Michele and I hadn’t seen one another in over a year, and we finally found time to get together this weekend.  Who knows when I’ll see her again (read “I HAD to bring my camera!”)?  Lucky for us we got a table near a window with some awesome light.  Dinner was great, but not nearly as good as the chocolate shakes!

 

 

 

 

Hello, Sébastien!  Sébastien and I finally met while he was celebrating his 13th week.  I helped him and his entourage, mommy Heather and daddy Chris, ring in the milestone with a few portraits.  Sébastien (his friends call him Seabass) is already just as cool as his parents and, as you can tell, beautiful. The eyes have it!  Thanks Heather, Chris, and EPGB for letting me spend some time with the newest member of the family.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

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!
