On a whim I drove up to this rig while it was drilling just west of Elk City, Oklahoma and ask for permission to photography for stock photo purchases. The "driller" ok'd my request, but required that I stay off of the rig without permission from home office. I was also required to wear a hard hat and steel-toed boots. I was new to digital photography, and a bit clumsy as I worked. But, I got some decent shots, and I believe I can make them better now that my Photoshop work improving.
