I can’t stress enough how important it is to have a good network with other professionals. Some photographers think they can go it alone and don’t need anyone else……until something happens.

Today I had lunch with a rockin local photographer - Doug Miranda. The area is lucky to have him, and I enjoyed getting to know him better!

Check out his site and blog when you get a chance!

Hi everyone!

I finally set aside some time to share a few images from our trip! There has been so much going on lately, but it is all so exciting.

Enjoy the images!

Our comfy ride (yeah right-but this truck was MUCH better than U-hu’s)

Of course, it was always VERY thirsty

One of many great sunsets along the way

This is what the road looks like after highway hypnosis sets in

Another great sunset

Another gas station

Ahh yes…..BLUE skies!

A huge storm over Nebraska

There we are again - filling up!

We stopped at a neat Veteran’s Memorial in North Platte, Nebraska

The entry to the memorial

The sculptures are carved into the stone

It was very impressive!

The flag needs to be replaced, but it is always good to see her flying

Another hotel stop

Another gas stop

Want some corn?

Big kitty at the Denver Zoo

A very rare snow leopard

A not so ferocious kitty

I love the colors!

I was going for a vintage, almost depression era look here

Another cool sunset - I think that’s a lenticular cloud

The west is awesome for scenery

Makes you want to go climbing huh?

I love this shot too!

Plenty of wind to power these

For scale, take a look at that yellow dot down the bottom - that’s a full size pickup!

One of many looooonnnggggg, open roads

The landscapes here are so beautiful

Did I mention how beautiful this area is?

A quick stop before Salt Lake City

I think this is rabbit weed, but it still looks cool

Another neat landscape

This cross was for a state trooper killed while on duty

The last beautiful sunset before arriving!

We made it into Dayton, Nevada today about 2:30! Our few days of rest in Wyoming/Colorado were awesome, and we really enjoyed spending time with family.

It has been a wonderful journey, and we are so thankful for all of the prayers and support that we have received from family and so many friends.

It’s going to take a few days to get life back together, and once I have my office setup I’ll have a huge blog post with loads of images from the trip.

So stay tuned, and thanks again!

Best Wishes,
Michael
