Sea Plane

These aren't particularly wonderful pictures, but I caught them at just the right time. We were on Lake Union in Seattle.

Mt. Rainer

This was taken from the top of the Space Needle.

Cherries

I like these as a set. Pike Place again.

Pike Place

Five Days and 357 photos later I got my pictures from Seattle. This one is from Pike Place Market...home of the best peach I have ever tasted. (and no the lizard isn't real)

Fishing

Again by Snow Lake. Courtney was close to catching fish :)

Parasailing Part II

Hook 'em horns.

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

Botanical Gardens

Old St. Hilary's

This was taken a few minutes before the sunset picture.
