Serving the Shooting Sports and Outdoor Marketplace

2012 bring several new website projects to the studio. More and more of our clients are requesting CMS websites so they can manage their sites and take advantage of the many features that make WordPress and other content management systems so attractive.

Among the projects we’ve started are new websites for Northwoods Bird Dogs, Strideaway and Forrest Auto Body. (Steve Forrest is one of my longtime grouse dog friends and owns a wonderful young pointer, Belle. See the Gallery called The Grouse Woods at http://www.chrismathanphoto.com/ to see Belle and her littermates!)

The month of January of the Quail Forever 2012 Calendar features a photo I took in 2008 at Erin Kennels in Illinois. The setter, Dee, pointed a huge covey of quail that exploded as Sean Derrig approached to flush. Though she can barely be seen in the tall grass, there’s just enough of her showing to give the viewer an idea of what an exciting moment it was!

Birds are flighty at this, the end of grouse season in Maine. Kit’s bird did not try to outrun her but shot up like a canon out of a rocket and was gone so fast I barely caught a glimpse of it. We had three solid months of grouse hunting this past fall…among the best season I can remember in many years. It also gave me lots of opportunities to photograph grouse dogs and flying birds. My goal to get a shot on a flying grouse will resume the spring!

…and here’s hoping for the very best for our friends and clients in 2012!
