Karli and Zack set the Kiana Lodge on Fire

I don’t shoot many weddings, and if I do it’s more often than not that I’m asked to do video. That’s what I did with dear friend Karli Johnson and her fiance, Zack Zarcone this past weekend in Seattle. But along the way I snapped a few stills using a D3 and 16mm f2.8 lens that Nikon send me to try out. Way to go Karli and Zack–you two pulled of the most glamorous rehearsal dinner and wedding that I think I have ever been involved in (with the exception of my own). Love to you both!

Pinecrest Lake

This past weekend our family joined Linette’s relatives to spread the ashes of her grandmother Ruth. It was a meaningful time. I managed to take a few digital photographs on my Nikon D200 of some of our down time. Here are a few.

Bombers 2009

This winter Linette and I enrolled Henry in a learn-to-ski program called Breckenridge Bombers. For six Saturdays, I (or our carpool friends) drove three kids to Breck for Bombers. I had a great time getting up before dawn and going up to Breck with him. By the end of the season, he was doing great! Here is a typical day:

On the way home, we stop at Hoosier pass to grab a photograph of Mt. Lincoln.
At home, Henry takes advantage of the Sheridan/Toschi apres-ski spa tradition

I took these photographs with my Nikon N80.
