Below you'll find a list of all posts from October, 2008
Marie Osmond
I didn’t know Marie Osmond was such a “big” star – she must be 200 feet tall!
According to the newspaper, for some reason, some guest to the Flamingo have requested rooms behind her teeth and eyes.
We are now making the trek to our favorite quiet little desert town of Borrego Springs, California where we will clean things up and store our rig before making the long trek home. Because of this, the blog may be a little quiet the next few days.
The Venetian, Las Vegas, Nevada.
I did photograph more then just poker players while in Las Vegas. 🙂
Here are more Las Vegas Photos.
Of all the poker players I photographed last week, it is interesting that the two I posted photos of were Doyle Brunson and Daniel Negreanu. Of course I picked them because they are two of the most famous and popular players – but get this – last night, Janine sat down and played Texas hold’em with the legendary Doyle Brunson! I’m serious – this isn’t April Fools!
And if that wasn’t enough, I did some side gambling on a prop bet with Daniel Negreanu! Now granted, I’m a gambling wimp, so it was only for a dollar, but still!Read More
Climbing in Moab.
Last year I wrote a post entitled action Jackson where I wrote about the amazing range of outdoor recreation activities easily accessible in Jackson, Wyoming and the Grand Tetons. The same can be said for Moab, Utah as well.
Everyone is familiar with the mountain biking and jeeping in the area, but there is also great climbing and bouldering. With the Colorado River flowing through town, you can canoe or kayak calm water, or raft and kayak big white water. There are numerous hiking trails. Canyons to be explored – well you get the idea.
See more Moab, Utah photos.
Rock Art, Moab, Utah.
There is an amazing variety of Native American Rock Art in the Moab, Utah area – some of it is really fascinating. You could spend an entire visit just checking out rock art locations.
I’m trying to use my down time in Vegas to caption and edit images – it is cheaper then the alternative activities. 🙂
Daniel Negreanu at the WPT Festa al Lago Tounament, Bellagio, Las Vegas.
Daniel staring down an opponent during a hand. If I had to pick, Daniel would be my favorite player as he looks like he is always having a great time at the tables, laughing and joking with the other players – while usually winning!
If you remember my Phil Ivey post, you will know my last attempt to cover one of these World Poker Tournaments wasn’t very successful. This time we made the arrangements to get the necessary credentials in advance.
By the way, Daniel was the chip leader at the end of day two, but was eliminated just in the money on day 3.
Doyle Brunson
The legendary poker player, Doyle Brunson at the WPT Festa al Lago tournament, at the Bellagio, in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a treat to watch and photograph such a famous player!
Needless to say, we have now moved on from Moab.
Since I’m covering this tournament for our travel stock coverage of Las Vegas, and not as a news event, I decided to head back to camp on this day, after getting photos of most the big names. I mean, what am I going to miss? It isn’t like Michael Phelps, winner of 14 Olympic gold medals is going to walk into the room.
You guessed it – literally minutes after I left, Michael Phelps – probably the biggest celebrity in the world right now, walked into the room!Read More
Turret Arch through North Window, Arches National Park.
After fighting the crowds at Delicate Arch, we decided to get to this location an hour before sunrise to be sure to have the what I thought was the ideal location.Â
We enjoyed a half hour of quiet darkeness, then a half hour of beautiful pre sunrise glow, and finally the first light of day, and never saw or heard another person. Only the sound of two ravens flying through the opening – when compared to silience, it is surprising how much noise thier wings can make. This was definitely the best morning of the trip!
