The Grand Canyon is one of those places that really do live up to all the hype. The moment to step out next to the railing that overlooks the canyon, the need to speak stops dead in its tracks. Even as you stand there looking at the vast expanse, you can’t help but think that you’re just looking at a giant matte painting for some big budgeted Hollywood film! It’s a surreal place to be and it’s one of the few places that really do take your breath away.

NEVERMIND!

This past weekend I spend a lot of time in the desert and central Californian agricultural farmland. And during the course of the weekend, fantastic cloud forms played with us all day long. So I’m going to be starting a mini-series from my weekend of cloudhunting. These clouds lay just beyond from the now infamous Willow Springs International Raceway.

Since Will and I seem to be so infatuated with clouds, maybe we should purchase cloudhunters.com, yes?

Most of the time, when I’m on location shooting something, I rarely ever take the time to actually appreciate where I am since I’d be concentrating on the task at hand. Today was a busy day operating my light capturing device, but I did happen to steal 30 seconds of the day to breathe in the fresh North Carolinian air, and the natural beauty that surrounds its countryside.

Southern California’s year long brown is no match for North Carolina’s winter brown. Both are completely different sorts of brown, but if I had to choose, I think you all would know what I prefer.
