My favorite subject to photograph...

Hey everyone,

This was taken at a place for kids called BOUNCE-U in Annville PA. The place is an old hanger that was converted and has HUGE bounce slides, courses, you name it. Great place to take a kid if you need to wear him down for a nap. Very reasonably priced as well. This was Wyatt's first visit and as you can tell, he loved every minute. I just upgraded to the D3000 for Nikon and was practicing with it here.

Have a great day!

Lebanon Structure Fire...

Hey Everyone,

Here are some more photos from the fire in Lebanon County. The first two are apparatus shots that I took as I was leaving. The 3rd photo was an overall scene shot and the last two are firefighters opening up the wall to find hidden fire and to extinguish it.

I've never intended for this to become a Emergency Services Photo Blog so to speak. My goal as Brad Myers has stated on his posts, is not to glorify the diaster or emergency but to show the general public the dangers and hazards the FD faces on a daily basis.

One of these days I will get out and shoot some new stuff, but I do appreciate those that visit and follow my blog or leave comments.

Have a great day!
