The CHAIR

Sep 182012

Downtime.

Time to think about nothing.

I found myself about 15 miles from the job site. Lake Tahoe. Just a short drive over the mountain from work. This trip I carried a ton of baggage. All in my head. It’s been crazy stressful. For a while I have been living moment to moment. Looking in all directions for something to look forward to. In actuality there is lots to look forward to. Stress is blinders to a positive look at life. At Tahoe I found a Lifeguard chair. What a wonderful hour or so. I just sat and watched the water, trees, and my natural surroundings. Everything slowed down. From my heart rate to my stress. Wonderful!

I could not decide if I liked the color post or black and white.

Life is Crazy.

These past few weeks have been beyond insane. And without my photo time I may be going NUTS! Too much to tell. Too much poor me. But!!! I did get about an hour last week to run out to the Island and catch a few pixels of a pair of Great Horned Owls. Fun!

Last night we had the opportunity to go and see Sugarland in Concert. If you anything about me you know I love music. Especially from Jennifer Nettles vocal cords. She is awesome!!!!!! The rule of the concert was no professional cameras! What????? SO I took my point and shoot and my D4. Hey I am technically not a professional so my camera can’t be either! At one point I found myself arguing with the USANA staff that my D4 was a point and shoot. They backed off for a bit. Really? What am I going to do with Sugarland pic’s besides hanging them everywhere I reside…….

It rained a lot last night but the show went on!

I finally got my D4 and 600mm back from Nikon!

Wasn’t cheap to get the work done. Last night I had my first few minutes in weeks to get out and shoot. A big storm was heading across the Great Salt Lake. Grabbed the photo bag with all three cameras and most lenses, the 600 and tripods and headed out! From FBBR I drove out to antelope island and found 5 big bucks. Took a lot of photo’s. To my dismay when I got home I couldn’t download the images from the XQD card in my D4. I have tried everything! Man this is frustrating. The bucks looked great through the lens and on the viewer on the D4. When at FBBR I shot the clouds and landscape with the D800. Incredibly sharp images! I love it….

Stay tuned to see if I can pull the images from the card! They may be OK!
