Last week I sent away my smartphone to Samsung. The week before, it had begun to overheat and destroy my batteries, so I sent it in for repair. I knew I had become used to having a continuous connection to the world, but I had no idea how bad it really was. This morning I…

Quick Trip To McCall Idaho
A quick road trip to McCall Idaho this morning brought some really cool photo opportunities. I pulled off the road at Sugarloaf and saw this amazingly huge Golden Eagle landing in a tree. I tried to get a little closer but I could only get within about 60 feet. The shot I’m sharing here is…

Shoshone Falls In 30 Minutes
I was meeting a colleague in Twin Falls this morning. As usual, I was early. Quite a bit this morning. I was there half an hour early. On top of that, the person I was meeting called and said they would be half an hour late. That left me 1 hour to kill and I…
