  • Horseshoe Bend, Page, AZ

    The Colorado River runs nearly 1500 miles from the northern part of Colorado down to Baja California, and is one of the major rivers on the western half of the US.  Near the northern border of Arizona just outside the city of Page, the river makes a 270º meander that will eventually form an oxbow…

  • Unbelieveable Beauty All Around Us

    I don’t know about you, but my life is busy.  Between work, running errands, taking kids to and from where they need to be, trying to spend time with my family, and squeezing in some sleep now and then, I’m swamped. Lately, especially, I’ve felt like little more than a robot or automaton that is…

  • Sunset Timelapse From Bogus Basin

    Last night the sunset put on quite a show.  I was lucky enough to be on Bogus Basin road, and captured the following:   Oh, and a little timelapse:   Enjoy!

  • Hiking With The Scouts To Shirts Lake

    This past weekend I had the opportunity to hike with my scout troop to an amazing place: Shirts Lake.  Located to the southwest of Cascade in southwest Idaho, this is a fantastic location to get away for an overnight camp.

  • Erica Paints A Chicken

    Today after work Erica (10) asked me if I’d like to see how she paints a chicken.  For whatever reason, this struck me as an excellent opportunity to dust off the old camera and throw together a time-lapse. Here’s the setup:  Kitchen table, tripod, Canon 60D, 24-105L (later swapped out for a Sigma 15-30), using…

    Lost Valley Resevoir

    This past weekend I had the opportunity to join the boy scouts on a campout.  We camped near the trail head of the Weiser River Trail near New Meadows, and while they rode their bikes down the trail to Council (about 24 miles or so) I headed up to Lost Valley Reservoir for some early…

  • Daddy Daughter Campout 2013

    This year’s daddy daughter campout was a great success!  We had more people than ever join us this year, and there was blood, sweat, and tears.  Oh, and snacks.  And campfire stories, hiking, swimming, and great memories made. Did I mention the snacks? We camped up in Garden Valley at the Hot Springs campground in…

  • The Maven Adapter

    Sometimes I come across an idea so brilliant I wonder: “Why didn’t I think of that?”  The idea I’m talking about here is called the Maven Adapter, which connects a camera to the end of an extension pole (like the ones used for paint rollers or window cleaners).  This is incredibly useful because it allows…

  • Malad Gorge State Park

    On the way back from a visit to UT this weekend, we stopped at Malad Gorge State Park in Idaho.  This is one of the 5 units of the Thousand Springs State Park system, and is AMAZING.  For starters, the gorge is literally right under the freeway, and they have a footbridge that spans the…
