Home again

This photo is of my brother and one of his daughters on a photo day we had. I love how the tunnel framed them and you can just see dark figures. See the icicles in the foreground?

I had a wonderful time in Utah. I sat with Dad and looked at all of his old Navy photos, then I scanned in 50 something and put them on a thumb drive to bring home. I have some upcoming projects, using those, and others using the hundreds of Dad's photos that I brought home.

I had a relaxing time with Dad... there was never any rush, and we could just relax and talk. Most days that I was there, I was able to photograph the sunrise or sunset, sometimes both. I went on two photo days with my sister in law. We have the same camera, so I was able to teach her how to do macros and panoramic shots. And I had several photo times with Dad. The one day from the previous post, and another day we drove to Provo for a Dr. appt. I got so many shots from the vehicle of the canyon, and several that he pulled over for me to take a picture, like a natural arch, a frozen over waterfall, and an old gas station. I also heard tales from one of Dad's friends about how his family supplied Butch Cassidy with fresh horses (he even had an awesome photo album!).

So today it's back to work. In a way, I've missed it. And I will be posting more daily. If I can get back on track, I will have an artisan interview tomorrow.

A Photography Excursion with my dad

Today Dad and I went out to Spring Canyon to take pictures. The area we went in had a lot of partial buildings in the mountain side. It was truly the area that time forgot. It was quite a fascinating experience, and I will be posting photos soon. The one above is from the very end of our trip.

I'm having a wonderful time with my family. I'll post again when I can.

I couldn't be more glad that it's Friday!

This photo was taken near Multnomah Falls. I can hardly wait to see all the sites that I've photographed in various seasons!

Today is Friday, and next week I am on vacation. It couldn't happen at a better time. I am so burned out on work right now. I need time to breathe, and relax. To get to know my dad better, and to get back to where I know myself again.

My shop may suffer, if I'm not there to promote daily. But my heart and my soul need this time. I feel like it's a time where I can lick my wounds, and heal. So... next week this blog for the most part will be quiet... I think. I can't say for sure though because I have no idea. The week after, though, I should have tons of new photos to share, and hopefully you will see a new, fresh, healthy energized me!
