Below you'll find a list of all posts from 2008
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!
Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, near Moab, Utah.
This is a little different perspective of this frequently visited and photographed arch. This isn’t a better perspective, except that we were all alone – a long way from the large crowd gathered at the end of the trail head. A crowd that actually began to yell at each other as they “ruined” each others photos – it really tainted what should have been a wonderful evening.Read More
False Kiva, Canyonlands National Park, Utah.
This amazing location is kept fairly quite by the Park Service, as it is tucked away under a beautiful alcove on an un-marked trail. It isn’t really a Kiva (site for religious rituals), but it is a historic native American site.Read More
Balanced Rock, Arches National Park, Utah.
Having a few clouds in the sky caught me be surprised Saturday night, as it has been a fairly rare event while here in Moab. I gotta say, a colorful sky was a treat, and Balanced Rock seemed like an ideal subject for such a sky.
Check out the rest of our Arches National Park photos.
Henry Mountains, Utah.
Another aerial photo.
I have to give a giant shout out to our pilot Tim, he was the best. His family represents 4 or 5 generations in the Moab area, he had wonderful stories of all the areas we flew over, I could have listened to him all day.Read More
