Chicago Marathon 2011

Interesting picture from the 2011 Chicago Marathon.  The effort, determination and conditioning of the wheel chair athletes is totally amazing.  This pan is shot at 1/50s, 170mm, f5 and ISO 1600.

Hilton Head, SC

Very first attempt at writing a blog, and trying to get this template to cooperate with photos is challenging to say the least.  These photos are from a trip we took to Hilton Head, SC in August of 2011.  Weather was perfect with the exception of a Storm (photo below) that very quickly blew across the Island on our first evening.  Played golf at the Arthur Hills course and at the famous Harbour Town course, both were extremely enjoyable and would look forward to playing them again.

Dining experiences were very spotty, with one exception being Marc Anthony's.  If you can only go to one restaurant this is has to be it.
