Maintenance for Adventure Riders

September 15, 2020 by James Pratt

I hosted an adventure rider motorcycle maintenance evening at my shop recently in Edmond. Riders from the area came to talk about maintenance, hear from Bill Dragoo about tools to carry while on the trail, and ask questions about maintenance on their own bikes.

Don’t be like Garmin and suffer from Ransomware

July 29, 2020 by James Pratt

As a tech-head, I was an early adopter of GPS technology while flying airplanes and soon had Garmin avionics installed in my airplanes. Later I had them on my motorcycles and cars, and still […]

312.5 miles running in one month

June 3, 2020 by James Pratt

OK Living Cover May 2020

Before the COVID-19 pandemic I toted my white background and lighting gear to Central Electric Cooperative in Stillwater for a cover shoot for Oklahoma Living Magazine. These usually require a fair amount of work, since I have to take an 11′ roll of white paper with me, plus all the gear to hold the paper […]

Oklahoma Living April 2020 Cover and Feature Story

I always love assignments from Oklahoma Living Magazine. Most are centered around people, and I love photographing people.

Oklahoma Living Magazine September 2019 Cover

I had fun photographing this cover story for Oklahoma Living Magazine, one of my favorite clients.

It was toasty hot, about 98 degrees outside. […]

Goodnight Farms in Chattanooga Oklahoma

In 2017 I photographed a story about Cody Goodnight, co-owner of Goodnight Farms southwest Oklahoma.

During the summer 2017 I took a trip to western Kansas for a long-time client and photographed a couple of stories in the area.

Shawnee Mills for Oklahoma Living Magazine

Had a fun time photographing this story about Shawnee Mills in where else? Shawnee, Oklahoma. I love shooting photos of industrial-type settings and people at work. I worked with one of my favorite writers Hayley Leatherwood on this project. Because of the dust from the flour mill, I had to mount two cameras with lenses […]
