Gotta say, I'll take Pee Wee baseball over the real thing any day of the week.

Montana Horse Drive – An End to a Cowboy Tradition
I recently spent about a week completing an assignment for Reuters in Montana covering the Mantle family’s last horse drive. I also wrote the story that moved with the package. These folks are the one’s that supply the trail horses to the guides and outfitters in Yellowstone National Park and many dude ranches in the west. They are selling their horse ranch and transitioning to cattle. Not as romantic but much more profitable.
I would appreciate any feedback if you would like to take the time.
The full focus gallery can be found here.
The blog I wrote can be found here.
Cheers!

The Mantle family, who own Montana Horses are holding their last horse drive that they have invited the public to witness for the last 11 years. Approximately 300 horses are rounded up and driven 35 miles from their winter range to the Mantle ranch. The horses are later picked up by leasers to be used as pack and trail horses at dude ranches and national parks. REUTERS/Jim Urquhart (United States)

How do you do?
We’ve had this assignment every year for as long as I can remember and there is always at least one photo that is just a little different from the previous year. This one made me laugh.
Mike Caldwell
Ogden Mayor Mike Caldwell poses for a portrait with his dog, Roubaix, named after a cycling race in France, on a trail in Ogden during his morning workout.
The WSJ wanted to do a story on Mike’s workout/lifestyle, so I followed him around mountain biking for a few hours. Nice guy. I like this portrait a lot.
Katy Andrews Steeplechase Crash
This doesn’t happen very often, I got both photos and video of this crazy crash last weekend.

If things don't turn out during the playoffs maybe Raja Bell of the Utah Jazz can try out for RSL.
