Photos: Las Vegas Neon
On our recent and most likely our last trip to Las Vegas for awhile (time to visit other cities!) we toured some vintage neon. Below you’ll find some beautiful, old and iconic neon signs. Enjoy! The tour of the Neon Boneyard Park is so worth the visit. The tour and the stories are so awesome – these pictures don’t clearly convey the vastness of it all. Hearing all the interesting background stories on the photos above is worth the visit. Give yourself a couple of…

Photos: San Francisco
San Francisco! When I was 18 I lived in Santa Clara, California for about 6 months. It was awesome…I missed my family, yet made friends and quickly found out that San Francisco was referred to as “the city”. Well, let me tell you, it lives up to it’s name. Here you’ll find ways to see San Francisco as a local, yet also do some of the touristy things the city is know for – like the Cable Car. I’ll walk you though our 2 night,…

Photos: Mexico
Before the Trip Crossing the border into Mexico – through San Ysidro, San Diego. The plan – visit Tijuana, Mexico for a few hours while we were vacationing in Southern California. I called our car insurance provider to ensure we would be covered if something happened – minor damage all the way up to third party liability – she said no. Actually, she screamed NO in capital letters causing me massive frustration. In response I articulated that we were not the first, surly, to venture…

Photos: Pacific Costal Highway
Pacific Costal Highway The highway was beautiful – I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking. We travelled down the Pacific Costal Highway over a couple of days – it was a little tricky in our Boler, yet Bryce managed well. Be sure to stop a long the way, enjoy the ride and take in the view. Elephant seals on the coast – playing and swimming ashore. Something funny – there are campsites right on the shore, you won’t be able to sleep much…

Photos: Detroit
Detroit A few weeks ago I was in Detroit and I took some shots in the heart of the motor city. These photos make me happy and make me sad, all at once. I love Detroit and as a kid I used to dream of living in the big city – and Detroit was the closest big city. Baseball games, huge highways, towering buildings, and fancy airports. It was like the hub of awesomeness. I remember, as a kid, going to Tiger’s Stadium (that was…

Photos: Moose
A Moose! Two of them! In my backyard! So unbelievably awesome! Moose This happened on Sunday – yesterday – and just the day before I finished a photography course at a local university on how to use my camera in manual – like do everything in manual. Perfection – Pressure. Those are the two things I felt. Nothing like a little pressure, or an 800lbs momma moose in your face to make all of your knowledge come back so you can get a great shot.…

Photos: Holiday Christmas Card
Merry Christmas!!! This is our family holiday Christmas card – and, oh what fun it was!! First, the average temperature here in Norther Alberta has been right around -23 degrees C. Yucky. The couch is real – it’s really in the snow – no photoshop. The couch lives in our basement and well, this photo shoot took 6 hours, spread over 2 days (about 6 days apart). So, not only was this a photo shoot, it was also an arm workout, and well, I won’t…
