Happy Bird-day Patrick!
Happy birthday Patrick Sparkman. Pat celebrates the big five-oh today. Above you see him doing what he does best, hand holding the 600 II with the 5DS R and a 2X III TC in place. On this day, it was I who took the pansy-ass route by not venturing out onto the wave-tossed rocks at La Jolla Shores Beach. I hope that you have a great day bro! Are you getting some ice cream to celebrate?
Thanks everyone for the great well wishes!
My wonderful wife Robin made sure that I had a fantastic day. I love turning 50, as I like to run and now I am in a new age group! 🙂
I have Bryan Holliday to thank for the wonderful blue crocs! Blue crocs rock! And they are great in the sand, water, and slippery rocks.
Happy birthday wishes Patrick.
Good form hand holding that monster lens and with a 2x. Impressive.
Thanks for taking good care of Artie over the last three weeks.
Would have loved to be there with you guys.
Looks like you had a great deal of fun.
Life begins at 50. Enjoy every moment.
Kind regards,
David Peake.
What about 70? Coming soon, I hope 🙂 a
I’m going to miss the exhibition but hope to catch up with you inside of the next twelve months.

Great form and technique Patrick after a hard day on the rocks, don’t forget the ice bath.
Patrick,
I do not know you, but Happy Birthday. Impressive hand holding this gear, I MEAN, VERY IMPRESSIVE. You must spend a lot of time at the gym as well as do a lot of meditation to calm the nerves to be able to accomplish this feat. Again, Happy Birthday.
PS, I mentioned that we ran into Bryan in Tuscon after he left you guys in San Diego. We had some good stories to tell about Artie and I am sure you could have added many.
Is he on those slippery rocks wearing Crocs? Awesome!
Yes. He is a croc-head. Or maybe a croc-foot… a
Crocs rock!
They’re great for shooting in and along the water. And, that’s how he attracts the birds.
WOW Wish I caught this before my 2 post but Artie you have us in the year of 2106…..”Image courtesy of and copyright 2106: Bryan Holliday” Great Image Bryan!!
that should be “hold” not “old”…LOL 🙂
Happy Birthday Patrick!! Great job wish I could hand old a 600 with a 2x’re… Wishing you many more Happy B days!!!!
Happy Birthday Patrick, have a Beautiful Day!! Your photo skill is 2X excellent!!
Wow, that’s impressive hand-holding. Wish I was 50 again–but with all my after-50 memories and experiences (don’t we all wish that, eh?) I don’t know you, Patrick, but happy 50th and happy bird-day!
Happy Bird-day to you Patrick!
May every day be an awesome Bird-day for you, with tons of adventure and amazing images!
I look forward to seeing you and Robin again one day soon!
