If you look hard enough, there's a Ranger Creek .36 on my shelf. Has anyone tried to blend their own whiskey, is this how they do it?

This was a sample I received a while ago from a fellow whiskey connoisseur. Must have been a scotch but for the life of me, I can't remember or see anything else other than a single malt 10 year old.

And I really feel like this has a bit more power, less "alcoholism" taste, ha, no pun intended. This is earlier work and probably what started shaping the idea of me being in front of the camera while managing the back end as well.

Contrary to popular belief, I do not drink every day. I do not have to explain myself anyway, I'm just a photographer who found a niche and enjoyment. Someone who has shot weddings, church groups, concerts, sports events and now focused on my beloved family. I hope my work will someday earn me some extra cash and on this occasion, with a little bit of your help.

Cheers, thanks for allowing me to post here.

I almost died taking this shot. But it was worth it because it's one of my favorite post-yard work. This is one from the series of self-portraits and it features this tasty bottle from Standard Proof. It's a Texas Pecan infused Rye. I enjoyed it. And while you're still reading, please vote and help me get to 1st place.

Vote once a day for the next 9 days and I'm in the running for 25k. Your vote is greatly appreciated.

So, I'm in the running for this Artist contest and my work is whiskey related. Can I get your vote? If not, it's cool. I'll just keep creating and move on. I recently went to Portugal and was hunting a whiskey from there. I was not disappointed to learn the process and history of this distillery called Vennaki. It definitely has wine barrel on the nose.

To vote for my whiskey related work, the link is next....down here... Just one more pine down. Cheers!
