Day 273 Sam Meets The Water Jet Cutters

Day 273
copyright 2013 polkadot magpie
Sam, don't touch that button! 
Sam was warmly welcomed by our water jet cutting team in Albuquerque.  Michael, and TJ had their shot list all ready. Here she stands at the controls.  I love the eerie lighting produced by the sodium lights above.

She had to wear protective ear muffs. Proud to have a shirt with their logo. She almost felt like one of the boys.

TJ gives Sam a little squeeze in front of some Rhino Board that they sell for water jet cutters.  It's an amazingly strong material that sits under the material they are cutting.  It is a honeycomb, and water falls through it.

Sam loooooved driving the fork lift. Michael and TJ even machined a rod that fits in her stand so she can sit.  They are amazing machinists.  If you need water jet cutting done, here's their website:

We will have more tomorrow, as there were so many great shots.  Thanks TJ and Michael, you rock!

Each day is a gift, open now.

When in Denver we went to shoot something in this location.  As soon as I saw this carved into this cement wall....I knew this would be Sam's tagline.  Ghandi was credited for the saying.  What would you do if today was your last day?

Day 270 What, Halloween???

Day 270
Last week I shot some Halloween photos of Sam's 3 new friends for October publications.  I borrowed a ton of Halloween decorations from my neighbor. Pulled some things from my stash to create a front door Halloween scene. My sweet neighbor's kids came dressed to my door in costume for trick and treating (it was 95 degrees when they came!).

Typical New Mexico weather brought a brief wind storm that blew decorations all over the place.  I wanted night shots, and only was able to get one. Sam loved dressing up, as she always does. I was setting up this shot in the dark. Our dog sat on the front porch watching me hang the 3 skellies in a tree in our front yard.  I brought one of my photo lights out on it's tripod stand.  Grabbed my tripod and camera and plugged in the photo light.  I didn't realize there was a couple walking down the street. When the light turned on the 3 hanging skeletons it scared the you know what out of them!  Loud gasps could be heard, and I could hear their pace quickening. They certainly were not expecting a spot light to turn on, and to see 3 skeletons hanging in a tree in mid August.  Happy Halloween.
