It's Been A LONG Time!

Wow! Has it been a long time since I have posted here. Things have been really busy shooting and working fire. We have been finishing the hospitals fire alarm. This consists of testing every device in the new hospital. I have learned a ton about smoke detectors, duct detectors, smoke evac systems, dampers, fire shutters, you name it.... this building has got it!

We also had an opportunity to venture in a new direction, photographically. We recently photographed the Farmington Hills Fire Department. We had a lot of fun doing this and hope to return in a couple of years. We are also talking with a couple of other departments, keep your fingers crossed.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I have a lot to be thankful for this year, my lovely wife, family, friends, job and good health. I am also thankful to have friends and family that were not able to be with us this year. You will always be missed.

Now, how about those Lions......... Not only do we get to see them lose every week, we always seem to get to see the back side of the half-time shows. Not my idea of a backstage pass!

Crazy Times!!

Wow! It has been A crazy couple of months. I have been assigned to Fire Prevention for at least 7 months. I Love It!!! I just am not used to going to work every day. After working 24 hour shifts for 12 years it has been a shock to my system.

The photography side of things has stepped up big time too. I have shot several weddings this fall with Double Exposure. It has been a lot of fun, Thanks Denny!

Below are some pictures from a couple of weddings.

2008 Frankenmuth Fire Muster














































Saturday was the annual GLIAFAA Muster in Frankenmuth, MI. The weather was great! This year the number of trucks were down but the wedding parties were up! A wedding party came down to Heritage Park for some photos and before they new what hit them, they were posing on fire trucks! It was wonderful to spend time with good friends.....
