Steven's Lake

The other day my dad, Cameron and I went for a hike to Lower Steven's Lake, near Mullan, Idaho. It was a beautiful, crisp fall day and the larches have just started turning color contrasting beautifully against the still green pines. It was a great hike and we got some good shots out of it. The one shot of my dad brandishing his bear spray shows his true alpinistic finesse and his cool demeanor. I'd like to think that if my dad ever encounters a grizzly he'll look something like that. With the rolled up orange hat and all. That would stop any self-respecting bear dead in his tracks.

I have posted anything for a good long while, so here are some BW frames. Just for kicks. Two were shot in my living room and one was shot at CDA Ironman.

Nikki

A friend of mine, Cody Spencer was playing a game for his men's league softball team. I took this shot of my friend Nikki in the stadium seating at Memorial field, downtown. I liked it... Also, she's never seen any of the six episodes of Star Wars... Which is very unfortunate, but will change this Saturday.

Field

So life lately has seemed a bit faster than usual.

I was talking to my mom about it the other day, and I suppose that I would rather have the kind of life that seems to rush by instead of dragging on. I've never experienced the latter, and even though life can seem to move in a chaotic motion and at an equally chaotic pace, peace still permeates both of these and moves slowly without ever stagnating.

But...

I haven't posted a single photo in a very long time.

So this entry changes that,

but the reality is, I still have a couple thousand frames that have yet to even be looked at. I have frames sitting on my hardrive from January till now that will hopefully find their way up onto display at some point.

So stay tuned for those boys and girls.

Shots from NZ, St. Louis with my cousins, and all of the cycling trips that I've taken this summer in Canada and Montana.

But for today, here's one that I literally shot in my back yard. I really liked it and I hope that you'll enjoy it too.

Seattle Round 2

This concludes another round of Seattle photos. Words of wisdom learned from our travels... If you are going to go "Car Fishing"... Do so safely. Do not use 50 lbs. fishing line... If you are using plastic easter eggs as bait with said fishing line, and (in a completely hypothetical scenario) the eggs get caught under a Subaru Forester being driven by four bros from EWU on their merry way home, the results could be catastrophic. Just don't do it...

I don't know if this picture does justice to how mad that lady looked...

Healthy foods...

Car fishing...

Though he denies it, i still think that this shot is the epitome of Josh Stevens.

This is going to an adventure magazine.

Yes, in case you were wondering, my friend Jeff as pictured above really did take a piece of gum off the wall and chew it. He only got three bucks for it too... That's desperation.




We found this chair on a random street corner. We decided to take it with us and get some shots, but the chair didn't actually make it too far. we got kind of lazy.

Seattle Trip

More New Zealand posts will come, I promise. But life has been so hectic lately that I haven't been shooting or posting much at all. I can't say that I am a fan of being this busy all the time, but that's part of life. Forgive me.

Anyways, I went to Seattle last weekend with a few friends of mine. We didn't really have a set schedule or anything, our plan was just to hang out for the weekend and get away from things for a weekend. The trip was a ton of fun. The photos attest to that.

An Hour Well Spent.

This guy had a great story. He was an army vet who fought in the Gulf War. He was really nice and we ended up talking to him for ten minutes or so. He said he was on his way back to Spokane... Although he was extremely nice, I'm still not sure if I'm convinced he really needed 37 dollars for a bus ticket... But Josh was convinced.
