Lunatics Chasing Supermoons

Sunday and Monday nights treated us to the largest moon on 70 years. And the brightest. Challenge accepted Moon! I wanted to be well back from the Wasatch. I wanted the angle when the moon first appeared to be as shallow as possible, because the moon would be even bigger. To get that shallow angle,… Read More

The Great Zion Adventure, Part Two

Day two also began early. I was not sure exactly where I was meeting “the guys”, and I did not want them waiting for me, so I resolved to be first there. So I left Super 8 at 6 AM and went to a McDonalds- a combo McD’s and 7-11 if you can believe that…. Read More

Shooting With The Prince

I must say, this was a shoot we were all looking forward to. Cameron had been the prince at my daughters Ballet school for years, and we all loved him. He was a great dancer, but more than that, he was great to work with. But he grew up; got married, and moved away to… Read More
