This has been a challenging year and a half and then some. March of 2020 had my family in Charleston for the wedding of one of my sons. More specifically the week that things began to close down. The wedding plans changed daily that week. Guests canceled. Venues canceled. The bride and groom scrambled to relocate, change venders and long story short, as the saying goes, they got married. That trip was the last I took for six months when I donned an n95 mask and braved a couple plane rides to visit that same son and his wife in Idaho. Fast forward to over a year later and once again, we jumped on a plane for the second wedding, of my sons, that was postponed and rescheduled due to Covid. This trip took us to Arizona. Each of these trips allowed me to be outside to do what I love!
I’ve been craving travel and some landscape photography for such a long time that I extended my stay to visit Sedona, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and the Grand Canyon! Right before leaving for that trip I ordered a new Lensbaby Velvet 28 lens! What an amazing lightweight lens to carry around! At 28mm and f/16 I was able to get some beautiful low light landscape images with some wonderful detail!

Just look at all that texture in the rock in Antelope Canyon!
I am so fortunate to be able to follow my dreams and check a few places off my bucket list ! Picking up my camera and being able to photograph outside where I’m able to be socially distant, for the most part, has been so beneficial to my life. Mother Nature is an amazing force and I’m happy to share some of her story here!
