Roaming Reg Rocker arrives at winter home..........

the RRR tour finally arrived in havasu... so here is one last route 66 muse.. there were 2 staff ladies out front having a smoke.. i hoped they would stay for the shot... but they laughed, and said maybe not....

Heads up!!!... on Route 66

i came across this location driving back from the 'snow shoot' route 66/holbrook az

Welcome to Arizona! a peek of the country side around Holbrook AZ (my sleep over stop).

skies clearing ..... back on the road in the am. buckaroo baby!

snow day for the Roaming Red Rocker. went back to the Blue Swallow Motel, and shot a portrait with the '51 Chieftain Catalina Pontiac. thxs to owners Kevin & Nancy for letting us roam the property..

The road ended in Tucumacari New Mexico. Had the chance to take a shot of a classic route 66 motel. Here is a brief description, but google it...."The Blue Swallow Motel was built in 1939 by W. A. Huggins. It features a unique, personal shell design on the exterior stucco. Garages, a signature of motor courts of the era, are another unique characteristic of this motel".

stormed stayed in kansas / decided to take this shot of main street. the following from the local archive.. "Known as the "Waldorf of the Prairies," the hotel became headquarters for heads of wealthy cattle firms before the turn of the century. "It's spacious corridors and spindled patios were constantly thronged with booted and spurred cowmen. Cattle deals amounting to millions of dollars have been transacted over the long table in the great inner court."

heading south through Nebraska...

This is the web site for Emerald Canyon Golf Course / AZ / photographed last spring... nice design by Arcus.

I took the back roads home from the city today / wanted to check out this location.

The Bekevar Church is a Municipal Heritage Property located within the Rural Municipality of Hazelwood No. 94, approximately nine kilometres southeast of the Town of Kipling. The property features a large, wood-frame church with twin spires, built in 1911, an iron gate adorning the property's entranceway, and a cemetery, all surrounded by landscaped, treed grounds.

RIP John Neville. in the mid 80's, I got my first big break as an emerging photographer. assigned by Saturday Night Magazine, to shoot a portrait of John Neville, artistic director of the Stratford Festival. I rented a car, picked up a fellow photographer friend who agreed to assist me, and layed rubber from Toronto to Stratford. We set up in Mr. Neville's house, and got the shot. oh... and BTW....... I showed up about 1/2 hour late... I have never been late for a shoot since...

working title for the Roaming Red Rocker's new collection....

well..... it had to happen sooner or later. the Roaming Red Rocker gets out to enjoy the first real snow fall of the year.

The Roaming Red Rocker checked out the flooding in the souris valley at Ray's Park. Waters are rising..........

The Roaming Red Rocker wanted to shoot an album cover. Turns out, there is no title (or songs, come to think of it). Does anyone have a suggestion???

The Roaming Red Rocker kicks back in and around Moab, Utah.

my take on the boat show held in downtown havasu. lots of million $ boats and rigs... overheard one father ask his son "you want a boat, or do you want a house?"

one should always have a camera on the golf course......
