Something Sunday --- Catch Up Time

Well the drawback to having a something Sunday was just learned by me this last week.  You see I had the great pleasure of driving to visit the daughter during the Thanksgiving break.  Loved it and just for the record eastern Wyoming and Nebraska should only be driven at night!!!  Just saying.  No this blog has nothing to do with my trip yet but it does have some photos I have been working on for a while now.  It was a difficult shoot as to me they are not the most beautiful thing around I am usually cursing them poisoning them or pulling them but hey I was asked and as a photographer I cannot avoid a challenge!  Let me know what you think. 

Well the dog went on a walk with me to get these photos and I think she believes I am crazy laying on the ground shooting these....  had a lot of fun and enjoyed it hope you do as well!

Something Sunday --- Kart Races

You know every once in a while I just flat get amazed by some things.  You see I have been in go-karts before at Toads and at Boondocks must say I am not impressed.  They are governed and you can not go super fast, but a friend of mine told me about the Utah Kart racing circuit and invited me to the last races they had.  Unfortunately I was not able to stay for the championships something about a wedding to shoot...  But here are some of the cool shots I got that day.



Just so you know this is in the 4 year old class.




This is what I think is the teen-age group not positive how they are broken out into divisions?



Well let me tell you what!  I have a whole new concept of kart racing now.  These carts can go upwards of 85-90 miles an hour.  Well and you know me the photographer I had clearance to be on the track even: it was amazing to have these cars whipping by me some about 5' away.  Truly awesome experience and fun day.

Something Sunday --- Scott Kelby World Wide Photo Walk

Okay so I have pretty much been out of it the last 2 1/2 months now.  I am slowly getting back the surgery went well and I am getting range of motion back.  It has been a long road and it amazes you how having only one shoulder can slow you down so much!  This photo walk was my first foray back to photography since my surgery.  It was a lot harder than I thought as I was shooting one handed.  But these are my favorites of the day!



This was the shirt our Walk Leader was wearing.  I thought I would take a picture and I liked the way it came out.




This couple was following us or we were following them...  I warned them several times they would end up in a picture so here is my version!




This is C a very good photographer but as you can see a model as well!  Reflections are the best but not easy to capture.




Inside the library.  I really enjoyed the colors reflecting from these suspended panels.




My final picture of the day.  By this time my right arm was killing me.  I even switched to my lightest lens and it did not help.  I thought the subject matter was perfect my arm was killing so do cigarettes kill!

What a great charitable opportunity we had that day.  The money that was raised for sale of T-Shirts and things went to an orphanage.  I also learned USU is an awesome place to take some pictures.  A lot of little cubby holes and places to set shots up just wished I would have been able to shoot more!
