Angel Torres of Artso, Art Solutions, recently contacted SpearsPhotos.com about using some photos on their website. Artso is a family run business located in Guayama, Puerto Rico. The artistic media they have mastered seems to be unlimited. Just about anything you can imagine can be created for you from wood, metal, foam, sculpture and paint, just to name a few.
So, why SpearsPhotos.com? Well the connection came about through a mutual friend, Freestyle Motocross rider Cody Elkins. Angel paints for Cody and I photograph Cody. To call Angel’s work painting is really an understatement. The helmet created for Cody is a work of art! In fact, Cody has sent a new helmet to Artso to be transformed into another masterpiece.
Cody has already put SpearsPhotos.com on alert that when the helmet arrvies, there will need to be another photo shoot.
Photos Coming Soon! Monte
I have recently added a new domain name, SpearsPhotos.com. Still the same awesome site, just a different way to get there. You can still use SpearsDigital.com to get there, so no need to change any bookmarks or favorites. The recently unveiled SpearsPhotos.com logo also adds a fresh new look.
Please visit my site and take a look around. I am sure you will like it.

Ponca City Eagles 15U boys photo gallery is now available! Yah baby, it’s baseball time again! CLICK HERE and look for the Eagles action photos under Recently Added photos. Download photos for FREE until May 8, 2011.
OK so, yah, I know the Nationals in Ponca City were last summer. As most of you are already aware, I do have a day job. My plans for the future have nothing to do with brown trucks, packages or dogs chewing on my legs. What they do hopefully hold is plenty of full time action photography featuring all things MX, AX and FMX. If you order specific photos I will get them right to you. The freebies are just kind of put out there whenever I get spare time, which is not often enough.
Click on the photo above to get to my site where you can check out and download some wallpaper! Be sure and tell your buds and hit me up anytime on facebook, twitter, myspace (does anybody really still use myspace?) or email me through my website.

Winter time if most definitely here, with a vengeance. Outdoor action photography has hit an all time low for me lately. Thank goodness for an occasional arenacross to satisfy my need for action photos! The good news is that I have had some time to look over some images from last year. I found this one of FMXer Justin Mize and decided to freshen it up a little. Checking on printing some 18×24 posters of Justin. If you might be interested in purchasing one let me know. If you have not yet visited his site, you need to! Here is the link JustinMize.com
There are a couple of arenacross events that I plan on attending soon. The AMA Arenacross Series visits Wichita, KS March 5th & 6th. Guaranteed good time! There will also be an Arenacross in Enid, Oklahoma on April 16th. It should be similar to the one held at the Lazy E Arena earlier this year.
See You Soon! Monte
Local rider Matt Smith was injured in a gnarly crash yesterday during a practice session at an area track. He is currently hospitalized in Wichiata, Ks. I spoke with Matt on the phone today and he told me he was doing o.k. That’s hard to believe considering his list of injuries, 5 fractured tabs on his vertebra, fractured shoulder, fractured hip joint and several bruises. He will undergo surgery soon to repair some of the damage. Please keep Matt and his family in your prayers as he recovers from these injuries.

The much anticipated 2011 AMA Arenacross Series kicks off in Tulsa, Oklahoma this weekend, January 8th & 9th, at the BOK Center. If you have never been to an arenacross event, here is your chance. Many of the top riders from around the country will gather in Tulsa for some intense bar to bar racing. New photos from this years event will be up soon! SEE YOU THERE!
Kenny Bartram
The weather last Saturday was perfect for being outdoors. It was even better combined with a little Freestyle Motocross. About noon the photo gear was loaded into the Ford and it was off to Stillwater with my two assistants, Zachary and Tara. Kenny Bartram’s place was the final destination. It was time to get serious about getting some shots of Kenny in his new 2011 Alpinestars Gear. Kenny did look pretty sharp in the new gear. I’m thinking about getting me some and I don’t even own a bike. FMXers Derek Cook and Justin Mize were there too along with some area moto guys. All three put on quite a show most of the afternoon throwing about everything they had. Kenny did a nose wheelie for about 100 feet. Justin decided he was not going to be outdone so he gave it his best effort. Needless to say his wheelie FELL short and he got major deductions for the dismount (sorry Justin). Derek seems to have most of his tricks back after some time off with a broken wrist (nice Shaolin Bar Hop!). The guys even did a gnarly backflip train for us. It all went well until about sunset. Kenny and Justin were then jockeying for the best spot for a portrait as the light was getting just right. Those guys are way too much sometimes. Be on the look out for some of the new photos. I’m sure they will start popping up soon! If you get a chance click on the links above and check out Kenny and Derek’s websites. Justin’s is in the making and should go live soon.
