Guess what? I'm in California for work this week! Good-bye cold, good-bye snow, good-bye coat! Hello warmth! Here are some shots from my flight...I'm pretty sure we flew over the Grand Canyon on the first leg of my flight (to Phoenix).
For those of you who don't know when I'm not moonlighting as a photographer, I actually spend my days being a geologist. Yup...I am a real life geologist! I get funny reactions all the time when I mention what I do to people...apparently you just don't meet that many hip and happin' lady geologists...anyhoooo, today was the day I was going to get to go for a little plane ride for my geologist job. I truly mean little plane ride folks...this was a little two seater with room for the pilot + co-poliot (ME!) SO. EXCITED. I even dreamt about it last night. Welllll, we get to the airport, and get to the plane, and get into our seats, and put our headsets on...and the plane won't start. Alas, it was too cold for the little plane that could (not start). Hopefully next week i'll be lucky, and we'll try round two, and I'll have pictures from up in the air. The pictures today are brought to you from the ground.
One of my new favorite things to follow while I'm at work is a blog called "Bus2Antarctica" from a fellow at National Geographic. It details his adventures while riding a bus from Washington DC allll the way to Antarctica. So. Cool. What the hecka does this have to do with pictures you say? Well...I think I've always had a secret desire to take pictures for National Geographic. Photojournalism is something I'd like to do a little more of...so today's post is my attempt to play National Geographic explorer...haha, yeah right...I'll work on it :) I call this one "CarRide2Pittsburgh". ALMOST as cool as Antartica. Almost.
...yeah, that's right...I DARE you not to smile when you're around me! It was tough, but he just couldn't do it :)
This Saturday I taught a little photography class, and we had a great time! Lesson #1 learned for both students AND teacher...always be prepared a.k.a.make sure you have a full charged battery...or a back-up battery :) My students did a great job though, and we all took some great shots! I love passing on some of my photography tips and tricks to others...so if you have questions...feel free to email me!
Random-picture-of-the-day-that-I-liked part 2: The Giving Tree. Have you ever read it? It was a favorite of mine as a little girl! I don't know why that story came to mind when I saw this tree...but I thought it was a lovely tree.
Random-picture-of-the-day-that-I-liked part 1: Up in the AIR! Mmmmm, I think I'm getting the "office/January is SO long and bla" blues, and am itchin' to hop on a plane and go somewhere! (somewhere WARM!) Anyone else feeling the same way?
I've been really, really missing bright and cheery colors in my work lately...everything feels so wintery (um, DUH, it IS winter you say!) Well thank-goodness the H family came along! Thank you for being bright and cheery!
Guess what? I've got more wedding picts comin' your way! I can you tell I'm enjoyin' this wedding business?
AND hooray for getting caught up on the mounds and MOUNDS of pictures I still have to edit. I'm almost done with this wedding...and will probably get done just in time to start editing another wedding...sheesh! Thanks for being patient with me :)
I met the M family on Saturday in Salt Lake, and even though it was a tad cold, I had a great time taking some family pictures for them! Here's a sneak peak...
A good photographer should never be caught without her camera! Luckily I rushed home and caught the tail end of a beautiful sunset tonight!
You know what I'd like to be done with already in this new year? WINTER :( Burrrr cold!
