Cody had a 1/2 day today and was putting in an hour on the bike

Ryan was more interested in seeing if any snakes or tadpoles were out now that spring is getting close:p

[Pappy]

I had to get some shots on some new models today, and while i was there I grabbed a few pics of some of the new bikes ready for sale.

Cody loves going here, they have a zillion KTM's ...these are just the ones up stairs:p

pappy your pics are always so nice, i enjoy browsing your photography!

[ZWILLETT47]

nice pics pappy

[Pappy]

Today was yucky. We were going to go race, but they were calling for snow and rain, then maybe go to BPG but again, snow and rain was forecasted.

Well, we did not end up doing jack spit, so we had some new meats put on codys 85.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2290/2353194428_03d457abaa_o.jpg
With better bite, he wanted to play on the backside of our place where its wetter and way more steep

[Pappy]

The big hill is plenty steep, slick and slick roots just love to reveal themselves. On a 4x4 quad, it usually takes some work to get to the top. Cody went down several times as he tried and tried to do it.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2055/2352374343_e3331b1c43_o.jpg

He learned how to get back up, turn it around on a steep hill and hit it again:p

[my88r]

pap, how much land do you own??

[klutch]

That's so sick lol. You guys did a great job on that Raptor too. Great pics.

Also, i've been needing to ask you this... what would you recomend as a good camera for a beginner as i would like to get into photography but have no clue where to start.

Thanks, Damian.

[Pappy]

13 acres here

[Pappy]

depends on your budget.

a great carry camera is the canon G9 (could be G5, i dont use canon)

a digital slr is a good starting point, D80 nikon etc

[klutch]

Thanks will look into those.

[Pappy]

you should see the good shots for the articles:devil: these are seconds:cool:

[fastredrider44]

Pappy, I clicked on your race picture link, and it says the pictures have been removed when I try to click on a thumbnail. Interested because I saw a couple of myself on there. Also, are you a photographer for a company or do you stand alone. The set up and angles looked similar to another picture site, but the photos were different.

[Pappy]

I just checked the link and it worked fine for me. I havent deleted any events from that site so the images should be there.

I do not work with any other site or company other then myself and atvriders.com. you may see my shots in magazines and all over the web, but the only place to get the originals is from me.

[fastredrider44]

Pappy, ALL of your pics are incredible. Anyway, I clicked on your race pictures link, looked at the pics of my from the Florida am quads but can't click them because it says they've been removed.

[Pappy]

Another person asked about the missing links as well, not sure why myself:p

They should be up and active in our galleries here on the site so if you need one you can get them from there.

I had mixed luck at the last round, the weather really hampered my movement so I did not get as much as I would have liked....and the editors are on me for it:p So I hav to run and gun more but i will still try to squeeze out a few shots that satisfy me instead of everyone else :devil:
