Living in Antartica

Image courtesy of {wikipedia}

This is a photo taken by someone down in Antarctica. It was a minute long exposure I believe. Such a cool place exists out there. A fun feeling don't you think. It's still one of my goals on my list to do some kind of documentary down in Antarctica. It would be a once in a lifetime trip. I love traveling to places I've never been before. Gives you such a sense of exploration. :)

Fiona's Blog

Make sure you keep an eye on Fiona's blog in the next coming months. I'll be heading out to Portland to help her move to Arizona, so the both of us are sure to give you alot to look at. :)

Tropical Storm Humberto

This could possibly delay my flight tomorrow. Hopefully it will stay far enough west that I'll be ok, but you never know with these things. Had a good time out here. Got some really good shoots done today at our Sunland Pipe Fabrication shop. Got some great shots of the grinders on the titanium pipes. They light up like sparklers when they do that. I got so close that a couple singed the hair on my arm, but the shot looks great.

Arizona Trip

Wanted to show some pics that I took while out in Phoenix this Memorial Weekend.

This was just behind Kirsta's place. Really awesome road. Shows the Mountains off in the distance. I think they're called superstition something, lol.



Cool house on the same road. Dad called Phoenix the land of cookie cutter development. It all does look quite the same, but at least it is good design. :)



Us before we got the flat tire on the interstate.



My sister Fiona, Kirsta's son tyler, and my Half-brother Chris.



Everyone sitting at the table playing Texas Holdem. It doesn't look like it from the picture, but it was actually a really intense night of playing cards, lol.



I took this on the flight back from phoenix. Turns out Colorado had some snow fall while I was gone. Quite a contrast from the 110 average down in Phoenix. : )

This trip was definitely a great one. I know for myself that I was able to go with an open mind and try to just be myself. We seem to have had a great time, and breakdown some of those barriers we had in the past. Some things still remain to be worked through, but its on its way to

becoming that which I hoped it would. It's interesting how short trips can change so much, and put a lot of your own life into perspective. More soon. :)

Baton Rouge Trip

I am going to be in Baton Rouge all this week shooting an event and some job sites for the company. Should be fun. I will be there for about 3 and 1/2 days and about a full days travel time because of lay overs. That kinda sucks but its not too bad. I love traveling so I'll have fun. Plus it will give me a chance to catch up on some reading. I will be bringing a Sony VX2000 camera, the canon SLR still camera and a laptop so I shoukld be able to do some blogging while I am there. Hopefully I get some good shots. I will get a chance to see Downtonw New Orleans on Wednesday, so that will be awesome. I don't think I will be able to get to Burbon street or the french quarter, but I will do what I can. : )

Virgin Galactic

Its still my dream to do this one day ; ) The most amazing way to experience our world. ; )

"Virgin Galactic plans to fly 500 passengers a year at about US$200,000 each, to an altitude of over 100 km, with a total weightless time of 7 minutes.
Only about 500 people have been off the planet and gained their astronaut wings since spaceflight began in the 1960s, and even fewer have orbited the Earth. Current commercial flights to space, provided by the Russian Space Agency, cost roughly US$20 million for a six-day orbital flight.[1]" ~ Wikipedia.org
