    Beach Camping on Arrowrock

    We camped on the beach at Arrowrock Reservoir on Friday night. If you were in or around Boise on Friday night, you know the weather was… CRAZY. There were some moments we were watching the lightning and hoping the tent would stay staked in, but it didn’t rain too hard. While the wind wasn’t much…

    MC-11 Works With EF-S Lenses

    I’ve used Canon cameras since 1996 when I picked up a Canon AE-1 at a second-hand store. When I got into digital, it’s been all Canon. The need has come to invest more in video in my side business, and Canon video just hasn’t been cutting it for me. I finally pulled the trigger and…

    Daddy Daughter Photowalk – MK Nature Center

    My daughter and I went for a photo walk-about on Saturday. I really love spending time with her. She’s genuinely curious about so many things. And excited by what she learns. She is sweet and silly, and just a joy to be around. Know what else? She likes to take pictures too. I gave her…

    A Horsethief Birthday Camping Trip

    My wife’s mom had a landmark birthday this week and we wanted to do something as a family to celebrate. So we took to the hills to enjoy God’s creation together as a family.

  • Adventure In Southeastern Oregon

    Adventure In Southeastern Oregon

    There are times when I have adventure withdrawals. My mind loses the ability to focus on anything except exploring the unknown or climbing a new peak. This last weekend, I grabbed my buddy Mark and both of our kids and we went exploring. We learned that it’s not wise to blindly follow the Google Map…

  • Bogus Basin Hike on Memorial Day

    Bogus Basin Hike on Memorial Day

    Our initial intentions were to hike at Boulder Lake for Memorial Day this year. Unfortunately, we got reports of snow on that side of the mountain that would likely keep us from making it to the lake. We weren’t about to let a little snow keep up from hiking, but we decided to change the…

  • Snowshoeing At Redfish Lake

    Snowshoeing At Redfish Lake

    I went for a short day snowshoeing into Redfish Lake near Stanley, Idaho. I’ve been looking forward to it for a few weeks. I rose early, 4 am, and headed up through Banks, then Lowman, then Stanley, and pulled off at the Redfish Lake turnoff. I arrived at about 6:45 and the light had just…

  • Birthday Photobooth

    Birthday Photobooth

    The years march on. There are many evidences of the passing of time, but none so obvious as the aging of your children. And my precious little girl has turned 9. That means, that it’s been 9 years since I tucked her tiny little body into the car seat at the hospital for the first…

    The 3rd graders at The Ambrose School participated in a great Olympic Games today. What a fun time. The kids had so much fun. Me too.

    I wanted to try out a simple 2 light setup. I talked my little buddy into doing a couple of boxer shots with me.

  • City Cattle Drive

    City Cattle Drive

    The Idaho Cattle Association turned 100 years old. How do they celebrate? Well, run some cattle up the middle of Chinden of course. 🙂 The event was short and sweet and I thought a fitting way to celebrate their centennial.

  • Cushing Reunion 2015 – Friday

    I didn’t take many photos on Friday. Friday brought hugs and goodbyes and a little camp cleanup.
