Officially Published!

Back in my last year of collage (2011), I was recruited to help make new informational signs for Mesa Falls, in Idaho. They are a set of water falls in Targhee National Forest. I went up several times and shot a whole list of things that needed to be re-photographed, you may remember this blog post. The group that was assembled to work on the project crumbled but I kept in contact with the forest ranger over the project, Sue. Four years later something came of it! I was 90% sure I wouldn't hear anything back, and that if my photos were used I would have no idea and I wouldn't get any credit or payment.  A few months ago she found me and told me that new signs were finally being made and that she didn't think any of my photos made it on the signs but I did make it on the website.  Last weekend we went up to the falls to look at the new signs and meet with Sue. We think at least one of my photos are on the signs, without credit, but I do have several photos scattered all over the website, some with credit, some without. Go take a look, my name is at the bottom of THIS page but look at the other pages and heck, assume any photos you want is mine since some of them may be.

I am thankful I got to work on the project under Sue who remembered me and my work. I am thankful I had a reason to wake up early and spend a few hours to myself photographing the landscape. I am grateful I got to go camping one night where no one else is allowed to camp with bear mace, that was cool. I am thankful I got a reason to explore parts of Idaho I would have never known about without this project. I am thankful I got published. I have a lot to be thankful for as a photographer.

Fog on the Butte

Spencer's Butte is a mountain that stands over Eugene, Oregon from the south.  While we were home for Christmas we took the hike to the top.  The whole way up was foggy and half-way up the baby was cold and crying.  Just over the ridge, just a bit from the top, I stopped walking and tried desperately to calm my baby.  At that same moment the sun came out and fog was rolling in over the rocks and trees.  The light was beautiful, it was time to photograph!  But I had a mad baby, and Ian (who continued up without me, I think on purpose)  had my backpack with my camera on the top of the mountain.  I know Ian didn't see me but I gave him an evil eye.  So is my life now, I guess.  The sun went back into hiding, my baby stopped crying, and went up the rest of the hill to a foggy landscape.  Brake out the tripod and make the best of it.  This is what I made.

Evening Walkabout

Sometimes the light outside is just so lovely it calls you out to photograph.  

I think many photographers feel this way and this day was definitely one of those days.  

I turned off the burners on the stove, told Ian dinner would have to wait, 

left him with the baby and went on a walk around our new neighborhood.  

It was nice.

Coast

A couple weeks ago we went and visited our families in Oregon for a week, and for a couple days of that week we stayed on the coast with my family, the Dixon family.  It was a lot of fun and I feel a got a few good shots out of it.  These are just the firsts of more to come.

Mesa Falls; Trip One

When I turned the corner to the falls and saw this,

I knew it was going to be a good photo-shoot.

I thought I would through one in without a rainbow.
