Leaving Las Vegas

As part of our road trip from California to the East Coast, it would have been a shame to bypass Las Vegas, particularly since we had never been there before.  While we would have loved to seen the city at night, we had other plans for the rest of the day.  Believe it or not, I snapped only one photo there, and that was the one you see here, which I grabbed looking over my shoulder as we were leaving leaving Las Vegas.  Still, if I was going to get just one shot, I suppose this one says it all.

Roadkill

Long day today (that would be on 7 August, the day before I post this), but awesome for sure.  Spent the night in a great old motel on Route 66 Seligman, Arizona, following a great dinner at the Roadkill Cafe.  Breakfast there in the morning, before we headed down Route 66 to Williams.  From there, it was off to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon (spectacular!!), where we spent the day.  Then back on the road to Page, Arizona, for a night of rest, before we continue on into the National Parks in Utah.  May try to get to Horseshoe Bend, very near Page, if it all works out, but we’re playing that one by ear.   Here’s a shot I grabbed before dining on ?????? at the Roadkill!

War of the Worlds

Man, oh man!  The last few days have been jam packed with activity.  First day of the road trip had included San Francisco and Berkeley; next day was Yosemite National Park and Mono Lake; third day was all  Death Valley, all day, and it was glorious!  Today, the fourth day, had us heading out of Pahrump, Nevada to Las Vegas, then to Hoover Dam and then into Arizona.  As I write this, I am back on Route 66 in Seligman, Arizona, home of the famous Angel Delgadillo, whom I met on my epic three week Route 66 explore back in late 2011.  This time, I’ll get to introduce him to my wife and kids, which I had promised him I would do back then.  He’s about one of the nicest old gentleman you could ever meet on Route 66.  Anyway, here is the shot for today, not of anything on Route 66, but rather a piece I created using a photo I shot the other day on Death Valley.  At the time I shot it, I was specifically looking for terrain that would lend itself to an other worldly creation, which is a fairly easy thing to do in Death Valley.  My kids asked several times whether this movie or that were filmed there, and we would not have been surprised if some cool sci-fi films were actually shot there (or at least somewhere that looks quite similar).  That said, doubt they shot much in Death Valley because the weather  is… well… dang HOT!!!

Fire Engine Red

As I sit here in my hotel room, at the end of the first day of our road trip across these United States, I reflect upon the cool places we hit today, including Yosemite National Park and Mono Lake. As this is a family trip, I’m rolling light in terms of camera gear, sporting only my recently acquired iPhone 5 and my trusty Fuji X100. Here’s a shot I grabbed at Yosemite earlier today with the iPhone (post-processed with the iPhone as well), and it’s not a landscape shot, though I’ll have one or two of those I’ll post at some point as well.

Dreaming Out Loud

Dang! It’s been almost a year since I last posted anything here. Better late than never, they say, right? So why, after all this time, am I posting now. Well, it turns out a friend of mine, known affectionately as the ‘Crusher of Dreams’, asked me about my website, so… here we are. It would not be right for her to check out the site and see an almost year old post, now would it? So, today’s post — aptly named, I think — is dedicated to the Crusher of Dreams. By the way, for those wondering, I shot and processed this with my iPhone 4S while down in Monterey, California, a wonderful place I and my family fell in love with.  I posted this shot over on Instagram as well, where you can find me @jacquesgude.
