Looks like I finally have my wedding shoot on-line this week. It was just a small wedding for such a big event; The pictures came out much to my liking. Although, I am kicking myself for some of the shots indoors and in the shaded area; With a slight setting change of the flash to rear-flash, I could have improved the shots I had. I also added a few shots to other misc. categories as well as well as well as some shots I took out in the field this week - its easiest to just view the update gallery for 6Jun08 (page 1 & Page 2). I don't have much planned for the next three weeks in the way of new collections, but then again...you know me, I'll find something. Well, this is a quick and painless update this time...wish they were all this way. Less than 50 days til I am leave for Korea, woohoo. Thanks for visiting zephyrspix.com.

Well, So I finally have the newest galleries on-line. We decided to make a second visit to Disney World. About 4 days and 2200 pictures later, I believe ev'ryone was feeling the need for a vacation from the vacation. This collection was overwhelming at first, but I ended up keeping about 1600 of the initial 2200 shot, of which about 700 have been added to on-line galleries. That brought the Disney World 2008 collection up to over 800, so I created sub-galleries for easier viewing. I was impressed with many of the shots that I took. On the third day, I was a bit worried because the mirror was locking up when the shutter was released. I don't know what caused this fluke - but it resolved itself; I need to get it checked out this month as a precautionary measure. Let's see, I also added about 150 other misc pix shot; Last pix from Iraq, Some pix from work & the start of my skydiving pix collection. I will be adding the video for my first skydive to the site shortly. I have my next wedding shoot this weekend, so it should turn out some amazing pictures...stay tuned! That's all for new pictures to the site, I also added a new page called 'about me' (not that many of you don't already know me). I will say, that I actually like the self-portrait of me that I placed on that page which is unusual of me to say. That sums up this update. Whenever I get behind and think I am caught up, I know I am behind again. I just have a few more pics to go thru this month to get caught up. Only about 70+ days til I am leave for Korea, woohoo. Thanks for visiting zephyrspix.com.

Just a quick update, my squadron had a booster club event and looks like I am in charge of the photography for the day. We had a couple of paintball tournaments, our picnic and then the pie-in-the-face event. I ended up a combat photographer during the paintball tournament, trying to grab a few shots without getting shot myself. In the end, I was shot by my team once, the opponents team once and the camera took one as well. The good thing is, I am the owner of Nikon products, so I knew it could handle being shot with a paintball but I wouldn't want it to get shot again, lol. Well, that about does this update, about 75+ pix, oh and about 85+ days til I am leaving for Korea, woohoo. Thanks for visiting zephyrspix.com.

Wassup!! Well, I managed to narrow my Disney World pictures from 800 down to just under 200. Check out the new category of pictures. All I can say is, I totally know where I am taking my kids every year for our summer vacation. If you have ever been there, you would know it is totally worth it; It was my first time visiting DW. It might be kinda slow on the updates for the next couple months as I prepare to leave the states for Korea, so just keep checking back. Thanks for visiting zephyrspix.com.

Well, ev'ryone. The transisition to the new site is complete now. All links have been verified and all pix have been transfered successfully. I will be uploading the final batch of pix from Iraq later. I spent part of my R & R time with my family at Disney World for three days, so needless to say, I have nearly 800 pix to sort thru for the site. Stay tuned!!! I see today is Valentines Day. Here's a big shout out to a special lady - you know who you are - HAPPY VALENTINES DAY, MUAAAHHH. N-E-way, guess that's all for this update. Check back to see the newest additions to my portfolio. Thanks for visiting zephyrspix.com.

78 new 'muy excelente' pictures have been added this week; probably the last big batch til I come home for a couple of months and prepare for my Korea assignment. I am still working on the transition from my old host to this one, so bear with me. Thanks for visiting zephyrspix.com.

Whassup ev'ryone. Yeah, I am working christmas day so ev'ryone else can have the day off. I don't have many pictures to add this week, just a few holiday pix and pix of friends. Not too much else to say, I died get a chance to briefly see one the palces this week - Al-Faw Palace. Hopefully, I can have a more thorough tour after the new year and maybe get a few more pictures of the palace. Well, that's all I have to add. Thanks for visiting Elite Storm Chasers.com.

I have just under 100 pictures to the Iraq section since my last upload. Now that I am working with Public Affairs, I have had the opportunity to help out with local events like the Sather Idol (like the American Idol) and the Sather Cup, which was an all day Soccer Tournament with a total of 10 games. I was only able to cover 7 of them but proved some well shot photos, I think. I have a couple more events lined up on the calender, so look forward to additional photos later this month. Thanks for visiting Elite Storm Chasers.com.

I have added over 100 pictures to the Iraq section since last month. I have enrolled in a Salsa class here, so I am taking pictures from there as well. I am now working with Public Affairs and will be taking pictures around Sather from events and going-ons as well. I will make every attempt to keep the updates more frequent. Again, I hope you enjoy the newest pictures to the site as well as the site enhancements. Thanks for visiting Elite Storm Chasers.com.

I have made some major improvements to the gallery section of the site using a layout from Simple Viewer. I don't think many will have compatibility issues. You can click on the left or right arrow of the displayed picture to move forward or backwards. You can also use the scrolling wheel on your mouse to scroll the pictures in the gallery. I have also added blurps on many more of the pictures. I have also added several more categories of pictures that I have just not got around to adding in the past. I am currently deployed to Iraq, so there is a brand new category for pix that I have shot over here. There's alot over here that I am not able to take pictures of for security reasons, but the ones I have been able to shoot came out pretty descent. I still have 3 more months here, so I plan on expanding the Iraq section. That about sums up this update session. Again, I hope you enjoy the newest pictures to the site as well as the site enhancements. Once again thanks for visiting Elite Storm Chasers.com.

I added a few pictures to the misc-friends, special events as well as fixed a handfull of bad links in the picture categories. I have started to add info to the pix. I also had to adjust the dimensions on a few of the newly uploaded pix. I am currently back at Sheppard (Wichita Falls, TX), so I will have a few more to add to that category when I get back. I have also bought a few more pieces of camera equipment. I hope you enjoy the newest pictures to the site and once again thanks for visiting Elite Storm Chasers.com.

Well, I could say how busy I have been for the last... Whoa... heh... 18 months but you get the idea from previous entries. I will apoligize up front for length of time since the last update. Anyway, on to the update info. I have changed the look of the site, again. I decided to take off the thumbnail / list. I would add a message board to allow visitors to comment on if they liked or didn't care for the feature but I'm fed up with junk on my msg boards. I guess in the mean time, if you actually liked that feature and would like it back - you could send me a courtesy email, and I'll add it back. I also re-categorized the pictures. I had to sort thru about 1500 newly taken pictures to filter the better ones to upload. I narrowed it down to just above 200 or so. Don't quote me - but I am trying to add some info on the pictures themselves. I think that sums it up. I'm still tweaking it this week some. I hope you enjoy the new selection of pix and once again thanks for visiting Elite Storm Chasers.com.

I have been so busy lately with my classes that I haven't been able to really do anything with the site. I have added 2 separate links on the pictures page to allow you to choose between viewing the photos as either thumbnails or a list for those of you with fairly slow internet connections. BTW, I have finally gone digital. I went and spent the well of $3,000 on digital camera equipment. I will now be using a Nikon D70 with an 18-80mm, 100-400mm and a 650-1300mm lens for shooting. I finish with my classes early May and I plan to go back to my favorite wolf preservation with my new equipment and hopefully turn out a new breed of pictures (at least for me). Shortly thereafter, expect to see a flood of new pictures. We'll see how that goes then. Check back later for updates and Thanks for visiting ELITE STORM CHASERS.COM

Wow, It has finally happened. My sub-domain server has finally gone 6 feet under. As you can see, I have now upgraded to an actual .com. The site should be fully operational as of today. I am still in the process of transferring everything over to this new site. If you find any errors on this site, PLEASE let me know via email so that I can start improving the site faster. Anyway, Thanx for checking out ELITE STORM CHASERS.COM and hope you have a nice stay.
