I have always liked celebrating my birthday with a little travel. This year’s destination was Portland, Oregon. Serene planned a great weekend and wow, what a great town! Gorge-ous sights, some of the friendliest folks west of Minneapolis, great food (Pine State Biscuits is amazing…the soundtrack is even better than the food!), and unforgettable signs. Signs?? Yes, signs. I cannot imagine why I wouldn’t visit at least once a year. Loved it.

Serene had never been to Huddart Park, and I hadn’t been in at least 7 years (which is almost like never having gone), so we decided to check it out yesterday afternoon. Grabbing my camera bag was kind of an afterthought. Really happy that I did. Our 6pm walk was full of two things: bloodthirsty mosquitoes and some amazing light. Here are a couple of my favorite shots of the day.

Rounding out my recent Moab, Utah workshop with Tyler Stableford was a day in Arches National Park. I had been there once before, but that was before photography took over my life. Utah is my absolute favorite place to be outdoors, and places like Arches are exactly why. Southeast Utah looks like another planet. Or at least my imaginings of other planets. It’s stunning. We climbed up, around, and through arches in the park…and if a picture wasn’t on the other end of some of those hikes, there is no WAY you could get me to risk my neck and my gear. Very special thanks to Tyler and his assistant, Draper White, for all their expert advice and assistance. And a very special thanks to our model for putting up with us during a very long day.
Tyler kids around about how he has no pictures of himself, but I don’t think its a joke. I decided to try to do my part by sharing a portrait of him perched inside one of the arches.

Over the weekend, I had an opportunity to do a second workshop with Tyler Stableford in Moab, UT. Last spring, I blogged about a fantastic sports photography workshop that Tyler conducted in Boulder, CO. This one was even better. Here is a sneak peek at 3 images I captured over the weekend. More to come…

Fantastic preview Dana! Can’t wait to see the full set! Next time you sign up for an outing like this one let me know, maybe I’ll join you.
In the New year, a 2011 photographers workshop list was published for known workshops to take place in Moab. It is great to see a sample of the images that can be captured in Moab. Thanx!
from photographer to artist! amazing.
This weekend, I had my first photography man-date of 2011. Cibby, Harsh, and I took in the sunset overlooking the Pacific. Sometimes we find lots to complain about out in San Francisco. But then there are weekends like this one to remind us how ridiculous we must sound.
I’m making a rare appearance in the blog, courtesy of an image taken by Harsh Patel with my GF-1. Since I had no pics of Harsh from the man-date, I figured I would give him a shout-out…by posting a pic of myself. Suspect.

Nice, guys. Jealous. As usual.
What do you complain about in SF? The parking??
Lovely, Dana! And I need those sneakers. 
FAB pics… we were at ocean beach yesterday too. SF ruleZ.
Such handsome men! And the images are spectacular. Well done.
(Although I have to agree with Maurice – you complain about San Francisco?? Dude. Never move to Houston.)
