Marisha and I just put a deposit down on our first house, and we’re extremely excited! We found this gem less than 10 miles south of the Orlando Airport in an up & coming area. The house is built by Standard Pacific Homes in the Turnberry Reserve neighborhood. Stay tuned for more information and photos of the actual house!

Here’s a truly eye-opening article regarding the status of our oceans and the plastic we use day to day.  One of the scariest lines I could find is “no matter how virtuously you toss your chip bags and shampoo bottles into your blue bin, few of them will escape the landfill, only 3 to 5 percent of plastics are recycled in any way.”  It’s a shame to think this is happening and that all of us consumers believe what goes in the bin gets recycled.  Read the article!

Finally, I’m getting somewhere with the photos I took out west. This time I’m trying my luck with a few panorama shots. Of course, these are stitched in photoshop from several different photos. I think I’m going to have to save up some money to buy a nice Horseman Panorama camera.

Today is a great day. The latest article series has started on BoDo and I’m one the contributers. Thank you Cat Morley for allowing me the opportunity to participate in the series. A couple of weeks ago Cat contacted me with a request to answer 7 questions regarding the business of photography. Please be sure to read the series and don’t hesitate to provide comments & feedback.

This is the final chapter in our adventure.  After leaving Bryce we headed over to Zion, which is a big outdoor playground for me.  For the rest of the trip I put the camera’s down and tried to enjoy myself outdoors.  Marisha and I hiked the day away.  First we made our way up to Angel’s Landing, where we learned it was harder to overcome the fear of falling than we thought.  Then we made our way down to the Emerald Pools, where we hiked all three levels of the falls. Finally we made our way out of the park, hiking a total of almost 8 miles and around 2,500 feet of elevation gain.

After leaving the park we made our way to Vegas, the MGM Grand in particular.  We checked into our new room in the Signature at MGM Grand.  We loved the room instantly, and enjoyed the whirlpool tub and the king size bed.  We explored the town, and all the different casinos along the strip. We quickly found NY NY was one of our favorite places to find a meal, but they didn’t compare the Grand Buffet at the MGM.  We saw the “O” Cirque du Soliel show at the Bellagio, which was one of the most interesting things I have ever seen!  And this is where the adventure comes to a close.  I hope you enjoyed the story as much I enjoyed telling it.
