I love wedding photographers. I love portrait photographers. There is a particular style and feel to all of my favorites that I really can’t get enough of. They have an amazing amount of beauty to them in a fantabulous color pallet that I can not take my eyes away from. At my job, part<\/em><\/strong>of my job is to ‘keep up on photographers.’ That having been said, I spend the majority of my un-assigned time perusing photographers website and blogs and bookmarking those pages like it’s going out of style! I only wish some of these guys’ talent rubs off on me! If you are interested, here are some of my top pics…..<\/p>\n

The Blog is Found<\/a>… the wonderful blog counterpart to The Image is Found<\/a>
\nTara Whitney Photography <\/a>…. she has this funky style that is a bit on the addicting side
\nMammoth Men <\/a>… just plain goofy! and oh so talented
\na LEGO a day<\/a> gets my vote for best 365 project! hands down… fantastic creativity.
\nEmily Steffen<\/a>… i’m pretty sure i’ve linked her before, but she is so trendy, I just can’t stop looking! She is a former co-worker and lives right over the river in Hudson. Holla girl!
\nErin Vey<\/a> … I think she is located in Seattle and her dog is one of the most beautiful dogs i have ever seen. Second of course to Mrs. Roux. No contest.
\nWhitebox Weddings <\/a>… CRANK the volume before opening this site. But be warned…. It’s hard to stop grovin to the musaaac. That’s coming from personal experience. Like right now….\u00a0 ‘ tink tink tink …. love train …. tink tink tin’\u00a0 That is my blog impersonation of a symbol and the song. I know, it was pretty self explanatory, but I thought some readers might not be as well versed in the provided blog\/music \/jess\u00a0language \ud83d\ude42
\nSharon Montrose<\/a>… she is a new find and I haven’t dove too deep in her site, but from what I can see, she is stinking awesome<\/p>\n

Those are all the good sites I’ve got at home right now. I have another laundry list of regulars on my work computer. Any one interested in more just let me know! I can dig ’em up.<\/p>\n

But now for the main reason I so eagerly wanted to get a post going tonight… I’ve got pho-tos! I finished about 1\/3 of my travel images and selected a handful to add here. I haven’t made a big dent yet in the Taffy\/Baloo shoot, but I will. Give me time.<\/p>\n

these 4 photos were from the Turquoise Trail … a fabled ghost trail that leads between Santa Fe and Albuquerque. When I hear ghost town I expect… dirt, empty, bad paint and cow skulls. nope, here we had people, petting zoos, coffee shops and museums. What? That sounds like a tourist trap! It sounds like a less advertised version of Wall Drug. Not quite what I would call prime ‘ghost town’ material. Either way, we had fun driving around and seeing the beauty of the South West!<\/p>\n

\"img_7059\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who doesn’t love photos of cactus? I can’t help it, I do! They are so prickly and unappealing. Not what you typically would cut and bring home for your dining room table. Yet so photogenic!<\/p>\n

\"img_7087\"<\/a><\/p>\n

these 2 are from the petroglyph national monument in Albuquerque. Same place my willing model let me snap his photos. I found this park to be so interesting because it was just outside the Urban Sprawl of Albuquerquewhich seems like an odd place to have a National anything. The hikes are great and pretty tame and the photos ops were plentiful, which I always love.<\/p>\n

These are my Yuccas. These were the plants I dreamed about from the words ‘let’s go to New Mexico!’ I’ve had this vision of beauty in my mind of a sunset photo with the Yuccas at White Sands. Honest to goodness? The park was everything I hoped for. I would say “and even more” had we been able to camp. But no, missle testing overrides camping permits. Yikes! I know…<\/p>\n

\"p1040970\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More Yuccas, but these look like Pineapples which makes me feel tropical whenever I look at it. I might have to blow this up real big and hang it in my room. I can be in the tropics {of New Mexico} everyday with a piece of art like this at my bedside.<\/p>\n

Additional photos to come. Either more from NM or more from the Castle animals. Or maybe more from random aspects of my days in MN. Who knows! Speaking of that {random life}, 365\u00a0is not going the best. I’ll get back on track. At least, I\u00a0think I’ll get back on track. hmmmm. Until next time, have a spectacular evening!<\/p>\n

Oh – I almost forgot!!!! I have a fun announcement I’ll be making in the next day or so. Keep tuned<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
