Red Rock Canyon

Another flashback, to our trip over to Red Rock Canyon. A land of many colors and big rocks! 

I took a film camera and a couple of old rolls of film. I got this expired film in a holiday gift swap with some film friends, and it seems to have suited this usage perfectly. The extra grain and somewhat varied colors goes perfectly with the wild skies and rocky terrain of this location.

Vegas Film

A few flashback photos from our trip to Vegas! Clearing out the back-up of film I've had sitting around has made for some fun times remembering place and times. Our little weekend in Vegas was a particularly fun one. :)

Vegas Baby!

Ah, Vegas. The land of so many sights and sounds and weird things. We walked and we walked. We stayed up super late. We played the slots. We lost our money. We watched the fancy dancing fountain. And my wife  l o v e d  the Strip. I think we'll be going back again.

Thanks Paula for sharing your trip to the Strip with us! 

I found Chris Pronger on a shelf full of bobble heads. My very favorite hockey player, no longer a Blue, but in his Blue 44 in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip. Happy moment. :)

Red Rock Canyon

A few weeks ago, before life got super busy, we headed east to Las Vegas for a little trip. On the way, we stopped to spend an afternoon at Red Rock Canyon. This place is truly gorgeous. There are layers and layers of colors and textures. It was a great day and a beautiful place to visit!

We found some turtles in one of the displays. :)

My lens is wide, so the people are small... but look closely and you'll see Kim and her little sister. :)

I was laying under a big rock, looking up through a big crack, while Kim looked down... and I love this photo. :)
