Jenny Lake – Grand Teton National Park

July 29, 2010 1 comment

We made our annual trip to Jackson Hole Wyoming to celebrate the July 4th holiday.  My wife and I started going there when we were dating and have gone back year after year to hike to hidden falls and watch the fireworks show in downtown Jackson.  This year the weather was perfect on our hike to Hidden Falls.  Jenny’s Lake is in Grand Teton National Park just outside of Jackson.  We take the boat across Jenny’s Lake and hike up to hidden falls that’s located at the base of the Tetons.  I’ve included a few of my favorite photos from the day, enjoy.

Father’s Day Present

July 27, 2010 Leave a comment

My daughter made this camera in her 3rd grade class and gave it to me for Father’s Day.  I have a shelf in my office of old/collectible cameras, she made it specifically for that shelf.  It sits in front of all other cameras and is my favorite.

I’ve recently joined the bandwagon and upgraded my cell phone to a Motorola Droid smartphone.  It has a 5mp camera with a Dual LED flash and seems to produce decent images.  I recently purchased a camera application Vignette that has tons of options to apply to photos.  My favorite treatment so far is the Cross-Process of the Toy Camera.  Since I carry my phone with me at all times this gives me access to yet another camera at my disposal.  I’m not able to carry my 5DMII and G11 with me at all times so with this addition there isn’t a time when I don’t have access to a camera.

Enjoy -

Electronics

Last month my family and I traveled to Mexico for 1 week.  While we were down there I decided to pull all our electronic devices together just to see what all we had brought with us.  My kids were all surprised to see how much stuff we packed.  Most of what you see was used only on travel days.

1 – Macbook
2 – DVD Players
2 – Nintendo DS
5 – IPods
2 – Smart Phones
1 – Kindle Reader
1 – Video Camera
1 – External Hard Drive
5 – Compact Flash Cards & Reader
5 – Camera’s

The funny part was I needed a small hand bag just for all the power cords.

Surfing the Snake River

For the July 4th weekend we always head to Jackson Hole Wyoming for fireworks and hiking in Yellowstone park.  On our drive to Jackson we stop at the Lunch Counter Rapids on the Snake River.  It’s fun to watch the rafts full of people go through the rapids.  We’ve noticed more and more each year surf boards at this location.  It may be hard to tell but this surfer is going against the current, I’ve included a photo below of a small raft full of people as it went past the surfer.
