I Need Your Help

http://www.ashtonsd60.com/gallery.aspx#/?category=all&sort=myPhotos&page=1&image=4576

Here is the link to one of the pictures I submitted for a contest on Nikon's Web site. The more views, the better chance I have of winning. PLEASE send this link to everyone you know and have them take a look. If I make the top 120 (which will be a miracle) then voting starts on Wednesday. I really appreciate your help. Thanks guys. Let me know if you have any problems seeing the link.

If everyone views each picture (there are three) 10 times, I should have a good shot of getting in. Thanks guys!

A Tall Tale

There are a lot of professional athletes out there I have always wanted to meet. Topping the list are Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, LeBron James, Shaquille O'neil, and Lisa Leslie, to name a few. Then there are athletes you meet randomly, which can be just as exciting because they are just that, random.  Well yesterday I met ex-Utah Jazz center Mark Eaton after a motivational speaking engagement where he spoke about his journey from 21-year-old auto mechanic to playing 12 years of professional basketball. Honestly, I didn't want to be one of those annoying fans, but after most of the employees left, I took the opportunity to get a photo.  If you can't tell, the guy is ginormous! He is listed at 7'4" and he is every bit of it, no joke.  But he is a really personable guy, very accommodating and even was cool when I told him I was glad he wasn't playing anymore because I was a Portland Trailblazer fan! Gotta love it. Well, since Mark Eaton was never on the list, I guess I need to do a little revising.  Maybe I should add Dikembe Mutombo as well, except he would be impossible to understand and it would be tough to get his attention, seeing as how he has like 20 kids! 

Oh, and by the way, if you believed for one second that I would put a WNBA player on my list of top pro athletes to meet, you are smoking something my friend...that will NEVER happen!

My Visit with Coby

I go out of town for a day and what happens?...my little nephew Coby is born!  I'm always missing the cool stuff.  Anyway, tonight I went by the hospital to visit with my brother's family and meet Coby for the first time and thought I would share some pictures with everyone.  He is really a cute kid.  Surprising, considering the parents! Enjoy the pictures.
