Following a Dream in 2017 – Day 48 of 100

I spent a good part of today debating on whether I should upgrade my camera to a Sony Alpha 7rii. I’ve had my eye on this camera for years now because it’s received great reviews from the best experts. Only one thing keeps me from getting it: the cost. It’s naturally very expensive when you consider the camera plus the lenses I will need in order to have the right gear to capture the best shots. But I think I’m finally going to bite the bullet soon and get it!

It’s time!

Following a Dream in 2017 – Day 47 of 100

This weekend seemed to fly by! Then again, I guess all weekends seem to feel that way, especially during long work weeks. It’s raining outside again right now. It’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow, and then clear up for at least a week following that downpour. The fields around Los Angeles are very green, providing perfect photography opportunities for those who seek out the scenic sites to shoot and capture.

Time for bed now.

Following a Dream in 2017 – Day 46 of 100

I’m going to have another anniversary dinner tonight. The one on Valentine’s day was far from romantic, and my sweetheart deserves much, much better. So I’m taking her out again, the way it should have been done on the 14th, and I look forward to what I know will be a wonderful night with an amazing woman.

I captured the photo above in Albuquerque, NM. It was a stunning rainbow after a winter shower, and I shot it from an unobstructed view at my mom’s house. I will return to Albuquerque next month for my 40th birthday.

The news said this weekend’s storm was going to be the strongest in 7 years. From the looks of what I saw while driving–downed trees, flooded streets, malfunctioning streetlights–I believe they could be right. It’s rained 5 inches or so over the last half dozen hours. I can hear the steady beat of the drops right now as I write this blog entry, drops that are a reminder that my car could be in the middle of a pond tomorrow when it comes time to hit the road again.

Today’s picture is a shot of New Mexico back in January when a much smaller storm visited the high desert. I took it at sunrise.

Because Valentine’s day was this week, as well as my anniversary, today’s photo is for my girlfriend. She’s an awesome, beautiful woman who is incredibly supportive of my dreams and goals. Thank you for all that you’ve done, and I look forward to more wonderful dates with you as we continue our journey together.

I took the picture above at Taos, New Mexico several years back. The winter sunset was amazing that day!

Today’s shot is another one of Palos Verdes. I wish the day had been a little clearer that morning when I went to the coast with my camera, but you often don’t get all the right conditions weather wise when shooting.  I liked the look of the winding trail in this picture and matching blues of the sky and ocean. I think I’ll take another trip to this location soon, perhaps on an afternoon, to see what else I can capture and what else will surprise me.

Following a Dream in 2017 – Day 42 of 100

It’s Valentine’s Day and I’m heading out soon to have dinner with my girlfriend. I’m sure we are bound to see a ton of people at the restaurant, and I’m a little worried that our reservations won’t be on the list when we arrive (I called on the phone to confirm, but no one answered). It’s a first world problem, I know. I’m aware that I’m lucky I don’t have the problems we see in the news, so I keep that in mind as I head out for what I hope to be a lovely meal with lovely woman.

Today’s picture is from Palos Verdes. Please enjoy.
