhpas now a little suspicious!
IMG_3434.jpg 2006-10-15

Mr. Punkin' Head
IMG_3438.jpg 2006-10-15

Pay for your pumpkin or you'll get caught by the pumpkin police!
IMG_3441.jpg 2006-10-15

Some people need help with their pumpkin selections. Be sure you secure your own pumpkin safely before assisting those a
IMG_3443.jpg 2006-10-15

Not a technique i recommend with a real cow.
IMG_3448.jpg 2006-10-15

I wonder who's watching thier pumpkins...

Let's see if this camera works, shall we?

Gary & the Cork
Gary's first pose for the new camera...

Gary's Faces
The inquisitive look.

Gary's Faces
The "look into my eyes..." look

Gary's Faces
The "look at me!" look.

Gary's Faces
The "i can't keep a straight face!" look.

Gary's Faces
The "i'm watching you" look.

Gary's Faces
The "eyeball" look

Gary shows off.

Dancin'
Gary let me practice photographing drunk people dancing at receptions, etc.

Kristi's Faces
Put that camera down. NOW. I MEAN IT.

Kristi's Faces
Ok, ok. Now, put the camera down please?

Barbed
Fence in the backyard...

Hay
The hay in this field was cut yesterday, but its been really hot...

Tractor
So we guess its time to bale it already!

Look! Hay circles!

Pastures
of plenty... of hay.

Bye bye tractor
The tractor disapears back over the hill.

Gary pontificates...
If we only knew what was going on behind those eyes. Perhaps we'll never know.

Frascatti
OK! The camera works.

Wine
The defining characteristic of a good camera. Can capture condensation... check.

Light Bubbles
The fine effervescence of an Italian summer wine...
Robin Hood
