For those of you that didn’t know (and like to keep up with my travels), I was lucky enough to take a vacation in Wales earlier this summer. Wales is my fathers home, and it’s a beautiful country. I have travelled to Wales, off and on, for almost 30 years. Of course, I didn’t always have a camera with me, but this last time my energies were directed towards capturing as much of this beautiful landscape as possible. My cousin, Windsor Morgan, is also a photographer, so he and I set off, with a carload of Nikon goodies, to tackle the experience of North Wales. Over seven days we chalked up about 1100 miles, covering the interior of Snowdonia National Park, all the way to the coast, and even a stop in the south of Wales, St. David’s head, on a day trip. Some pretty incredible pictures were the result, as some of you have already seen.

An adventure such as this one is never accomplished alone, so I would like to thank all the people who helped make this trip a reality, especially Jan and Windsor Morgan, my Welsh cousins who run the best little bed and breakfast anywhere in the U.K. out of sunny Aberystwyth, Wales. A big shout out goes to my sister, Daryl, who loaned me a North Face fleece (thank god she did, it got freezing during the night), and my mom, who bought me the Zeiss 25mm which I used to capture a great many of the beautiful landscapes you see in the Wales gallery. All in all my gear performed as well as can be expected, and although I took a dunk in a local stream, my cameras and lenses were none the worse for having tackled such an incredible amount of different kinds of shots, in all possible weather conditions, from extremely cold, to extremely hot, in rain and in bright sun, over the two weeks I was in country. Good times.

Anyways, remember when I promised to blow you away...

and



Happy Birthday Dave!

I was down on delray beach this evening taking a walk and was lucky with my timing. If you look clearly, you can see the double bow on top, and the reflection in the sand. No photoshop, straight out of the camera. This is part of a series I am working on of negative pictures, the opposite of what I am used to taking. Although I have experimented with this stuff before, this time, its war.
