Joe West and Lori Kathleen Ottino Presents
Yesterday afternoon, Joe West And Lori Ottino, entertained us on the streets of Madrid. Joe brought his "Psychedelic Snack Shack", with free Hot Apple Cider to entertain us on a beautiful, sunny day. Joe and Lori lead off with a few songs, before turning the stage over to Westin McDowell playing some great Jazz and Christmas tunes on his piano.
Then the daring, death defying Clan Tynker took center stage. I have seen and photographed this troupe many times over the yearsI always enjoy their show.

Beyond the Schoolhouse Brunch Plus “Snickers” the pig
Sunday night the 10th, I cleaned my camera for the shoot on Monday and my camera stopped working. It had fallen from my lap a couple of weeks ago. At the time the only part not working was the focus through the eye view. The lens was slightly damaged at the same time. It was about eight o'clock and I decided that I would drive up to my house first thing in the morning and get my D810.
Monday, I started my car and all the lights on the dash lit up, again. I knew I could drive the car though some things would not be functioning. After picking up my D810 I went to fill my car with gas, driving back to the house the car filled with gas fumes. I was not going to drive with it leaking fuel. Back to the shop, again.
I cleaned the D810, charged the batteries, then I took my sister's car, filled it with gas and met the people I would be following to the sanctuary for the shoot. It took about an hour to drive to the sanctuary.
"Snickers" the Cerrillos, escape artist pig, had been sent to, "In good Company" a domestic animal sanctuary, to live after his latest adventure. They are a non-profit organization and could use your donation to help with the care and feeding of all of their animals.
