it's been a while since i posted on here - and my hope is i will be more inspired to write about my experiences, as it hasn't been for a lack of trips. Speaking of trips, i take off to the Big Island of Hawai'i on Tuesday for 8 days. The lava is flowing right now, as it started back up into the ocean for the first time in 3 years back in July. anyways, i am getting ready to put together my 2017 calendars, and once again i am using http://www.printingcenterusa.com for the 4th year in a row.  I know this may sound like an "ad", but...

this past weekend, my wife and i went xc-skiing up in grand teton national park. we had never been there before, and it did not disappoint! plus i had never been skiing before, so now i will have to get a pair since we live in salt lake city. having never been there before, i had really no clue where anything was. especially in winter, where a lot of the roads are closed. most of the view points are of the same vantage, albeit a few miles apart....

Tomorrow I embark on a trip that a buddy and I planned ironically months before my wife and I decided to move here. As many may know, there are 5 National Parks in Utah, and many more that are located within a 6 hour drive from where we live in Salt Lake City. Due to work and life, I haven't been able to get out much at all since we moved here in August. Other than shooting my cousins' wedding earlier this month, I hadn't been out on a trip since...

13 days ago, we left Oregon for an new adventure. Up to then, everything had gone better than expected. Both my wife and i got transfers pretty quickly, found an apartment (harder than one thinks sight unseen), found movers and got a good deal on a moving truck. I had only driven through Salt Lake City twice, and hadn't technically ever stepped foot on solid ground here. I did fly into Salt lake City last October for an hour layover. Don't think...

A week ago, I put in my transfer at work. It was a bittersweet moment, but won't feel "real" until i get confirmation that the transfer went through and is official. This could take several weeks, but hopefully not as we need to put in notice to our apartments and start looking at ones in Salt lake City. I have made a list of places I wanted to go visit, and in many cases, revisit before we hit the road for SLC. Naturally that list is much longer...

so yeah, i haven't been keeping up on this. it hasn't been for lack of shooting, just life gets in the way sometimes. speaking of life, my wife and i will be relocating to Utah in the near future. this will be bittersweet, as i have lived here for almost 20 years, but am super excited to be moving. life is too short to be stuck in one spot for ever. also i am not really a people person, and this place is getting too crowded for my liking. seems like...

Time flies. Cannot believe it has been almost a year since I posted anything on here. The good news was that I hadn't taken a single picture since my last post, so you really didn't miss out on anything. More good news is that I bought a D600 and 14-24 in February of this year; although I didn't use it until mid April when I went on a rowdy southwest trip with two good buddies. Pictures from there will be posted soon on here.  Usually I don't...
