Moab

GUS_6644 Sometimes I really love my job! More so on the “fieldtrip” days than on the “sitting in front of  the computer for hours on end” days. This last weekend we had a workshop in Moab and it was so beautiful to be outside.  All the red rock, the perfect weather, having my camera and time to shoot anything that caught my eye. We had a model that we could work with or we could wander a bit on our own. Here are a few pictures from Saturday night.

Coming soon to a blog near you…

Lots and Lots of pictures!! Yeah, I know, it’s been awhile.  So the question that gets me is do I fill in the gap or just press forward from where I am?  SUCH a crazy, busy summer with many changes.

The one with the biggest impact on our family is that we no longer have Chris (our foster son) .  He moved out the last week of July. Three good years, lots of memories and a laugh that will echo in my ears for many years to come.  All good things  come to an end right? I guess it just caught us off guard.  He is with a new family and doing well.  Enough about that, it makes my heart ache.

For my loyal fans that have told me not to throw in the blog towel, thank you. It’s always nice to be missed.  And this blog  is the only semblance of a journal my posterity will have.  So I guess its worth it.

Your reward for looking today is this picture…GUS_5862

As recent as you can get. Taken just a few days ago. Is it just me or do they look way to old for their ages?

Run the Sky is Falling




Let me introduce my new favorite band... Run the Sky is Falling (aka Anthony Darling and Nic Fitzgerald) They were leads in Beauty and the Beast about a year ago and have continued to colaborate on their love of music ever since. This is a clip of their official first performance under this name. Please forgive the ridiculous looks of my children as they didn't realize I was video taping with my camera and apparently were quite disturbed by me holding my camera in place for that long. whatever.



Great job guys!!
