The whole middle part of the boat was open on every level, this level was called the Boardwalk, it was way cool.

Eastern Caribbean Cruise

Michelle and I recently took a voyage on a big boat called the Allure. Not sure where they got the name, but it was quite the ship. The boat was held together by over 1,400 miles of welds, that right 1,400 miles of welded metal, that's a boat load of welds! Here are a few seascape shots from our explorations.

Another Uintah Photo Opportunity

On Friday a small group of us set out to get some Great GoPro shots, and some Stellar Stills up in the Uintahs. It was beautiful weather and even though we didn't cover a ton of ground, we had a ball, playing with our cameras. Good thing Brant stepped up to the plate. We all wanted to be taking photos, instead of the other way around, it was pretty funny. Matt hucked some knarly stuff too, it's amazing what dudes will pull for a quick photo. Enjoy.


Matt sends it off a big jump.

Uintah Sled shoot

Me and a few of the boys went for a nice rip up in the Uintahs today. Hard to beat blue skies and a break from work.

Disney World Fireworks

For Christmas last year, we surprised our kids with trip to Disney World. We experienced record cold temps the week we were there, but that didn't slow us down at all. We still stayed out for the fire works each night.

Road side elk

On my way home from Jackson Hole Wyoming the other day, I noticed this herd of elk trotting along side the highway. So I pulled ahead of them, Jumped out, set up my camera, and fired away. It was snowing quite hard but it kind of added something cool to the photos.

Look, I'm alive

It has been over half a year since I have posted anything on this blog. In the last couple of weeks, I have been able to spend a lot of time up in the hills snowmobiling. Here are a few of the photos of the scenic views in the areas we have been riding. I can't post any of the shots of the new 2012 snowmobiles for a couple of months, but when I can, I'll be posting some of my favorite snowmobile shots that I have ever shot.
