One week later I've finally recovered from the Amazing Overtime Victory of the Jayhawks in the NCAA Championship Game...Rock Chalk Jayhawk GO KU!!!!
Tomorrow I head down to Dallas for the Ronnie Coleman Classic on April 19th and then the Shredder in Austin, Tx. the following weekend!  I'm sure it'll be a great trip and they have the best beff jerky and shiner bock!  I hope to see all my Texas friends soon!!

I'm off to Dallas tomorrow to cover the Europa Super Show and end my 6 straight weeks of shooting shows.  KC, NY, Pittsburgh, Vegas, Jacksonville, and now Dallas....I need alot of beer and sleep....in that order!!!!
If anyone is planning on competing or attending the Europa and wants to line up a shoot let me know and we can try set something up!  If anyone is planning on partying in BIG-D let me and we can drink!!!
Wish me luck!!!

p,s. Next stop Cleveland for the North Americans!!!!

I'm back from the Jr USA's, great show and lots of outstanding competitors.  I shot over 5000 pics for MD, go on their website to check them all out, and worked with alot of great competitors.  Congrats to Tammy P for the overall FBB win, Tracey T for winning and a tough LH class, and Krissy Chin for having the most pro-ready physique on the figure stage last weekend!  I'd also like to throw props to all the great new people I met and worked with, I had a blast and hope everyone likes the pics!
 
Now for something completely different....the Charleston Airport Sucks!  I get ready to head home Monday afternoon and get bumped from my flight.  Now you figure you book a flight 5 weeks in advance and you'd have a seat....Not in Charleston.....first come first serve, and I was almost 45 minutes early for the flight.

Then I wait 3 hours for the flight I was bumped too and it gets cancelled so I get to stay an extra day in Charleston, my luggage didn't, it was on the way to KC, but I got to stay!  I finally get to my hotel around 8 pm and try and salvage the evening..

The next day at 5:30 am I'm in the lobby ready to catch the 6 am shuttle to the airport.  By 6:00 am another 15 people were also waiting for the one shuttle with 12 seats.  Now I wasn't worried because I had reserved the shuttle the night before and I knew alot of the others hadn't.  But because they were all in grounps I was the Odd-Man-Out and once again was bumped, but this time from a shuttle!

The next shuttle got me to the airport with 30 minutes to spare but in Charleston you better get there 50 minutes early because I was bumped, again!  Now I had a 4 hour wait in an airport that doesn't even open till 9 am.  Needless to say I finally got on my plane, found my luggage in KC, and got home around 8pm Tuesday night.

Moral to this story, drive to Charleston!!!

p.s. My phone got wet in Chaleston and now I'm borrowing Mary Hobb's pink Razor!!!

So I don't know my Southern cities....Like a lot of you have told me, I'm going to Charleston for Jr USA's April 28th!  If you're interested in lining up a shoot drop me a line and we'll try and set something up.  I'm getting ready for my trip to Houston, La., wish me luck!

Just got the word from Muscular Development and it looks like they're going to have me cover all the big shows for them this year.  The first two that I'll be at are the Ronnie Coleman Show in Dallas on April 21st and then the Jr USA's in Charolette on April 28th.  If you're planning on competing or attending either of these shows let me know and hopefully we can line up a shoot!

I just got back from my trips to Ohio for the Arnold's and South Florida for the Sunshine Classic.....I'm exhausted!  Ohio was great, met a lot of awesome people I've only chatted with here and shot with a ton of great girls!  I think I shot about 4000 pics of the women's Pro Show for MD and then worked with about 35 people so it was NUTZ, but I had fun.
The day I got back from the show I headed down to South Florida and stayed with my good friends Krissy and Troy near Miami.  Shot the Sunshine Classic, competitors in a $45 million mansion, with a Bentley, and with a Vespa....Miami rocks! 
I'm now moving into my new studio so things are Crazy once again.  I will keep you posted on the mayhem.....
DAN....

I escaped from Texas, had to wait till everyone was sleeping and my ankle healed but I'm home!  Word to the wise, don't drink "Old Speckled Hen"Beer,  it will make you go insane!!  Now off to Miami for Nationals and lots of shoots.....wish me luck!
