2023 In Review

My friend Brennan was in Salt Lake while I was shooting with the 4 previous models, so before leaving the city, we made a date to shoot out on Stansbury Island in the Great Salt Lake. There's a salt mining operation at the end of Stansbury Island just out of frame of some of the photos. The mine is located where the last two photos were taken with the reflections on the water. The lake where we were at is a pink color from the algae in the water. You can kind of see the pink tint of the water in the photos from the high bluff we started on. It was darn hot that day (100 degrees when we started shooting at 9am), but we persevered for 3 hours before calling it quits and jumping in the air conditioned vehicle. Actually Brennan had been ill the whole trip (she had been gone from home for about a month). She was headed home right after this shoot. Brennan and I actually go way back together. She contacted me on a trip she was on to Las Vegas in 2015. We spent almost a whole day at Redstone. That was an interesting shoot. We ran into a rattlesnake, an elderly couple who enjoyed watching us for a while, and it was spitting rain (unusual for Nevada). We've managed to shoot at least once a year since.

Like I said last week, our schedule is a little wonky with the upcoming holidays. This post will have to tide you all over until a week from Wednesday, when we should get back on schedule. I can't believe we're at the end of the year. I still have a lot more to go with this series so stay tuned. And I have a lot to post from my exploits in 2024.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your support. It does mean a lot. I have several shoots already lined up for 2025 so stay tuned and if you celebrate, HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS. THANK YOU for sticking with me this year.
