How many Libby Montana Police does it take?

How many Libby Police does it take?

I am presently going through some old photos that my parents gave me before they passed away finding ones to give to my siblings. They are currently mixed in with many shots I took over the years.

While going through some yesterday I came across these three photos that I took on a trip to visit my cousin Diana and her children who live in Libby, Montana.

During this one trip we went over to the baseball diamonds were one of her daughters was playing softball. After the game ended, she realized that she had locked the keys to her car inside the car.

In most places the police would not get involved in fear of lawsuits if they did the slightest damage but in small town Montana, the police officers present who knew Diana had no problem in helping a damsel in distress.

When all was said and done, they may have wished they never agreed to help. The first two officers could not get the car open so along comes officer number three in the attempt to open the door.

By this time there was several people watching the spectacle as the officers tried desperately to get one of the doors to open.

Well, in the end after a lot of frustration and about 45 minutes of attempts, one of the officers was finally able to get the door unlocked.

Just one of those things you have to look back and laugh about even though it was a frustrating situation back then.

On December 2nd I attended a event sponsored by the Utah Strobist Flickr group.

The event was held on the top levels of the Walker Garage which is in downtown Salt Lake City. The weather was cold but there was only a couple of sprinkles so the weather held out for us.

There was several models present for us to take pictures of. This picture is of Steven one of the 5 models that I photographed that night.

Since in the past I have not taken many pictures of people and rarely used a flash, this was the first picture I ever attempted to removed red eye on and the results came out better than I expected.

This week I plan to attend a Photowalking Utah event at the downtown library and Temple Square. I would also like to attend the Utah Photo Safari trip up to the University of Utah on Wednesday but have corporate big wigs flying in at my "real" job.

I have a lot of things coming up. In late January or early February I will do a dedicated stock photo shoot with "S" my co-worker. Then in late February we have a tripped planned to Moab and a week long trip in June to visit my friend in Seattle plus attend Lumber Days in Libby, Montana.
