A Photo a Week Challenge: Natural Lighting


Natural lighting is how I take my photos. I didn’t have a flash set up on my old mirrorless camera and became so used to it that even though my new DSLR has a flash built-in, I never use it.

A Photo a Week Challenge: Reflection


I love water reflections, especially on a sunny day. This was taken at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone when I went there last week. I saw this tree and thought it was in the wrong place but at the same time, it does look pretty cool.

Yellowstone 2021 Day 3


I should’ve done a “Day 3” of the trip 3 days ago but with my guests still in town and work, I just couldn’t find the time.

Yellowstone 2021 Day 2


It’s amazing how I’m able to find so much in common with my fellow traveler and guest, who happens to be a 15-year-old.

Yellowstone 2021 Day 1


Of the five Yellowstone trips I’ve taken so far, I think this is the most relaxing trip so far or maybe I’m just exhausted from all the traveling I’ve done recently.

Las Vegas 2021 Trip Day 4


I think a picture of the sunset from the 35th floor is a fitting picture to end this journey. Another end to another trip.

Las Vegas 2021 Trip Day 3


I think this is definitely a 2021 thing. I was told this conference is going to be crazy, that there would be lots of people, believe me, 1000 is a lot of people especially in a time like this but it has been slow-going working at the registration desk.

Las Vegas 2021 Trip Day 2


One thing I must admit about Las Vegas or perhaps every city, the night view is definitely different from what I’m used to especially when it’s from the 35th floor of a 5-star hotel room.

Las Vegas 2021 Trip Day 1


It was around 8:45 AM when I arrived in Vegas and it was 100-degrees. So hot!

It’s my first time traveling to Las Vegas guys via an airplane and I have to say it’s more exhausting than driving – you have to park at the airport, ride a shuttle to the terminal, go through security, walk to the gate, board the plane, and ride for an hour. An hour later, more walking. Oh and let’s not mention all the things you cannot bring with you when you air travel.

I’m on my way to the hotel. My cold has somewhat subsided after taking multiple medications this morning. Hopefully, it’ll stay that way.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #155: On the Water


This week, on Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #155, John from Journeys with Johnbo challenged us to share some photos for the topic of On the Water.

I agree with John, people, including me, tend to gravitate toward water. For me, the reason is when there is water, the temperature tends to be a little cooler especially on the a hot day.

This photo was taken when I went hiking at an elevation of 10,000 feet. It was so hot that day, I remember, but at 10,000 feet, it was about 15 degrees cooler.

Water is almost mandatory when I am searching for a new place to hike, for this reason – a great photo op.

CFFC: Water Found in Nature


From a trickling stream to a torrent of icy water rushing down a river, both photos were shot along the way and on my hike a few weeks back.
