Arizona trip

I recently completed a excursion to Arizona. It was a photo/show trip with visits to The Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and Las Vegas. I left Santa Cruz early a.m. and drove 10 hours to get to Vegas by nightfall. It was cold but the nightlife and lights of the city were going at a fast and furious state. The next morning I drove to the Grand Canyon and due to the ice on the roads and the numerous truckers it took a lot longer than the 5 hour drive I had expected. The longer drive actually put me in the canyon in the late afternoon and it was as spectacular as everyone has always said. The conditions were bitterly cold but the clarity was great. I then drove to Flagstaff for the evening and left early the next morning for Horseshoe Bend in Page to shoot the Colorado river at a unique vantage point.

So that was the photo part of the trip which was at times boring, cold and very long drives from one location to another. After leaving Page I headed down to my show in Tucson on 4th Ave.
The weather was a nice change from all the snow and the people there were friendly and fun.

All in all I am happy to be back and working on all the new images I got to be added to my website soon.

Wishing everyone a healthy and Happy New Year!

Photo contest news

I entered the Professional Photographer cover photo contest a few month ago and although I didn't win the cover, I did receive an honorable mention. The contest had almost 4600 entries and my "1 Lucky shot" image was shortlisted to 16. So, that's cool. I am featured on the website as well as published in the November 2009 magazine issue.

I am also featured on Coast Magazines website with a selection of my Big Sur photos this month.

I find the Internet is a great way to get my images seen as well as a great marketing tool.

My first blog

Welcome to my blog,
So a blog is actually short for web log.....
interesting, I just learned that one.
I found this blog host free account ....
another cool fact I learned today.
I'm not the brightest bulb in the Home Depot Lighting department, but I do make attempts at things I'm not familiar with.
Why would people even want to read a blog?
Not sure about that one....but I'm anxious to find out.
I have investigated that many other photographers out there in cyberspace have these BLOGS.
And they give helpful information and interesting topics to explore.
I like that.....I think I can give that a whirl.
Hopefully, you the reader, will enjoy the information I can provide and learn something from it.
I mean that's what these blogs are for, aren't they?
So I'll leave it at that and I will write about photography, art, shows and whatever strikes me.
I would love to hear from you. Your comments are appreciated.
