His name is Walter

I lovingly refer to him as “Walter the Horse”

I think he was the highlight of the second day of shooting for the 3rd annual charity shoot.

Walter deserves his own blog post

(I’ll even throw in some pics of his chauffeurs)

I took these pictures July 3rd

Thought I’d post them to be seen… better late than never.
It’s a sign of all those from later in July and August to be posted some time soon.

See More after the Break (more…)

So it’s not often a portrait photographer would be putting his life and equipment on the line.

Sure an adventure photographer or even some kinds of sport photographers.
Absolutely for a wartime photographer …

But not a portrait or wedding photographer!!

Well I might not have died falling into the river I’d say 50/50 with the almost freezing mountain water. But it was sure possible to fall in and the camera woulda been toast.
And those rocks were crazy slippery.

Perhaps I’m a wimp or perhaps I want to make it into a bigger deal than it was.

UPDATE: I guess I was right in thinking it was pretty risky… here’s a story of an actual death

Let’s just say my heart was pumping getting out on the rock and the dang thing was slick as anything… but stephen thought ahead and put towels on the rocks … or it would have been impossible.

This is stephen getting the towels on the rock. Doesn’t really show that there was no easy way to get to the rock.

I’m sad I didn’t get him to take a picture of me on the rock… but my thoughts were elsewhere.

Might we add the obvious!! They were out on that log… they were pretty crazy too!

And stephen!! Well the kids just a stud… jumping around on those slick rocks!
Going back to my bag when the battery ran out. Etc Etc

Fun times!!

This is only the second time I’ve been up Big Cottonwood Canyon.
The first time was on a film set at night in winter, so that probably doesn’t count.

I went with a friend Beth and another photographer Jeffrey.
You can see Jeff’s work on flickr

All of my pictures from the event, keeping in mind I don’t know how to be selective are on SmugMug Gallery

I have set it up so the first 40 and then the first 80 are the ones that I prefer the most. So that way you don’t need to look at all of them.

We made 3 stops and throughout the canyon the fall colors were in various stages of brillance, but in most spots the trees were now devoid of leaves for the year… sad.

 

Lots of pictures of Aspens changing color

A Bunch of Pictures of the Storm Mountain area

I went crazy on taking pictures of this frost on the grass

Silver lake up at Brighton was partly frozen over.
This is where I actually placed the camera on the lake to take a few pictures.

The moon when we set off on our adventure was still full and hadn’t set yet.

Last weekend I traveled with 3 friends to Page, AZ

 

While there we visited Lake Powell hiked through a lesser slot canyon and did other smaller hikes around town.
Then on the way back to Provo we spent a few hours at Bryce Canyon National Park.

 

There are 4 galleries all require Flash to view.
