About Me
I live in Las Vegas with my family...consisting of Danya Plontz ( Girlfriend of the year ( 3 years running ) and if im lucky, one day my wife. and our children Kaylin " poopy fingers " plontz - Timothy " i pick my nose and i cannot lie " plontz - Dava "can't dance if she wants to" plontz and finally our real life doll - Cruce "bobblehead" plontz. We travel the country taking photos of motocross races for the industry by and large, we also do event photography for the amateurs, we now have studio capabilities here in Vegas.

We enjoy camping in the national parks, skateboarding, rollerblading ( kids ) snowboarding and just having fun whenever we can. I am a chess fanatic, and incapable of B.S so dont push me ( especially when playing chess... j /k ) Seriously, im an easy going guy once ya get to know me a little bit.

Pontiac SX 96 or 97 - Finish line whip winning the 125 race ...then came back around and did it even bigger for the crowd - they screamed so loud I had to pause and revel in it ...he had fallen several times that race and still won and then had the energy to throw two of the biggest whips...

I agree with you TeamGreen - no smoking guns...just two entities trying to stay in the black and cut the fat. I dont think anyone blames anyone for that. I certainly dont. there are several subjects and tones in this thread and one of the questions brought up was ethics - There was a miscommunication apparently and he thought TWMX...

Bobby...its minute to minute. Top guys like Frank, Simon and Kinney as well as Paul Buckley (when he was with us) have and do get season long contracts with clients - thats fairly normal nowadays ( I have had a few of my own ) thats not really the issue here or will prevent undercutting down the road. What needs...

S&S Reality TV - yea i know, Dont worry...im not in fantasy land- just certain points she made when we discussed it took it to a new level for me. total trash tv. Yes - I get Jareds point about directed journalism... because they paid they want a favorable review of their product which sucks for the end consumer...NO, it...

I havent been up to Reno in awhile - last shoot I did up there was a few years ago at Dustins with Adam Jones. Im still shooting here and there but the full schedule days are a thing of the past for me. I do miss all my friends, the excitement, the subject matter and the career - but...

stiksandstones - thats an interesting read... That isnt a shock to me either (anymore) The points Jared Souney brings up I dont all agree with though...this one in particular He says "I will say this: I am not opposed to branded content. I’m opposed to advertiser directed journalism" So he is saying its ok to accept money for altering or...

Hey guys ...been awhile since I posted and I probably should keep it that way but here is my 0.02 cents from a freelancer who has worked alongside both Frank and Donn and all the photogs.

I was never told that - if he told you that in private, I was never privy to it. I never thought much about it because we had already made the choice to not go, Danya and my focus was on Vegas. That was already behind us ( still is ) I shoot some Moto now but nowhere near what...

Steve I am guessing you are talking about Loretta's - Danya and I were told we were welcome to come and shoot! but we decided not to. She was working fulltime here in Vegas at that point and I was burned out on the industry and needed the break. plus we were trying to establish ourselves here in town. It...

Nah, my thing with DC had nothing to do with strobes being allowed or not allowed and you are right - it isnt his call and he never tried to make a decision concerning that anyway. He is my "boss" in the sense that if he asks me to photograph a feature for him, I do as instructed to guarantee...
