Run Away With Me...

So I know the year has just started but there is always a good time to run away to an exotic place for a few days right? So when Mitch’s company decided it was time to spend a few days in the sun in Kauai I did not hesitate. My bags were packed and I was standing in the middle of our living room floor with my shorts and flip flops even though it was the middle of winter. Lucky for me we were having a heat wave here in the San Francisco bay (in the upper 50s!) that weekend so I didn’t freeze to death while waiting for our flight.

I think the difference between this year’s trip ( as opposed to last year’s trip ) was the increased number of dSLR users in the company. I’d like to think I started the trend by running around at last year’s trip with my shiny new 40D and scaring people with the size of it. (Even if I didn't start it just let me think I did so I can be all happy sunshine and lollipops about it.)

I'm really excited that others have picked up their cameras (either for the first time or getting back to it). It is always fun shooting with others and I'm always delighted to inspire others (my uncle Ralph comes to mind).

In fact I had so much fun that I shoved 4 guys in to the Subaru that I rented and went to shoot Waimea canyon while we were there. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun running around a canyon before.

Now that I'm back all tanned and and goddess like I'm ready to get into the swing of things. We have a lot of exciting and new things planned for 2009 and I can't wait to share it with everyone.







I lured Cedric into a photo shoot near the beach. Does he not look tubular?


Cheers (and suntan lotion),
