Hoover Dam at Dusk

So this photo, which is currently titled Hoover Dam, (I’m a photographer, not a writer) won Best in Show for the Springs Preserve Photo Contest.  I haven’t had a chance to see the whole show yet, but if you get a chance, stop by, take a look at it.  Supporting the Springs Preserve is a good thing, and if you’ve never been there before, it’s a cool place in Vegas.  The show will be running till the beginning of October.

Mad Mud Run – Las Vegas

The last section, the mud section, of the Mad Mud Run in the Providence neighborhood of Las Vegas, NV from May 21st, 2011.  The total run was 4.6 miles capped off with about 20 yards of crawling though mud with crowds cheering and booing, (booing if the competitor didn't get really into the mud). (Josh Hawkins)

The last section, the mud section, of the Mad Mud Run in the Providence neighborhood of Las Vegas, NV from May 21st, 2011. The total run was 4.6 miles capped off with about 20 yards of crawling though mud with crowds cheering.

Basic idea behind this event is run a long way, deal with obstacles, and finish off by crawling in the mud.  There are more photos here of the Mad Mud Run, in a slide show format, if you want to see them all now, otherwise they’ll appear over time.
