Butterfly Pavilion

Well, I am not as caught up on my posting as I would like to be.  We have done so much and been so many places that there doesn't seem like enough hours in a day to do everything that I would like to do with the photos.  Let alone write about them.

When we get back from a day of shooting we will upload the pictures, spend a lot of time going through them then editing, posting to SmugMug and Instagram (and a VERY occasional Facebook post - I hate Facebook and all that it stands for).  I don't know how people can do that shit all fucking day long.  It would drive me nuts.  Yes, I haven't seen people from high school since high school and I really don't feel the need to keep up with them anymore.  What am I going to say to them?  Hi, how are you?  You've been married three times?  Just got out of prison huh?  That's a shame that you still live with your mother.  AIDs?  Bummer dude.  See what I mean.  If I didn't like you then, I won't like you now.  Now, that statement doesn't pertain to everybody.  Who am I kidding.  I don't dislike people.  I just like saying that stuff to make you laugh.  Did it work?  Good.

Sorry for the rant.  Not sure how that started. Oh, I remember, Facebook...grrr

Here are some shots taken a week ago at the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster, Colorado.

Jordan Day 1

 It's been almost three years since we had payed for our trip to Jordan and Israel.  THREE FUCKING YEARS! We finally went and had a great time.   The trip lasted almost a month and we started our adventure in Amman, Jordan.  We arrived a day early so we could acclimate to the time change (nine hour difference).   We had purchased some Briggs and Riley high end luggage in hopes to carry them on the plane due to all of the recent horror stories of lost and or delayed baggage.  No such luck!  We were forced to check our bags at the gate in Denver.  If we had known our bags would have to be checked, we would have brought a lot more clothes and a much bigger suitcase.  We only brought six days of clothes (with an extra abundance of underwear and socks).   The planes were on time and we arrived in Amman a bit tired and eager to get going.   Our first hotel was the House Boutique Hotel which was really comfortable.  The hotel had a ro...

Barr Lake, Colorado (AKA New Lens Test)

What's one to do when you buy a new lens (discounted $300 by the way)?  Thats right, go shoot some birds at one of the many Colorado State Parks. Lucky for us, Barr Lake is just a few minute drive for us. We got up at 5am thinking that we would roll out of bed and hit the road.  Well, that didn't happen.  We got on the road at 6am and arrived a few minutes later. Our new lenses added an additional 3lbs to our backpacks and along with the tripod and water bottles it was a wonder we could walk at all. Our goal was to go out to the Gazebo.  Michelle thought it was a short walk (with a 15lb backpack in tow) but it was about 1 1/2 miles.  Normally, this would be about 30 minute walk but a ton of birds everywhere it took us about an hour or so to reach our destination. How big are our lenses?

Back From Morocco

I guess I forgot to tell you where we went for our three week vacation…. Morocco! Great trip! Met some new friends and basically toured the Moroccan countryside by bus, horse and buggy, 4x4’s and camel. We stayed at eleven different hotels and spent two nights in the Sahara desert (the Milky Way was awesome). Anyway, here is a link to the pictures that we took. Yes, Michelle and I have separate smug mug accounts for picture posting: Erich’s SmugMug site: https://erichphoto.smugmug.com/International-Travel/Morocco/   Michelle’s SmugMug site: https://michellephoto.smugmug.com/Morocco/ you can see a video slide show as well (the pictures are the same) on my youtube site: https://youtu.be/_fXuiJeJ1cU enjoy
