Jackson Hole 2010: Oxbow Bend
Wednesday, 6 October 2010, 5:00am
Oxbow Bend at Teton National Park. After visiting the north shore of Jackson Lake, we made our way back to OxBow Bend to watch the sunset. We were able to see a moose and enjoy some additional fall colors. Enjoy.

Jackson Lake at Teton National Park. After spending some time at Jenny Lake, we made our way past Willow Flats Overlook and headed north toward Jackson Lake Overlook. It was beautiful with the trees, the lake and the sun. The sun was starting to set making for some wonderful photographs.
Jackson Hole 2010: Fall Colors
Monday, 4 October 2010, 5:00am
Fall Colors in Teton National Park. Just some additional fall color photographs taken from Willow Flats Overlook and up along the road toward Jackson Lake Overlook. It was getting later in the afternoon and some clouds were slowly rolling in from the North West making for some great photographs. Enjoy.
Jackson Hole 2010: Jenny Lake

Jenny Lake at Teton National Park. We spent some time on the south side of Jenny Lake and then went up to the north end and by the time we got there, the wind had calmed down and the lake was like glass. There is a scenic drive to get to the Jenny Lake Overlook. It was beautiful.
Jackson Hole 2010
Sunday, 3 October 2010, 8:02pm
Jackson Hole 2010. We decided to take a weekend trip up to Jackson, Wyoming and enjoy Teton National Park. I brought along my camera and was able to capture some great photographs and the beautiful fall colors. We left Friday afternoon and got into the Teton Village after 9pm and crashed for the night. Saturday was spent running around Teton National Park and capturing pictures. We watched the sunset at Oxbow Bend and went back into town. Sunday we enjoyed the sunrise and made our way back to Salt Lake.
I managed to take over 1000+ pictures and have many to share. I used my Nikon D300 and my AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lens for most of the photographs. My Canon SD780 IS captured a few. The tripod was used for a majority of the shots. The photographs were prepared using Aperture 3. I used Photomatix Pro for the HDR picture. Enjoy the pictures. There are many more coming…

Sanpete County
Sunday, 7 March 2010, 5:57pm
Sanpete County. I took this picture while driving down to Sanpete County for the funeral of Charlie’s nephew Wesley. Sanpete County is located in the central part of Utah just over two hours south from Salt Lake. The valley is beautiful year round and this weekend was no exception. We got several inches of snow Friday morning and luckily most of it melted off by the afternoon. Charlie’s sister told me that once you enter Sanpete County, time slows down and you go back a many years to another time.

Flying Over Salt Lake at Night
Thursday, 5 November 2009, 5:00am
A few weeks ago we were able to go flying with some friends. Our friend Mark is a pilot and has access to airplanes. We decided to go flying and also grab some dinner by flying to the Ogden Airport and have dinner at Rickenbacker’s Bistro & Restaurant. We were able to fly in, park the airplane outside the restaurant and walk in. It was really fun. It reminds me of growing up and my grandmother would fly into the old NutTree Airport in Vacaville. I took about 1500 pictures and most of them were damaged because my CF card became corrupted. Here are some pictures that survived the flight.
I think this is a really cool photograph of us landing at the Salt Lake International Airport. Our little Cessna airplane uses the same runway as the huge jetliners that come and go from the airport. After flying over and seeing some of the other airports in Utah, the Salt Lake airport looked like the Vegas Strip will all the lights.
We were able to circle over Salt Lake a few times. I was able to get some good pictures of the Salt Lake Temple all lit up. I was actually trying to get some shots of the City Creek Project. You can see Tower 1 on Block 76 all lit up and some of the other buildings that are rising in downtown Salt Lake. It looked really beautiful at night. It was also much better in person. Eventually my photographs will catch up.

Jackson Wyoming Trip
Sunday, 1 November 2009, 8:00am
A few weeks ago we took a trip up to Jackson, Wyoming. It was a fun trip and we were able to get away from the hot summer of Salt Lake and enjoy the cooler weather of the mountains.
We went Kayaking on Jenny Lake and I took a video with my iPhone. I need to start taking some more videos and posting them online. I figured I could hit two birds with one stone and posted the video to Facebook.
The trip was really fun. Mark and Jeff came along and we stayed at the Terra Hotel just outside of Jackson. We were able to spend some time in the city and get a few drinks at the Million Dollar Cowboy. Charlie picked up a shirt and a hoodie. We took the tram to the top of the mountains and were able to get some great views of the valley below. Jackson is a fantastic weekend getaway that is really close and offers lots of attractions. Maybe next time we’ll get to do some horseback riding or go further into the park.
Some black and white photographs that I took of the mountains. Most of them were edited with a red-filter which really makes the mountains and the clouds punch. I need to double check my settings, but it appears that I probably had my ISO setting too high because some of the pictures look like they have too much grain.
