@DylanBallard_UK Thanks! Next time I’m in Lexington, I’m hitting this up for sure!

[Riley Mac Byers @RMByers]

@MarcWeinbergWX Gotcha. Thanks. Think we can see it without a camera or other equipment?

[Riley Mac Byers @RMByers]

Normally, I would hope UK wins. Their women’s team is amazing. However, Muleshoe connections trump other allegiances. @AALIYAH2CHAVEZ is the best freshman in the country and I went to high school with her dad and uncles. 806 all the way baby! Shout out to LBK Monterey too.

“Sometimes the most special moments aren’t meant to be captured—they’re meant to be felt.” 💯

[Dylan Ballard @DylanBallard_UK]

As a sports photographer, I live to capture moments.

The game-winners. The records. The roars. The heartbreak.
It’s what I do—and I love it.

But these two photos hit me in very different ways.

The first: LeBron breaking the all-time scoring record. An unreal moment in sports history. But look closely… almost every single fan has their phone out, trying to capture it.

The second: Rory McIlroy winning the Masters, completing the career grand slam, and capturing his first major in 11 years. Not a phone in sight. Just pure emotion. Fans clapping. Smiling. Taking it in. Living it.

Now, I get it—phones are part of how we connect with big moments now. I’m a photographer, after all. I document memories. But I also see the value in just being present.

Sometimes the most special moments aren’t meant to be captured—they’re meant to be felt.

And The Masters, with their no-phone rule, gave the world a reminder of how beautiful that can be.

So here’s your reminder:
Don’t just record the moment. Live it.

@TheRichardClark The main thing I was hoping you would see, which may have been missed, is how good the Batavia track team is. Another spotlight on your seemingly amazing town.

[Riley Mac Byers @RMByers]

@TheRichardClark Tell the world bro.

[Traces of Texas @TracesofTexas]

The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day is actually a passel of 10 facts about the Texas Panhandle.

1) The Panhandle is 25,610 square miles
2) The Panhandle comprises the northernmost 26 counties in Texas
3) The line forming the southern boundary of Swisher County in the central Panhandle marks the southern boundary of the Texas Panhandle
4) The elevation of the Texas Panhandle declines from about 4,700 feet in the northwest (Dallam County) to about 2,000 feet in the southeast (Childress County).
5) The growing season in the Texas Panhandle increases from 178 days per year in the far northwest to 217 days in the southeast
6) Average annual rainfall ranges from 21.5 inches in the eastern counties to 17.5 inches in the western counties
7) The upper tributaries of the Red River and the Canadian River drain the Texas Panhandle. The Canadian River cuts across the High Plains to isolate the southern part, the Llano Estacado, which has very little drainage and a reputation as one of the world's flattest areas of such size
8) The Ogallala aquifer, which lies beneath almost the entire Texas Panhandle, is one of the world's largest aquifers and unquestionably the Panhandle's most valuable resource.
9) Human presence in the Panhandle dates from the time of Paleo-Indian hunters of Pleistocene animals, whose presence is verified by exquisitely knapped Folsom and Clovis projectile points found all over the Panhandle alongside datable materials
10) The folks who live in the Panhandle are the nicest folks in Texas.

Okay, so I may have made that last fact up, but in my experience its pretty darn true! And I say that as somebody who comes from Central Texas. 😀

Dad Airport Rules:

1. Pack the night before. Accidentally pack your toothbrush and then freak out in the morning because the 45 seconds it took to unpack may make you late

2. Show up to the airport 2.5-3 hours early. Get there before the ticketing counter staff. Assert dominance

3. Walk past all the good food spots and go directly to the gate. Make sure it hasn’t changed.

4. Look at your boarding pass no less than 12 times to ensure your boarding group and seat number haven’t changed. Memorize them, but then forget as soon as you get on the plane and check again
