Since My Last Post in 2016 (before the wedding, the wedding day, and after the wedding). Saline Valley Hot Springs – an Annual Voyage. It has been some years now since I posted about my annual family camping trip to Saline Valley Hot Springs. 2015, the year that Loretta and I got married out there,…
The aftermath. So much pork, and love, and goodness. The two days after our Saline Valley wedding, people packed up and started the long journey home. A few friends and family members remained. On Monday my sister, Sam from New York, Alex, Pepper (Alex’s mom), and I went on a crazy hike. I hadn’t realized I had been wanting…
Figuring out the ceremony. Good intentions. Leading up to our Saline Valley wedding celebration, Loretta and I had good intentions of working on what we would say to one another. We thought about how we would structure our ceremony. Before we left for our desert camping wedding adventure we chatted with people and did a bit of research….
The lead up. A little history. Each year I trek into the desert with my partner, Loretta. We were just a few months into our relationship when I first dragged her out to Saline Valley hot springs. When Loretta was pregnant and our kids were infants, we still went out. We usually go for about…
Some adventures are more epic than others. Our yearly voyage to family camping trip to Saline Valley Hot Springs in Death Valley tends to rank pretty high on the epic adventure scale. This year was no exception. I spent a lot of time driving, cooking, being a dad, and just kicking back and enjoying life. Somewhere…

My daughter, Zelda, turned one last month. She was born at home, in our bathroom. She burst into our lives with so much sweetness and feistiness. I was so astounded that she was a girl. I really thought we would be having a second boy. A completely different creature than her brother, I am so…
I have been taking a picture with my growing family for our “Holiday” / “New Years” card for three years now. We have a blast getting dressed up and creating the picture. We try really hard to get them out by the end of the year, but it just doesn’t seem to happen. No matter…
Back in the Day When I started taking pictures enthusiastically, artistically, and professional (not always all at the same time), I shot with film. This was in the late 90’s. I started out shooting mostly black and white film. I also would shoot color negative film and transparency film. While most of the photography I…
Our Little Truck This year I outfitted our little truck, El Burro or Burrito, with some helper springs. Since I tend to load the living daylight out of our Mazda Pickup, and have gotten flats the last couple of years, I figured it was time. The helper springs fixed the sagging rear problem, and the…
