Photos of 2008 Galleries

Eagles of the Mississippi River - 2008 : These eagles were found on the Mississippi River near Burlington, Iowa. They congregate near the open waters of Lock & Dam #18. The river north of this dam is frozen over, so the eagles migrate from the North to here so they can fish. There were HUNDREDS of eagles in this area, and the scene was almost surreal, as there were ALWAYS multiple eagles in the air searching for a fish to swoop down and pick up.

I co-sponsored Brittany Haley (contestant #44). These photos are presented in the chronological order taken.

Ed's Fancy Cars : I had the honor of visiting my friend Ed's private car collection. The building that I toured contained about 100 of his autos, but there are currently about 200 autos in his collection. This is an amazing collection of autos. I hestiate to add any descriptions to any individual photo, as I would surely get taken to task on any in-accuracy. When I am able to collabrate with an auto expert, I will add appropriate descriptions. I look forward to a return visit to this collection to photograph more of his collection. I am told that there will be another building soon with more of his collection on display. I look forward to seeing this.
