We were pretty excited about this weekend on the mountain.  Especially when we got upgraded to an awesome 2BR suite upon arrival Friday night.  Of course we made some time to goof around in the suite between long days on the mountain.  The snow was ok too, although there were a few runs in whiteout blizzard conditions (not caught on camera).  On the drive back to Vancouver, we were lucky enough to catch an incredible sunset…just moments before our Avis rental car decided to stop running, stranding us for 2 hours.  A  great weekend overall.   So glad I brought the lighting gear.  And nobody is a more patient and willing subject than Serene.  As you can see, she is always putting up with (and sometimes contributing to) all my crazy ideas and really makes the images better.

Another photographic adventure this weekend. In true obsessive fashion, I brought my new light stand/umbrella combo to Boise. Yesterday, we went out into the same fields we visited last summer to take some dusk shots with the new gear. Then today, we took a drive out to an abandoned, rusted-out car to get some more sunset shots. Well worth it. The gear worked great. Especially the gorillapod. I have to give Natalie and Greg a special shout-out for that one. Thanks, guys. One downside to trying out new gear…it makes me crave even more new gear. A cruel cycle that never fails.

    I love this shoot! Really nice work (and Serene looks great as always). HP

Serene, Emma, and I made the quick trip up to Boise to get in some time with family and on the mountain.  Emma wasn’t interested in having her picture taken, but nobody else seemed to mind.  I was especially excited about taking some shots up on the hill with a camera that I’d never used before, the Canon S90.  I’d bought the camera for work but hadn’t really had a chance to take a look at what it could do.  All the outdoor shots here were taken with it, and I’m even more impressed with it than I was when I first read the reviews.  Not sure it could sub for the G11, but its definitely a ton of capability in a really small package.  I also took the liberty of adding a new panoramic of Bogus Basin ski area to the slideshow up above…a stitched image of 6 shots taken with the S90.

    I love Bogus Basin. Used to ski it when I was a kid!

I was so glad to get home yesterday.  11 days on the road hasn’t been kind, and the work week is coming too fast.  I haven’t even had the energy to deal with the things that I’ve been neglecting for the past three weeks.  “Eventually” might be the answer to when I’ll clean the house, but its definitely not fit for dealing with other people.

    Some time ago I decided to build a website, where I could advertise my photography and writing skills. Not in a blog form, but rather a photographer’s portfolio style. I learnt use use complex website building tools, improved my photoshop skills and got top work. I was going to call my website “Photorious”. Ironic, but when I bumped into this website the other day, my anger for having waited so long and letting this great domain name be stolen from me vanished within the first few scrolls of the mouse. What an astonishing photographer you are. I’m nowhere near your level. I kept scrolling down and my envy was slowly turning into admiration. Your photographs are amazing. What else can I say? I wish I knew how you do it.
    I’m not a blog person, but I think yours is a great blog. Thank you for creating it.
