Cover Girl!

I try to keep this blog pretty much photography related, but every now and then I have to throw in an non photography tidbit – like today, my niece Sydney Buck is gracing the front page of the Anchorage Daily News showing off her missing front teeth while skiing at Alyeska Ski Resort.  Pretty cool stuff! 

My sister says Alyeska received another 15 inches of snow last night – we are off to a good start this winter!  The skate skiing in Seward right now is awesome.  That sure makes it easier to be leaving that nice 80 degree desert weather.

Interesting rocks in the Mojave Desert last night after sunset.  I loved the glow on the rocks from the evening light and the purple earth shadow!

Right now (Friday afternoon) we are sitting in the Palm Springs airport waiting for the flight home.  We actually hit Anchorage at midnight and will drive home on Saturday during the daylight.  I hear the Seward Highway is in tough shape from all the snow.Read More

I spent one evening doing nothing but photographing neon signs in Las Vegas.  There are some really interesting signs there!

I get many emails from photographers coming to Alaska asking about what type of clothing they will need – boots, rain gear etc.  Well to get this shot, I had to go out and get the proper clothing myself.  Yes, now I a pair of dress shoes, slacks and a dress shirt just for these type of opportunities.  🙂

Here are more Las Vegas Photos.

Normally my blog posts are almost in real time.  Usually I prepare the post the same day I take the photo, and post to the blog the next morning.  Well I must admit Zion has been the exception.  We left Zion about a week ago, as soon as the fall colors faded, but I continued to post photos as if I was still there because we had some much fun and I had a lot I wanted to share!Read More

Lower Emerald Pool, Zion National Park, Utah.

Despite the name, there isn’t a beautiful emerald colored pool at the Lower Emerald Pool – maybe there was at one time.   There are a couple of nice little waterfalls coming over the alcove and into the pools, along with some nice fall colors, so at least there was still some cool photo opportunities.

Here is a larger version of this photo of the Emerald Pools in Zion.
