Flashing. Lights. Lights. Lights. | Oct 16, 2009

Quick post tonight, was a long day. Went and took some pics around downtown tonight and captured this image of a string of lights on a tree outside of Chronic Tacos (between 6th and 5th streets). I didn’t even know the place existed, but the food was good and I as I took my last [...] Read More

Sitting on the Dock of the Bay | Oct 15, 2009

The PCH area of California around San Jose, Monterey, and San Fran is one of the most beautiful areas in the US. This time two years ago I was lucky enough to stay in Capitola for a long weekend. The house we stayed in was a block from the beach which made taking pictures of [...] Read More

Da Zoo | Oct 13, 2009

Hit up Zoo Boise sometime. For a city the size of Boise, we have quite the diversity of animals and a very convenient location to see them at. The new African area especially is very nice. When we went on Saturday it was the birthday celebration for the two giraffes, Julius and Joseph, turning 4 [...] Read More

Tending the Flock | Oct 12, 2009

So yes, as odd as it sounds, Ketchum (or Sun Valley as most people know the area as), one of the more expensive resort towns, has a sheep festival. Called the Trailing of the Sheep Festival, the event is in it’s 13th year and is a weekend long celebration of all things sheep. At one [...] Read More

Taking flight | Oct 11, 2009

Busy, busy weekend. Went with a buddy on Saturday and shot pictures downtown all day at the market, zoo, and penitentiary. Then on Sunday drove up to Stanley for a sunrise and to check out the Trailing of the Sheep Festival in Ketchum (yes that is an actual event). Needless to say, I have a [...] Read More

A room with a view | Oct 09, 2009

Its amazing how “convenient” Glacier (and even more so, Yellowstone) are. You literally have all the comforts of home within a few miles of yourself, but you are in the middle of some of the most vast wilderness in the US. Kind of a strange paradox… Went to Glacier National Park two years ago for [...] Read More

Feeling Lucky | Oct 08, 2009

Went to Lucky Peak Reservoir today and shot some pictures now that the water level has dropped. Found a place to walk down to the water edge and shot a ton of pictures of the random debris that were stuck in the sand. The result was some unique pictures of bottles and other rusty stuff. [...] Read More

Little Bird with a yellow bill… | Oct 07, 2009

My dad, of all people, taught me the first part of that rhyme, and while neither appropriate or even relevant, I couldn’t think of any other title… One of the better zoos in the US is the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. It doesn’t even sound like a zoo from the title, but the reason it stands [...] Read More

Pecking order | Oct 06, 2009

One of the more amazing things I have been blessed to see in my lifetime is a Sage Grouse Lek. If you don’t know what this is you’re missing out (well not really, but its still pretty amazing). Sage Grouse, while mating, preform elaborate courting displays for days in the spring time. During these competitive [...] Read More

At home on the Farm | Oct 05, 2009

It is surprising to me every time I go home how many things there are to photograph. Literally I am surrounded by any medium I want; rusty equipment, old buildings, plants, and of course farm animals. But growing up, I just never seemed to notice any of this. I don’t know how I missed out [...] Read More
