Description
Another candid portrait from the day of the Trifecta Venatorius.
Do you remember Nikki from a couple weeks ago? This is her brother, Roy. He and his lady were new to the Trifecta this year, but they did great, had a blast, and will be back next year!
Part of the fun of the Hunt is getting opposing teams to believe any number of things that would cause them to be delayed, or to send them off on a wild goose chase. Roy was in the spirit from the beginning.
As some of the participants were caravaning to the meeting place first thing in the morning, Roy called Chief (the Huntmaster) and one of the other participants (each in their own vehicles) and told them he was stuck on the freeway with clutch trouble. The other participant doubled back to help, causing him to almost miss the start time! Of course when he got to the place on the freeway where Roy said he was stuck, he realized he'd been had.
Roy's setup garnered him special mention at the awards ceremony that night -- that's exactly the sort of thing that gets you points!

we had a comic here when i was young...featuring a soccer player...called 'Roy of the Rovers' hence i cannot resist the temptation to say ...'Roy of the Raiders'...;) excellent candid portrait my friend...
Great portrait! At first glance he seems very serious, but you can see a hint of mischief in his eyes. Maybe he's deep in thought about his next ploy.
He looks nice.
OMG Tara - were all the boys handpicked by someone with impeccable taste in hunks??? What a stunner and the portrait is cool too!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Ek mis jou Dierbaar! Groot druk! :)
MMm! Delicious! (even though he has his cap on back-to-front which is a personal no-no for me like socks and shorts and sandals) A super portrait.
This is an excellent portrait of a very handsome guy.<-9
A good solid portrait, nicely done auntie.
Great portait, Tara!
Sounds like fun ... and cute guy. CC
A Raiders fan in Washington...what do the Seattle folks think..:)
What a great story and what a grand way to make your entrance in the Trifecta Venatorius. I wonder how long it took him to think that little trick up. Your photo is as good as the story.
LOL, This is great and this sounds like so much fun. This is way more exciting sounding then the RPG going on here. Awesome candid portrait. A true ninja photographer.
cool
superb portrait!
Aye, a fine portrait of a fine looking laddie, but an Oakland Raiders fan? At least he's not wearing an ear stud.
Great capture!
Ooooooh, those penetratingly blue eyes, and what a great ploy to initiate his first trifeca with! Lovely image.
Mastering confusion:) Excellent portraiture.
Great portrait!!
Excellent portrait! :)
Chaos reigned!! lol You sound you have a wonderful family around you.. AND you take great portraits too!! Rob.
So you cans see the mischief and intelligence in his eyes!!!
nice portrait...
If Roy is really a Raiders fan, he is going to love Richard Seymour. They just traded for Seymour from the Patriots. Awesome defensive lineman. Roy is a good looking addition to your clan. Dana
He rocks; love the story!!
Blue eyes like me. Nice story.
Great portrait...I'm sure he had lots of fun
nice subtle lighting, difficult with an outdoor shot like this
Fantastic story and a wonderful shot! I love candid shots and any image in which humans look more human than posed! Great expression on his face! This is fantastic work, both written and photographic and this capture is one of the reasons why I like writing so much. There's so much in that face, in the expression...wonderful work!
this gathering really does sound like a blast, lots of schemes & creative ins & outs and everyone seems to love it. We are loving it too, as you show us more and more angles & portraits from it. (And following Chip is daunting, believe me. I'm on my best literary & observational behavior here...) Another nice portrait, capturing a certain reserve and certain strength, a nice serving of shade & a nice to the side gaze—again, a person looking partly out of the frame, something you capture so well. Nice capture to one side too. Very nice Tara. And the story is great.
