On the road from Las Vegas back to Ogden we got stuck in traffic along the Virgin River Gorge. Apparently something went down and they had to send emergency crews down the rock face close to I-15. Still don’t know what happened.
Cheers,
Took these from the boat while we cruised around the island of Manhattan.

. . . from NYC snaps. These are from Park City awhile back.

Julie and I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge while we were in NYC. It was awesome except for when I realized, halfway across, that the 2 pints of beer at lunch right before was probably not the brightest idea. First image was taken with my Yashica-D.
This is shot looking back at the Williamsburg Bridge and the midtown skyline.
The last shot was taken during a boat trip around the entire island of Manhattan on a different day.
Thanks for looking,
Cheers
We got into NYC kinda late the first day and our hotel was only a few blocks away, so we decided to walk to all the tourist spots that we otherwise weren’t going to spend daylight seeing. Not that there is anything wrong with wanting to sight see at these places it just wasn’t something we were all that interested in doing.

I read a story somewhere about that song and how Josh Ritter was inspired to write it (and the album) by touring around an egyptian exhibit at a museum in New York. (He lives in Brooklyn). I am pretty sure it was the Met because the Egyptian exhibit there was jaw dropping. We only got to see a few exhibits at the Met. (Egyptian, Classical Paintings and of course the Photo exhibit).
I think one could spend an entire 2 weeks in that museum and still not see everything. Anyway, here are some photos.
Thanks for looking.

Just got back from a birthday vacation to New York City. Here is a preview of photographs to come. Thanks for looking.

Haven’t posted for awhile. (God I feel like I start posts a lot with that sentence). Have been busy working a lot in the office as opposed to shooting so it was good to get to shoot some spot news on Friday. Although, good news for me means bad news for someone else in this case. A hundred year old home in Huntsville caught on fire. Fortunately, the people got out as did their 2 dogs. Their cats however were not so fortunate. When I showed up it looked like the fire was completely out. One of the fire PIO’s took me close to the house while crews were still working on cutting through to the attic and dousing the smoldering rafters. I was about twenty feet from the house when I saw small flames flare up out of the roof. Didn’t think it was going to erupt to full blow inferno levels within seconds but it did. At which point a police officer yelled at me to get the hell out of there. He must have been yelling at me for awhile cause I kept on shooting until it dawned on me that I was the guy being yelled at.
Thanks for looking.

Yet another shot from a ways back. They held the World Archery Champs at Lindquist Field in Ogden last August. Not an event that lends itself to a whole lot of variety. But it was fun.
Please click on photo for more photos and Thanks for looking.
