(Taking a break from vacation photos…)
A friend and I decided to wander around Napa today and just shoot. It’s pretty fun to look at this town through photographer eyes instead of as a resident. What I shot today: Random lightpoles with funny stickers, the old building that I’d kill to have as a studio, people enjoying Angele’s patio, the striking colors of the Fish Story patio, the cool signs at Morimoto, the super comfy chairs at Tyler Florence, the river walk, the doors at the Uptown and random details throughout downtown.

Ah, Vegas. Finally the part of the vacation that felt like a vacation. I spent every day at the pool (until we got kicked out almost every day because of lightning), reading my book and sweatin’ up a storm. The good ol’ Excalibur now has an adults only pool which ROCKED. I hung out with some coworkers in my 5 days in Vegas, went to some random clubs & bars, met a cool guy from Michigan at one of the bars in NYNY and pretty much did nothing. It was great.

After a quick nap in the Kaibob National Forest, I made my way from the Grand Canyon back to Hurricane, UT. Zion National Park is only about 30 minutes from Hurricane, so since I was *right there* I couldn’t pass it up! I headed up to Zion before heading back to Vegas.

Wednesday morning, July 6, I left Hurricane, UT, for the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It’s quite an impressive hole in the ground. I can’t wait to get to the South Rim to compare notes.
(Someday I’ll figure out WordPress. Please excuse the silly gallery post. Just click on the photo to open the gallery and then you can scroll through!)

Yes – this is post #2. You’ll recognize some of the same photos, but I’ve now moved my blog to WordPress so I wanted to test out a new photo size…

I’ve known Dan since I was 19….so like 2 years now? Ha. Just kidding. I’m thrilled to see him so happy with Michelle – and she’s so awesome! Match made in heaven, those two. We had a great day of shooting around the Valley, with all of the fall colors and amazing clouds.

Thank you again to Colorful Harvest for sending me purple artichokes! These worked out perfectly for my shoot and I am so grateful to them for that. Oh and they were delicious….extra hearty.

I took this shot way back earlier this year at Avila Beach in SLO. If I could take it again, I’d do many things differently, but for now, it is what it is….and I do really need to go back!

Expect more pretty produce from me here – I’m going to be on the hunt for perfectly photogenic produce for awhile. Next up, our labor-intensive-but-lovable artichoke!

Photoshop actions, that is. I downloaded some new actions and had some fun! These photos are from a shoot I did when I first got my 5D Mark II. This was quite a while ago and I’m bummed I hadn’t edited these before now. A lot of these are outside my comfort zone as far as style, but it’s been really fun to mess around with the curves and colors and all the different actions. Some of the actions I used were: cross processing, vintage, oversaturation, texturizers…and a lot more. I had so much fun!
After the “official” photoshoot, a couple of us went to Sonoma Square to be silly…hope these make you giggle…
This is The Ballpark Band’s official band photo! (don’t they look like a band?? Love it.)
This is The Ballpark Band after a long set, takin’ a break.

Monday, I had the opportunity to work a booth promoting Bandits at the Mario Batali Foundation Golf Tournament in LA. It was cold & dreary (I know! In LA!) but a good time nonetheless.
The highlight of my day was meeting Vinnie Jones (Snatch, Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Gone in Sixty Seconds) – I heart him. Love those movies and he was SO nice in person! I even got a hug.
Here are others just for fun….
