Parasailing

This is Marina and George parasailing over Lake Tahoe. (Don't feel left out Jordan and Courtney your photos will be up tomorrow :))

Reflection

This is where I camped in Tahoe. Snow Lake. Absolutely freezing but it felt amazing after a 2 1/2 hour hike.

Close up Courtney

My sister is gorgeous.

Lighting

The light makes the green pop.

Coils

This was the back seat of this broken down truck we found in Alta Lakes in Colorado. Here are some pictures of the truck so you can see how old it was and "the shot" :)

RAW

I would like to stress the importance, to me, of raw, original, and unedited photography. It is all complete personal preference but anyone can take a photo of a flower and change it up to look cool on iphoto. What makes me the happiest is experimenting with three main elements....

1. composition,
2. light,
3. and color balance.

Once I find the best combination of all three and I nail the perfect shot I am accomplished and satisfied...no computer necessary.

Shrine

Another view from the Helicopter...

Hanalai Bay

Horray for point-and-shoot cameras! I got this one of Hanalai Bay in Kauai from a helicopter! We took a tour and got some awesome pictures.

Botanical Gardens II

The color here was amazing when the light hit it like this

Botanical Gardens in Kauai

I instantly loved this statue as soon as I saw it.

In honor of summer.....

In honor of summer just starting I'll be posting pictures from my vacation last summer to Hawaii over the next couple of days. This one is from Kauai at a tourist destination called Spouting Horn.

Fireworks

Not my best picture but fireworks are hard. This was in Lake Tahoe, I was on our family friends boat on the fourth of July watching fireworks directly above us on the water.

Photoshoot

I took this of Audrey, while my dad took this other of me.

Dye

I was inspired by my sixth grade science project.....I know I'm cool ;)
