I get high with a little help from my friends....

I had a commercial job this past week that required a little bit higher of an angle than my 5'11" stature could handle.

The folks over at La Plata Mill hooked me up with an ingenious piece of equipment. This lift can get you 40 feet off the ground. The amazing thing about this nearly 400 lb piece of equipment is that you can load it into and out of a pick up truck by yourself! It's a brilliant piece of engineering.

I can tell you that from the platform of this lift, when completely raised, is a hair raising experience! 40 feet seems much higher when you're the guy on the platform. It also sways a bit in the wind, just to add to the excitement. The guys over at La Plata Mill said all I needed was a pick up truck and the ability to not look down and they could get me up in the air. There's no truer statement.

Here's a shameless plug for the folks at LP Mill. 213 Kent Ave in the heart of La Plata  301-934-8161 (and yes I paid for the rental of the lift. I just appreciate good customer service)

Back in the dog days of summer I had the privilege of photographing some very special ladies at Regency Furniture Stadium. Pulling off a shot like this takes team work! Civista team members Tina, Amy and Joyce were instrumental in helping me get the shot! And of course the pink ladies! I couldn't have done it without you!
