Star Trails



I had the opportunity to go to Nelson's Landing with my son's astronomy class Saturday night. There was still some light pollution from Vegas but you could still see so many more stars than you can in town. We saw Saturn through Dr. Batchelor's telescope. You could see the ring around it. Pretty amazing. I tried my hand at star trails. I also photographed the Milky Way. It was a lot of fun and I hope to get a chance to go again. I would like to try using a film camera for the star trails. 

Highland Games



The Highland Games and Celtic Festival at Tule Springs was definitely a cultural experience. Men in skirts throwing rocks for fun. The sound of bagpipes echoing across the park. Guinness on tap. Great fun all around. 

Rat City Rukkus






Rat City Rukkus was awesome, so much fun. Cool cars, cool people. What's better than that?

Wild in Vegas





The Wild in Vegas shoot was fun. Started off with the breakfast club. Then we shot at the Springs Preserve where there was some very unusual wildlife to be found among the more native species. Finally it was lunch with the whole crew (missed you Christina). Can't beat that. What a great group this class is. You guys all rock!
