Forever and Day

Ok, so it's been a been forever and a day since I've posted on here. I've actually been up to alot, but am so far behind in posting on my blog that I've felt like I needed to catch up with everything rather that just picking up with the present. Today, I'm going to break that trend and put up something I've made today.

My littler sister is getting married next week and I created a slideshow tonight showing a little of who they are.



enjoy!

Road Tripping: Skip to Yosemite Day 4

Ok, so most of Day 3 was on the road driving down to pick up Noah's niece Lacey and run errands that everyone needed: Best Buy, banks, and for me, David's Bridal--where I was FINALLY able to try on the bridesmaid dress for my little sister's upcoming wedding in May. It's kinda ironic that I had to travel 16 hours from Jackson Hole to try on the dress. Technically, the closest David's Bridal to JH is in Salt Lake City... 5 hours one way. You can imagine why I didn't want to make a trip solely to try on the dress, so I'm really happy we wedged it into our Road Tripping.

On Day 4, we hiked up to Bridalveil Falls. The shots are pretty similar to the other falls, but here's Lacey climbing down to the river to throw ice back up at us. She's actually a pretty sweet girl.


Noah and Cassie waiting for me to catch up after stopping for pics.


Waking up Noah.


Setting up lights and sound.


Cassie running the light show.


It all comes together.

OK--so this screen grab's going to be blown out in some places and funky.... but no editing abilities at all, remember. I wanted to show how cool the lights and fog looked.

Road Tripping: Yosemite Day 2

Day two in Yosemite... walked to the base of the lower falls. The visuals are amazing here. I could have spent hours detouring every few steps on the walking path. I wish I had brought my tripod with me... but I've been improvising with rocks. I've just been walking with my camera and this 28-135mm lens. But now that I'm getting my bearings a little, I'm going to do a walk on my own when other people aren't waiting on me and shoot the crap out of this place. Some of the screen grabs might be a little distorted... sorry about that yall.

Road Tripping: Yosemite Day 1 Part 2

Part Two of our walk on Day 1. Encountered a field where you could breathe in all the moutains around us. My pictures don't do it justice but I will try to do it right in the next few days.

Road Tripping: Yosemite Day 1

We got to Yosemite at 8am after 15 hrs of driving. After a long nap late into the afternoon, we ventured out for a walk with the dog. I didn't bring my laptop and don't have any photo programs, but luckily 'Preview' on my friend's laptop works with my new 5d raw files. Here are some screen grabs. I'll try to post something daily along the journey.

This lady did singing telegrams to people on Valentine's Day. She was really cool.
