Traditions

I mentioned a while back that I grew up hiking and camping with my Dad. We made it a 3 generation event this weekend with an overnighter to Wrightwood, CA. We made camp at Guffy and cooked hot dogs on the camp fire.


In the morning we took a nice 4x4 trail down to Lupine and took these great pictures.


We're looking forward to a lot more hikes and camp outs like this one.

What a pro!

A while back my wife entered a drawing for a free photo shoot by Lydia Tolman of LOYA Photography and won. Today was the day of the shoot and like most Men I was not overly excited. Lydia Tolman was a true professional. She never once got flustered by our rambunctious kids and truly seemed to enjoy her job. Here are a few of her shots, but check out her blog for more.

I Love...

New York. The shirts are so popular for a reason, I guess.


I'll be doing some other posts on specific experiences and lessons learned during my recent trip, but for now I just thought I'd let you know that the city was inspiring.

Unprofessional Photographer

It seems that many people I know are taking up photography as a business. I have no interest in doing so, but I do love to take pictures. We were visiting Wrightwood a while back with the Blumes and I shot this picture. I call it The Craiger.
