Motocross...

Honestly I am not sure what it is called and I suppose I should have asked, but I didn't think about it. I went into town today for our tax appointment and on the way back I noticed that the motocross track was alive with action. So I decided to get off the freeway, the track is right next to the freeway, and see what I could see. Once I finally figured it out how to get there and got to the track I was greeted by a nice young lady who had me sign a little piece of paper saying if I was killed while there it isn't their fault! Anyway they have a few bleachers setup so I was able to see over the fence and I took about 270 shots for the 20 minutes or so that I was there. It was REALLY cool and I think something that I could really get into photographing. I am not sure if there is a market for it but it was fun to shoot. The field was just open for practice and I am not sure when a real race is schedule. All I do know is that it seems like EVERY TIME that I drive by the track is going. The full series can be found here!

Well the tax appointment went better than I expected considering what the numbers were I think I will stick with this tax group for a while. I had considered doing standard deductions this year and figured out the numbers if I did it that way. I figured I would get back a bit more, enough to cover the processing fee, and some extra but man their numbers blew me away. I think I will just stick with paying them to do it, drinking their coffee, and having a cookie (although this time I skipped the cookie).

I also talked to them about the potential of setting up a small photography business. It sounds like it might be something interesting to do and would be a way to leverage the cost of the equipment but I am holding off right now. If I can get some stuff rolling this year I could easily turn it into a real business though.
