Cosmo!

I assisted on a photoshoot for Cosmo's Alaskan bachelor of the year. The location was the sand dunes at Kincaid Park which overlook Turnagain arm. I never even knew this place existed! Gorgeous day and fun shoot!

The Bolinas Fourth of July parade is always a fun time!Fooling around with the pro HDR app on my iphone...I actually didn't bring a "real" camera this year, but ended up taking just as many pics with my phone!Easy Rider meets Toy Story

location scouting

I took these pics yesterday during a location scout for a feature film. It's near the Eklutna River, which empties into the Knik Arm of Cook Inlet. It's only a 30 minute drive from Anchorage. I had no idea it was so beautiful out there!This beach and grassland is behind a locked gate, accessible only to the tribal council and to the community for subsistence fishing. It was so quiet and peaceful.The Eklutna River is really lovely, but I must bring hip waders next time!

Dewy

It was a dewy morning my last day in Bolinas, and it looked amazing in the spider webs on the porch! Click on pic to see it bigger, it's pretty cool!

Catching up

I'm visiting my family in California for a few days, and it's been great to catch up with everyone! My dad pointed out I haven't blogged since May, so I thought I'd do a quick update! My mom and I took a Segway tour in Newport Beach the first day I got to California. It was a gorgeous day at the beach, and super fun to drive (ride?) a Segway, I highly recommend it! While driving up north to visit the other side of my family, my nephew had to pee, so we pulled off onto a nondescript turnoff, walked a few feet into the woods and found this! What a nice surprise, you'd NEVER know it was there from the road!My nephew Uriel's favorite form of transportation! A couple of pics from the beautiful Alaskan summer.My coworker got an adorable puppy! I had to go to Juneau for business (which I'll blog about soon). Gorgeous day with the typical Juneau summer elements-a cruise ship and float plane.My dad and stepmom's incredibly generous birthday gift-an Ipad! Well, a gift card for an Ipad. I'm so excited to get it, I know it will motivate me to organize my photos better and hopefully blog more often!
