introducing the roaming red rocker



some of you may remember a little series i did called "the roaming yaris". well, turns out she wasn't really a country girl, so my brother adopted her, and now she's in the city where she belongs. (i bought a truck).

so now, i have started a new series called "the roaming red rocker". i wanted the first shot to be a killer, so this is what i came up with. unfortunately, i will be leaving for the coast shortly, so the series will start in earnest next spring. this is my choice for the 'teaser'. let me know if you agree, or if you like any of the others.

rock on! roaming red rocker.......

Hey, Doug.
Fantastic shots! In fact, I actually said "WOW!" out loud when I saw the first one. Love the red rocker idea. Looks like a real winner. Can't wait for the rest of the series.

ps: cheering for Sask tonight!

These pictures truly show the vastness and beauty of the prairie sky-you are doing what you were born to do obviously-and doing it well. cw

I'm new to your blog and loving it! You're a great inspiration. I share your passion for photography and live in a town called Oxbow (southeast Sask). Your work is truly amazing!

She said, how does he do that?? She thought the "chair was floating on water" Whose chair is that anyway? We both really like the effect it is highly cool...

hey larry, i bought this chair at your favorite store in minot (the place were 'everyone knows your name'). the red stain was my idea. like one of my friends said, the red rocker is on thin ice.

Heart break in the Grey Cup... but love in the roaming red rocker.

Looking good Doug,

Sorry I missed them before the game but they did help cheer me up after the game. I really like the idea of the red chair.

"Sold the Yaris, bought a Rocker!
And its off to Wet BC i go
for to wait out old man winter
I'll be back af-ter the snow."

sung to the tune of Clementine.


I hope you remembered to take it off the lake or else someone will put Christmas lights on it and start ice fishing off it.
i vote for two as it is challenging you to come out onto the ice for a dance..... or a swim.
Nice work..

great shots great idea i"m glad we bought it in Minot last summer. the seeds of this idea were probably planted in the Alien bar and grill. No that was the meat slicer idea. love the photos, take it to Palm Springs jh

HA! steve... i knew you were going there with the xmas lights/fishing theme. and just so you know, that's my next idea... i think it might be a 'winner' (remember the award thing)? any ways, thxs for the comments / you're a funny guy (for a CEO). this is when the blog thing is fun... dw

keep checking in.

hey JH, man, who would have thought guys are age would hang at the alien bar and grill? guess because it was in the mall parking lot. at the time, the roaming red rocker was nothing but pieces of wood in a box in the back of a truck. what were we drinkin'? errr 'thinking'
