Welcome to the twisted little world of Failte Gate Farm!
I bounce between working as a CSI in a large metropolitan city to running a small farm with goats and sheep that would make Mother Teresa cuss like a sailor. Life doesn't get more real than rats in the morning and maggots at night. Come and sit a spell with us. Enjoy the Circle of Life! You'll never look at a fly the same way again.

Like cocaine, farms have a way of taking over your life. Slowly but surely, all your time, money, and even your family, gets sucked into the farm. It starts slowly, just like a drug addiction. Horses are marijuana, the gateway drug. They pave the way for property, barns, and fencing. But horses lead to more dangerous vices--like goats, sheep, cows, and Border Collies!

Philosophy & Photography
"The man who does not read good books, has no advantage over the man who can't read them." -- Mark Twain
"All the masterpieces of art contain both light and shadow. A happy life is not one filled only with sunshine, but one which uses both light and shadow to produce beauty." -- Rev. Billy Graham

CSI Blog - Behind The Tape
Straddling a dead man to photograph the controls of a motel air conditioner, I happened to look down and see the dead guy at my feet. It startled me for a moment. Here I was, in a dimly lit room, alone with a dead man, and I was going about my business as if he wasn't, literally, under my feet. For a moment, just for a moment, I felt as if my heart had shrunk, much like the Grinch That Stole Christmas . . . that something so freakin' abnormal has become the natural order of business for me . I thought about it for a bit, shrugged, and then went back to work. |
