2008 Balloon Rush Hour Race : I had the pleasure of being a passenger in this year's Kentucky Derby Festival Balloon Rush Hour Race. My pilot was Don Conner and our balloon was named the King Southern Bank. Conner, one of Louisville's first balloonists, used his 30-years of flying experience to make the flight problem-free and very enjoyable. The images I captured are from a flight path that began at the Fairgrounds and drifted northeast over: Germantown, the Highlands, Clifton, Butchertown, the Ohio River, and landed in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Best for me, is that I floated over my own neighborhood and photographed the houses of several friends, including my own. The race, which is actually more of a game, is to land a small sandbag on or as close to a designated "X" spot that the hare balloon places at an unannounced location. The results were not available at the time of this gallery launch.

2007/133rd Kentucky Oaks/Derby (Horses) : Armed with my newly acquired Canon 5D, a 20mm lens, and a 28-200mm lens, I fired away from the rooftops and beyond of Churchill Downs, and captured my 10th Derby (2nd as a credentialed photojournalist.)

2005/131st Kentucky Derby : 05/07/05: Alone, I decided to stake-out Infield Entrance Gate #3 at Churchill Downs. The crowds swelled about every twenty minutes during the two hours I shot. Public drunkeness was tolerated by local authorities and the National Guard, but fighting would bring their wrath quickly. The true drama of the day arrived when a religous fundamentalist group began demonstrating at the corner of 4th & Central. Police kept watch as arguments heated and profanities echoed. My favorite pics of this gallery are the arguments reflected in the participants sunglasses.
