I never took many photos in OK, though. For some reason I just didn't spend much time there looking around the way I did when passing through Texas and New Mexico. This time, I spent a lot of time photographing in Oklahoma and I found a lot of interesting places. I wish I'd had the money and time to spend a few weeks there. I have several others from OK to scan, plus all the stuff I shot in Texas and NM on this trip. I'd have asked the bikers if you could shoot some pics of their church, they probably would have been cool with you photographing. Most bikers are nice guys if you go up to them and introduce yourself and tell them what you're working on. I think I passed by Elk City, I wish I'd known of the place, I'd have gone to look for it myself! -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-486-2581 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 8/30/11 9:09 PM, "Ken Carney" <kcarney1 at cox.net> wrote: > On 8/30/2011 7:01 PM, Chris Crawford wrote: >> http://chriscrawfordphoto.com/chris-details.php?prodId=699&category=41 >> >> Another from Oklahoma >> >> > Chris, > > These are all just excellent.
