For nearly 40 years, the folks at the Utah Department of Natural Resources have gathered the bison herd on Antelope Island to check their health and manage the population. This annual roundup draws people from all over the world, young and old, locals and travelers. This year, I chatted with a couple from Canada and a gentleman who had come all the way from Argentina.
The rider pictured here was an Utah native who’s been part of the roundup for years. At 80-plus years old, he told me he might only have a few more rides left with his trusty horse who’s now over 20 years old itself. But from what I saw, he looked tough as nails and ready for another day in the saddle.
Before the roundup began, I asked if he’d take a few warm-up laps around the open field. He grinned and asked, “Walk or run?”
“Run, of course,” I said.
And run they did.
From his hat, I’d guess he once rode with the U.S. Cavalry, the kind of man who’s spent a lifetime charging into life full stride, horse and all.
I think the round-up brings back a sense of history. A way to remember and maybe even romanticize today’s cowboys and cowgirls.
Let me stay here in this moment until time stands still and silence speaks its own refrain if you but listen.
Let me hold memory in one hand and joy in the other and breathe in the sweet stillness of hope.
And then, my dear, let my pen sing the songs that my voice cannot. #sweeterpoetry
|| favorite moment of the day, hands down: playing a grand piano in a wine cellar in Mendoza, with prime acoustics and the simplicity of wood mixed with the smell of wine and shadows ||
Do not trouble your hearts overmuch with thoughts of the road ahead. Maybe the path that you each shall tread are already laid before your feet, even though you do not see them.

Droppin' in to say 'hey' to my favorite group! Jackie and I are still on our road trip, and currently hanging out with Kacey & Aurelia in Portland. Love those girls, love their city! They have been gracious hosts and we've had so much fun sight seeing, hiking, eating great meals, having lively discussions on Flickr, Photography and Photoshop .... all accompanied by tasty beverages of course!! :-)
All of us are heading to the coast tomorrow for a couple of days. I can't wait to set my feet in the Pacific again!
This image was taken just before sunrise, out on the boardwalk at Fountain Paint Pot in the Lower Geyser Basin. The Nikon shots are most epic ... and one of the coolest shots was of a bear strolling across the basin in the distance!!
I took this with Camera+ and slid it around a bit on my iPhone with ColorVu! A few of you may have already seen this on Instagram!!
Happy Sliders Sunday ... and now for a little bit of Eddie:
Orbiting at Gerdes
Something circular was placed and left on the junk yard car hood expediting its decay. Once removed, a planet was born nicely orbiting in my imagination. It brings a bit of drama in color and texture along with a sense of motion. Light nicely reveals every nuance.
Single layer (Not a composite) junk yard shot with a touch of added saturation - but not much.

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.

First in a new series documenting the natural beauty of my town.

I was photographing a group of teenagers hanging out on the rocks by the sea. As they waited for the sun to set; the surf crashed at their feet. They were full of life, their noisy laughter drifting up to me on the boardwalk. All of a sudden, in the midst of a huge sea spray, this young lady through her arms wide open ... embracing life ... [click] [click]. It was a wonderful moment!

One of my favorite memories from our entire adventure down the west coast was our first night in California. We stayed at an old, friendly Inn right on the beach and spent the evening searching for sand dollars.
As the sun was going down we finally found one tucked away below the current. It made the trip back with us to Vermont; a keepsake from a perfect evening.

"We need the tonic of wildness—At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be infinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable.
We can never have enough of nature. We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast and titanic features, the sea-coast with its wrecks, the wilderness with its living and its decaying trees, the thunder-cloud, and the rain which lasts three weeks and produces freshets.
We need to witness our own limits transgressed, and some life pasturing freely where we never wander" 👟
— Walden by Henry David Thoreau
The evening wasn't looking like it would produce a nice sunset, but all of a sudden: the sky was on fire! I love the reflected color in the potholes!!! I have so many wonderful shots from here ... where to begin???
I've been really enjoying the new Mumford and Sons "Babel" album ... love "Broken Crown!" The song has nothing to do with this image other than the fact that it was the song playing when I roared out of La Jolla after this sunset!
♫ Mumford and Son – "Broken Crown" ♫

Project 365
Wednesday • October 20, 2010
I chased the light all the way up to Lake Bluff yesterday morning; and arrived just as the sun started it's ascent from the lake. As I clicked away, I was thinking of Lakeside Park. It doesn't have much to do with this image other than the "Lakeside Park" bit! The title is a bit of lyric from the song ... and who doesn't love a little bit of Rush every now and then; or is it just me getting all nostalgic for some mid 70s jams?
I dedicate this image to a fellow light chaser Heather, aka hms_chic, who rocks the rising and setting of the sun! Check out her sets for both!
“ 'Anything I learnt would have to be justified by private benefit rather than by the interest of others. My discoveries would have to enliven me; they would have in some way to prove ‘life-enhancing’.
The term was Nietzsche's. In the autumn of 1873, Friedrich Nietzsche composed an essay in which he distinguished between collecting facts like an explorer or academic and using already well known facts to the end of inner, psychological enrichment”
— The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton

Spent the entire day driving ... Missouri ... Oklahoma ... Texas Panhandle ... New Mexico. Arrived in Santa Fe just before sunset and spent an enjoyable hour on an empty stretch of highway photographing the sun setting behind the mountains, horses and of course some fences!
We are staying two nights at the El Rey Inn, a motor court built in 1936 on what was originally Rt. 66. We wanted to stay in a place that captures the flavor of this beautiful city! Today, we plan to explore from sunrise to sunset starting off with breakfast at Pasqual's (recommended by the proprietor)! I'll let you know how it was!
Have an awesome Wednesday everyone! Miss ya'll!! :D
