Two weeks ago, I published a few teaser images from a recent workshop that I did with Tyler Stableford in Moab, Utah.  And I’ve been pretty much bursting to share some more from that weekend.  So, here goes.  On the first day of the workshop, we had the chance to work with the cowboys and cowgirls who staff the ranch where we stayed.  I’ve never photographed anything like it before.  Stampeding stallions, steer roping, and a little downtime made for some pretty incredible scenery.  Devon, Jake, Melissa, Jill, Monty, and Chance (yeah, that’s right) were our models for the day, and they were naturals.  Or at least we were bossy.    I’m still cleaning the dust out of my gear, but it was definitely worth it.  Not only were Tyler and his assistant, Draper White, fantastic as usual, but I also learned plenty from the fellow attendees….a seriously talented bunch.  Thanks for another great time, Tyler.  Coming soon….Day 2 at Arches National Park!

    sick!!!!

Alex and her guests had a great time celebrating her first year.  Big brother Ben showed off his new tricycle (which also belonged to mom when she was his age!), and the cupcakes were a HUGE hit with the birthday girl. Thanks for letting me be a part of your big day, Alex!

One of the best things that happened to me as a child was being sent to Gilman School.  Outside of my parents, Gilman laid the foundation for my life to this point, and the further I get from my time there, the closer I feel to the place.  Maybe I just appreciate it more as I get older.  So I was really so excited to attend its San Francisco alumni event last week.  A few fellow alums and I grabbed dinner after the event.  Tim Holley came along.  Mr Holley, as he will always be known to me, is on the left.  He is also a Gilman alum and has been a teacher there for nearly three decades (he’s not really aging).   I also wrote about him last year when I went by the school for a drop-in visit.  He taught each of us African American Literature.  He coached each of us in baseball or basketball.  And he still cares very much about what and how we are doing today.  Sitting at dinner, catching one another up on the guys who weren’t present, listening to Mr. Holley’s remembrances of  less mature versions of ourselves, I kept thinking about how fortunate we were to have teachers like him.  I wish every child had a Mr. Holley at school.  And a Gilman.

As I was putting the lid on last year’s image library (which basically means I was moving the files off my computer to my 3 backup locations), I came across lots of images that I really love but hadn’t shared.  Let’s face it, when you take 40,000 images a year, not even a loving mother will sit through them all.  But here are 20 moments from 2010 that caught my eye the second time around.
