AZ State Fair

We went to the state fair last weekend. Overall it was a fun experience, we got there just as the light was getting good. I know Arielle had a blast. For me, I think it was more about getting out and shooting than it was about making compelling images.



The Clovis Carnival had the dragon, this one had the Cobra. Later in the evening the Cobra lost a wheel and the riders were forced to disembark with a ladder.

One end of the chair lift was a huge purple gun.
"Arizona sky is nice and all, it beats NC sky hands dowe. But it's no Clovis Sky.
We saw some wedding photos where the photographer popped the flash and rotated the camera to give the swirling lights effect. I was demonstrating how to do this, if you had a flash, which my camera doesn't."

It's been a slow month. I haven't done much shooting or editing of what I did shoot. This is something from the end of July, shot as I was leaving my apartment.

Marriage Firsts

My wife is bad ass.

Inspired by Taylor, she decides it's time to take her first cartwheel as a married woman. Too bad she didn't have her wedding dress on. Cause that would really be bad ass. I guess it was just bad planning on my part.




After that she's like, "I put my hand on this cactus when I did a cartwheel so now I have to eat it."



Then her spidey senses go off and it's time to fly, there's crime to fight.



She ended not getting there in time, since this morning I get a call
saying the police found a dead body and can I go shoot the scene.

Maybe next time she'll get there in time.

that last part about the dead body is true, everything else may or may not be.
