Let’s get one thing out of the way: I’m not much of a photographer.
Oh, I own some cool cameras and carry around a sack full of Nikon lenses. But my still photography skills are limited. I’m more of a video guy. Hand me your cellphone, and I’ll shoot a feature!
Recently we bought our FIRST plastic pink flamingo. Airstreamers are supposed to love and own plastic flamingos, although no one is exactly sure why.
Proper photography challenges a different, albeit similar, skill set. I find it difficult to do both stills and video, or at least to do both simultaneously. So I usually shoot video instead of stills.
With that said, here’s a gallery of still images from our recent travels. We actually did a better job than usual this year of snapping stills along with my usual video shenanigans. I finally found time to cull through some of the images (a process I find more tedious than video editing!) and pull out a few faves.
Sunset sky in Roosevelt National Park -- we were treated to an UNREAL sunset one evening while touring Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. I shot video of this scene -- stay tuned.
Look carefully and you can see SEEMORE hiding in the tall grass.
Do you detect a theme here? BISON IN THE TETONS!
Nighttime in one of our favorite campgrounds, Gros Ventre in the Grand Tetons.
Gazing out over the lower falls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River. I worked at Canyon during college.
This was taken at our campsite in Las Vegas. There's a big real estate crisis happening right now in Vegas. Actually it's not a crisis at all, but rather a situation where real estate prices are coming back down to reality after a few years of ridiculous bubble mania. Anyway, there are lots of big mostly empty condo buildings in Vegas, places that were constructed but haven't yet been occupied. You can buy a condo cheap, but your building may be a lonely place.
Here's a young bison in mid-stride, running in Grand Teton National Park. Not much to say about this one.
