EAW XX


This is the first post of hopefully a couple. I got back a few days ago from the Eddie Adams Barnstorm. It was incredible. Here is a picture of some cows from the dairy farm, I spent the majority of my time in New York hanging out with these fun-loving creatures. Take it easy for now.

Food!



Here are some shots I took at Lili's Bistro, a very tasty place out in Fort Worth. They let me have the polenta fries, which are the gigantic french fry looking things. Yum. Savor the photos my friends.

Bob Klabzuba


Robert Klabzuba, 89, stands in a map room at Klabzuba Oil and Gas in Fort Worth. Klabzuba, who is a geologist, is the founder of Klabzuba Oil and Gas, and a philanthropist in the Fort Worth area as well.


I had a great time working with Mr. Klabzuba, he explained to me the meaning of all those squiggles you see on geographical surveys, and how to look for possible drilling sites. He also introduced me to the really cool lemonade packets that you just drop into your bottled water. Very tasty, I need to get some. Anyways. I am making my last minute packing things, and then I will be headed out tomorrow evening for New York, where I will spend Friday through Tuesday at the Eddie Adams Workshop. Its going to be intense, but I'm totally pumped and ready to rock. Take it easy!

Joe L. Matthews


I had the chance to hang out with this man, Joe L. Matthews, who is 94 and goes to work every day. Not only does he work at his store however, which specializes in equipment for linemen (guys who work on telephone lines, etc) but he also works out several days a week at a gym near his retirement home. I was noticeable impressed, as he's doing an hour of cardio 3 or more times a week (see below). Makes you want to get in shape huh? Anyways, very cool guy, loved hanging out with him.

8 Over 80



Hey guys,
This is the first man I shot for our 8 over 80 project. Basically what we did is found eight men over the age of eighty that are still out working in their job every day. These men's ages ranged from just over 80 to 96, with many of them going to work every day and the gym as well. This is Don Woodard, he runs an insurance company in Fort Worth, and basically knows something about everything, and is a very gifted poet and writer. Very cool guy to meet. Now that I have internet on my laptop again, I should be able to update my blog more often.
Also, I will be leaving on Thursday to go to the Eddie Adams Barnstorm up in New York. I am incredibly excited, and it will just be a great time to meet people and shoot my self silly. Stay tuned for more, as always.
