A cowboy came a rompin’ into the studio yesterday. Boots, hat, kerchief, only thing that was missing was his six shooter on his hip. He was a nice little guy. Even let me take a few photos of him. I think he was proud to show off his gettup as well as being able to stand up by himself!
What a cute little puppy this was. He was well behaved during the whole time his family was in the studio. He smiled when we asked him to smile and he never went wee-wee on the floor! I could easily tell that Stephanie loved her little dog and he seemed pretty fond of her too. They do make a cute couple after all.
If you are like me and are on the internet almost everyday (it’s for work, I promise) Then you might be like me and have a few blogs that you follow. You know individuals whose points of view are similar to your own except they have a way to put them into words that sounds good. Well I have a few blogs that I like to read and it just so happens that he happens to be a pretty decent guy. He of course is a photographer, retired, but he now spends his time inventing new products for working photographers. One of his inventions I use almost 100% of the time whenever I need to use my flash on my camera. And since he is running a nation wide campaign for his products he offered to list your website along with a photo you took with one of his products. The picture above is the photo I submitted and is the one he accepted to run. It runs with about 20 others in a full page spread in several photo magazines. I’m pretty excited!!!
Another stop along our 3,000 mile journey was that of the infamous Casa Bonita. It is an interesting little restaurant that includes not only the most typical mexican food you’ve ever had, but it also includes a live Mariachi band, cliff divers, puppet shows, an arcade, an indoor waterfall, a cave, a prompt staff (that only answers to the raised red flag on your table) and an overpriced menu.  But it has become such a tradition in our family that whenever we are in Denver we have to go. This trip was no exception, and now our children are in love with it. You can read more about it at www.casabonitadenver.com.
I just had to share this photo with you. While we were hiking down from the delicate arch viewing point we happened to see these birds just sitting on the fence. Well we thought we would try to sneak up on them but when we did some other tourists came up and scared them away. But they flew just 100 feet away on an adjoining trail. So I had my son sneak up on them and as he got within 15 feet of them he raised his arms and screamed while running at them. Of course they flew away but as they did I followed one with my camera and he just happened by the Delicate Arch.
