I just had the most insane enaggement session. We went to Joshua Tree National Park. I woul dnot rank the park itself as one of my fav’s but the scenery makes for good photos. Tina and Lucas were amazing, we climbed boulders, stood on top of rock mountains, hiked through brush and even got hung up on some cacti. Well worth the shots. I have one that i did a little edit too, it’s the only one I opened sorry too beat, drove over 350 miles today, for you east coasters, I never left the state. If I were in New Hampshire I could have driven to Canada probably!!!
My mentor Mac came along, it was awesome. We also used to scope out a possible location for some of his future workshops, Photos On The Go, We are thinking of doing a 2 day workshop, day one at Joshua tree and day two at the Salton Sea… We havent scoped out the Salton Sea yet but We are going to try and get out there before the heat takes the desert over. Enjoy the sample and the slideshow shoul dbe up by friday. PEACE
