Tuesday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!

Well it’s that week between Christmas and New Years when things can be a little slow. I think that we all kind of get in the holiday mode and there can be a lot going on or not much depending on what’s going on in your life. A lot of us have been spending time with family and friends on Christmas and then I’m sure there might be a celebration or two next weekend with New Years. Normally for us things are pretty slow work wise this week, but not this year. We’ve got a couple of shoots to do and then some editing, so we’ll rock and roll this week and get things banged out! Already things are starting to get booked up for 2017, so that’s a very positive sign of things to come!

I’ve got a couple of our snaps from the Grand Canyon back in October and it’s a very special place.

Ok, we’ve got a few more days until the end of the year, so let’s make it a good one! If you’re going to be out next weekend for New Years, have fun, but be safe! Call a cab or an Uber, we want you around for 2017!

Have a great rest of the week and thanks as always for checking out our work!

Monday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!

Well it’s that time of the year when things are winding down as they usually do. With Christmas being next Sunday and New Years in two weeks, we are all thinking about those holidays and not so much about work. It’s a time of the year to spend with family and friends and think about life’s blessings. It’s also a good time of the year to reflect on things that have happened in 2016 and look forward to 2017.

Here’s one of our photos of Peoria and as I always like to say, we’ve got a good looking city!

If you’re traveling this coming weekend for Christmas, make it a safe one and enjoy the holiday!

We hope that you have a great week to come and thanks as always for checking out our work!

Monday morning Alabama greetings to one and all!

Jan and I are out here on the road for the last road trip gig of 2016! It’s been quite a year and we’ve been on the road a fair amount for us! Trust me, I know a bunch of road warriors that are out on the road for work many multiple times more than we are and it amazes me how much these friends are out there! I’ve always had a bit of a love hate relationship with being on the road and for the most part we really enjoy it! There are times when you are just traveling and traveling and that can really get to you after a while if you do it too much. Once you reach that point, you’re ready to be home and sleeping in your own bed and eating your own food! Fortunately for us, we haven’t really hit that max time where it’s become too much and that’s a good thing! A week or two on the road and then back home for a few weeks to a month can be a very wonderful thing!

We’ve got a couple of photos from our Western road trip back in October to share and I think that this is our last one from that road trip! We were out in Salt Lake City for a day before flying home and Jan and I were able to visit the state capital building and shoot a few photos! Not having ever been inside, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I have to tell you that my jaw was wide open once we walked inside! What an incredibly beautiful building and the stone work was not to be believed! They sure don’t make buildings like this anymore!

Here’s a few of our snaps from the Utah State capitol building in Salt Lake City!

It’s time for us to get to work, so we both hope that you have a great week and thanks as always for checking out our work!!!!

Monday morning Alabama greetings to one and all!

Well it sure was a quick turn around for us this weekend! We flew back from Salt Lake City on Saturday evening and did a little laundry and repacked clothes and photo gear and then on Sunday drove down to Auburn, Alabama for our shoot this week! Sometimes our schedule is like that and you go from one place to the next on a very short turn around, but that’s also what makes life more interesting!

We had a great Western road trip and were able to see a number of different places in the Utah and Arizona areas. Lots and lots and lots of nature photos have been shot this past week and we’ll be sharing some of those in the coming weeks!

One of our stops was the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and it’s one of those areas that you set as a destination because it’s not on the way to anywhere! For those that have been to the Grand Canyon, there is a slower pace to a visit to the North Rim versus the South Rim. The number of tourists at the South Rim can be very overwhelming and unless you get on some of the trails, you can be elbow to elbow at some of the viewing areas. The North Rim is a lot less congested and it makes a visit a lot more serene and relaxing!

Here’s a couple of our snaps from our visit to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Thanks as always for taking the time to check out our photos and we hope that you have a great week to come!

Monday morning Peoria greetings to one and all!

Well we got the first snowstorm for the coming winter season yesterday and it was a little more than the local weather people had bargained for with their forecasts. In Peoria they had talked about maybe an inch or so of snow in the morning and then the snow would turn into rain for the rest of the day and all the snow would melt. Needless to say the rains never came, but the snow sure did! When it was all said and done, I’m thinking that we got 4″ or 5″ of snow on Sunday. I guess that winter is here!!!

One of our stops back in October was the ghost town of Minerva in Central Nevada. It’s one of those places that you have to plan your visit, because it’s not on the way to anywhere. Minerva is about 60 miles Southeast of Ely, Nv. and the buildings there are the remnants of an old Tungsten mine that shut down in 1940.

Jan’s photo this week is from the ghost town of Minerva and my photo is from a wind farm just North of Minerva.

Thanks as always for taking the time to check out our work and we hope that you have a great week to come!
