Capital Grille

My steak wasn't very photogenic but everything else was.

Rain!!!

Even though The Presidents Cup was plagued by torrential rain all week, we managed to finish on time. The US Team prevailed over the International Team 18.5 to 15.5. Next stop is Korea in 2015.

Rut Roh! It was like this every day.

We had a nice spacious 3 room office for the week to keep us dry.

Sunset at Muirfield

Chris posed with the Team USA photo he shot 2 days ago.

The fairways were flooded after the storm.

Bell & Bush

Today they rang the opening bell for the NYSE, remotely from Muirfield Village Golf Club.

Afterward, Jack was interviewed by CNBC.

Former President George W. Bush came by the clubhouse for a photo op & to talk with kids from The First Tee of Columbus.

Wednesday in Columbus

We spent the whole day & night in downtown Columbus prepping for the formal group photos & the Opening Ceremony.

We found a great restaurant ... Knead. They make everything by hand from locally sourced ingredients, free of things you wouldn't want in your food.

I had the Boom Boom Buns ... steamed whole wheat buns stuffed with slow roasted pork in hoisin BBQ sauce with cucumber, slaw & crushed nuts. YUM!

Mary had The Motherclucker!

Nice sign at the North Market

 

Earlier in the day, we went to check out photo positions for the Opening Ceremony in downtown Columbus, OH.

 

After the formal group photos we headed over to shoot the Opening Ceremony.

Team Headshots

At every Presidents Cup, I shoot headshots of the players & coaches both with & without the Cup.

These are shot on the broadcast interview set & we're always crammed into a furniture-less hotel room. The only place to edit was the bathroom! LOL!

Off To The Presidents Cup

Stella enjoyed her vacation at the swanky Pet Paradise resort. Her suite had a great view of the dog bone shaped swimming pool.

On the flight to Columbus, OH.

Pup Pool Party

Stella & Google were both ready for a dip

 

Doggie paddle!

The hose is so much more fun than the pool!

Gigantic grasshoppers were everywhere. It's a good thing Stella prefers chasing lizards.

Strut Your Mutt JAX

PGA TOUR's 2013 team ... Mutts Who Putt.

Mary & Google walked too.

 

Mmmmm! Peanut Butter Bacon doggie ice cream!

I love the texture detail after Stella licked it for a while.

After the walk we swung by Sarah's studio. It was the perfect setting to photograph the Mutts Who Putt's second consecutive Golden Biscuit Award.

I think Stella likes it here!

The proud pups

Stella always lets me know when she's done posing.

While the pups hung out in the A/C, I shot some of the graffiti in the CoRK Arts District.

Stickers on the door: "This is a cool place" & "no Bozos allowed." Definitely my kind of place after the "clown" incidents in NY.

I love graffiti!

Nancy Grace! LOL! Yikes!
