Thanks man, I'll do that right now. Do they usually let you know that they are going to do it?

(are you going to walk over there and nudge them in my direction? :) )

As soon as I receive it I'll put a special note on it that the photo has celebrity status.

Sorry, Mike. It was Obama's fault it didn't get on the air. That's the truth.

Well, I saw they did a big thing on the Hubble's photos, so I figured it was Hubble :)

So it might have shown up on the 6pm one?

The 430 was packed and the 6 had to steal 11 minutes from NBC. If it makes you feel any better, two reporter packages were dropped, as well.

It was on at 5:15am this morning Matt!

Thank you for anything you did to help out, really fun seeing that happen. She also pronounced my name perfectly too which was astounding :)

Thank you!

People usually mispronounce Chandler Mike?

Mike, that is one fabulous photo! (The Sept. 8 shot.) Also loved the one with the street lights and full moon.

Well, I doubt we'll get anything from it, but I'm always hopeful when I see a hurricane over Baja and on into Mexico that we'll see moisture from it.

Hurricane Rick should be over Mexico by middle of next week...it's a category 5 right now over the ocean, and will obviously taper off, but it's still going right for the mainland of Mexico, so I'm hoping!

I wouldn't want to run into that beast in the middle of the ocean on my boat. That would be insane!!!!!

Pouring here in southeast Chandler right now!

A picture I shot this morning from the top of a hill on Lindsey/Chandler Heights. It's an HDR from three separate images:

Those are all just amazing....get all of them to me and I will get them all printed up. I will pick one or two of the weather ones and just get them done free of charge. We just got a huge shipment of ink today, so paper should be here Monday.
