Yesterday was a great day! I met up with a good friend that I hadn't seen in a while and we went out on his fishing boat on Lake Tahoe. I've been fishing with Pete many times on this boat over the years,

I've shot plenty of vehicles over the years for different businesses, but I've never had one of my photos licensed for use on a vehicle before. This is pretty cool! Mark of Liberty Bell Smart Home recently
