Wolf Creek Ranch Ad Work Begins

As Wolf Creek Ranch 'greens-up' and recovers from winter, I am updating photography and video work to integrate into a fully re-designed website. As the memory cards are filled-up, the raw images are packed-up and FedExed to Chean Long in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Once in Longs hands - Long immediately takes my work product in for, 'media cosmetic surgery'. Color, contrast, resolution, saturation and a whole host of adjustments are made to the images in an attempt to fine-tune my work.

Wild turkey foraging in one of the pastures. Mercifully hidden in the grass are her eight wobbling babies struggling to keep up. Old log & rock cabin in background.

The Southern Pond.


The 450-foot spawning stream with about 800-gallons of water flowing downstream per-minute.
My friends at Eagle Helicopter pay a visit to the ranch to help with aerial photography.

Time with my Beautiful & Wonderful Mom.

How lucky I am. My mother, Catherine Havelock-Massnick, an accomplished commercial artist before I was even born.

I grew-up with both parents being well rewarded artists working on national advertising campaigns for the largest of U.S. industry in it's time.

As I began to grow-up, I could see Mom was the, 'go-getter' and Dad was not.

Fast-forward to today, my Mom continues to be one of the most wonderful and creative persons I know in the world. Here she is and some of her contemporary work and space.
