Hi Friends and Fans of Ray! This is his wife, Rhian Ferrer….
Tuesday morning I found Ray in bed having a seizure (he has never had one before) I brought him to the hospital and he is stable but has a massive baseball sized tumor in/on his brain.  He will be undergoing surgeries, radiation and chemo therapy in the upcoming months.  

I have set up a Go Fund Me page for Ray.

I learned to drive a straight shift on this truck.  She holds a lot of memories for me.  My brother and I used her for our grass cutting business while we were in high school.  We hauled tons of firewood out of the deepest woods that my dad could find.

Everytime I look at her I see the big dent on the front fender.  I laugh now every time I think about what happen.  My brother and I were learning how to drive and it was my turn to drive around the yard.  I got behind the wheel and was arguing with my brother who was outside the truck as I was backing up.  I ran into a power poll that sat dead center of our side yard.  I was so mad and upset.  Dad wasn’t too happy either.

She started leaking oil back before I graduated high school.  A friend of mine decided that we could rebuild her.  I needed the experience anyway so we rebuilt the engine.  We spent about two months working evenings and weekends.  Got her cranked and damn if she didn’t leak worse after we fixed her than before.  Dad took it to a shop and they fixed it right.

It’s been sitting up for several years now.  My brother in law decided he would sand it down and repaint her.  He spent several weekends sanding but never got around to the painting.  That was over ten years ago.  Dad has moved it around the yard via tractor but it hasn’t been cranked in over ten years. She sits rusting away.

365 Day Photo Challenge 25/365 “Glass House”

Good morning everyone!!

This picture was taken at a mall in Chicago.  I went on a trip to Chicago a few years ago with the band while my son was in high school.  Whenever I see this picture I’m reminded that our lives are nothing but a glass house.  No matter how we try to hide from the world people can still see us.  My wife is amazed that whenever we go places, near or far, I always meet up with someone that I know.  Even on my trip to Chicago I met up with someone I knew a few years back.  I always joke around that I always have to be seen doing things that I should be doing otherwise someone I know will see me.

Life Goes On!

I’ve been working on pictures all day today and ran across Miss Laura.  She needed a pick me up after going through some crap in her life so I cut her a good deal on some pictures.  She had never “modeled” before so all this was new to her.  We both had a good time working together.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday.  I Had a photo shoot cancel on me so I’m spending the day going over past photo’s and trying to tweak them for publication.  This is Dana Micael and she’s from Tuscaloosa a college town about forty-five minutes from here. I met here a couple of years ago and was fortunate enough to work with her a couple of hours.

The weather here has finally cleared and the son is shining but wind the temps are a little chilly.  I’m planning on doing some timelapse photography of the sunset if the clouds permit.

Get out and enjoy this weekend if you can.

Life goes on.

A little disappointed tonight as I have just found out the young lady I was to photography tomorrow at Railroad park has to work and will not be able to make it.  The only days she has available for a shoot are the days I’m either booked or have to work.  This is a common problem with trying to work out a photo shoot.  I wished I made enough money at it so I could quit my full time job and be a photographer full time.  I think that we all know that won’t happen at least until I can retire in three years.

Life goes on.

Another dreary, wet day in the deep south.  With the temps hovering in the low to mid forties and low thick clouds that hung around most of the day made this boy wish for spring even more today.  Rain is falling right now and is expected to stick around until early Saturday morning with a chance of light snow before ending.

I have a photo shoot scheduled for Saturday afternoon with a young single mom.  Nothing too fancy just some catalogue work.  I haven’t photographed anyone in quite some time.  Lately all I’ve been able to shoot are some landmarks and my pets.  I hope she isn’t afraid of some cool weather and we get some good shots.

The above photo is from the Botanical Gardens located here in the Birmingham area.  It’s free to enter and has sever genre of flowers and trees to sit and ponder things through.  I really enjoy going there when I have the time to spend.  The last time I was there I nearly had a hawk on top of me.  She was after a squirrel and I got in her way.
