Shoot! the Day

It's been a FUN week...as a stock photographer for http://www.photoshelter.com/, I've gathered 8 other shooters from the Reno area to compete against hundreds of other cities for cash and prizes. The First prize is a sponsered shoot in our town for a major Company! We've been in the top 10 groups all week, and we're having a blast! Check out some of the images here:

National Wakeboard Finals 2008 Sparks Marina

Karla Bowman Retires from SRUMC

Hearing Karla preach for the last time brought mixed feelings, as we all were thrilled for her new life of retirement, but sad that she will no longer be our pastor. Not only do Karla and I share the same birthday (May 21), but we also share the same name....you did know that Chang is the Chinese word for "Archer", didn't you?

John McCain in Reno May 2008

One of the best things about being a photographer is getting the opportunity to see and shoot people that other's may not be able to. Getting to see Presidential Candidate John McCain up close and personal was one such opportunity. More photos at my website:

Marian & I were invited to a very special Birthday for longtime client and friend Keith Parkyn. Tomorrow (April 10) he celebrates his 70th birthday, but last Sunday, his family (Wife Chris, 2 sons & 7 daughters) were able to pull off a complete surprise party for him at the Peppermill. You can view images of his party here: www.dePICtionsbydon.com/events. p.s. this birthday is of special significance, because Keith is a cancer survivor.
