Thailand & China

I got back from a trip to Thailand and China a couple weeks ago. I have been slacking about processing the photo's, but I finally got to it today. I went to Thailand for a week to meet up with Samantha. We went down to a little island in southern Thailand called Koh Lipe, it is basically paradise on earth. From there I went up to Beijing to meet up with my friend Mike. We saw many cool thinks, and walked many many miles. From there I went by myself to a city called Chungdu. Very cool city, tons of great parks and friendly people. I did however get extremely lost on a bike ride. I set out on a little ride, but got so lost it took me 5 hours to make it back to my hotel. From Chungdu, I went to Xi'an to meet up with Mike and His girlfriend. I really enjoyed Xi'an, the pollution was insane but other than that it was great. From Xi'an I had one last stop in Shanghai, I really liked Shanghai. Here are some of photo's from my trip, to see more click HERE.

So I've decided I should start putting some work related stuff up here. I find my trips to be more interesting, but people have asked to see some work stuff. I just finished up a six day shoot at the Nike studio, it was a real big real fun shoot. There were three other photographers besides myself on the shoot, as well as all the wonderful people helping us out. Here are a few behind the scenes shots I snapped with my point and shoot.

Christmas 2010

For Christmas this year my family met at my sister Britt's house in Salt Lake City. As usual it was a great time, with lots of game playing and tons of eating. From there I flew over to Colorado to meet up with some old friends. Colorado has the craziest weather in the winter, one day I was playing golf in 60 degree weather, and a couple days later I was snowboarding in zero degree weather. I somehow didn't manage to take my camera out of my bad one single time while in Colorado. My good friend Chris drove to Colorado from St. Louis. Since road trips are just about my favorite thing, I decided to drive back to St. Louis with Chris. I thought St. Louis was amazing, and had lots of fun there. If anyone is ever going through St. Louis, you have to check out City Museum, it is my new favorite place. Here are a couple photo's from my trip. To see more click here.

LA and Vegas

My whole family decided to go visit my sister Shea and my Dad in Las Vegas. There were two things to celebrate, first Shea had a new baby girl (Bia) that we all needed to see. There was also the birthday of her oldest daughter Riley to celebrate. I unfortunately was on a plane while everyone else had an awesome pool party to celebrate Riley's 8th birthday. It was a very short trip for everyone, but we still had fun and ate good food.

I had purchased the Jet Blue all you can jet ticket, which allowed me to fly as much as I wanted from September 7th through October 6th. So from Las Vegas I flew to Los Angeles, to visit some friends. My trip was cut a little short, due to selling my condo and needing to move. So here are some photo's from my trip, if you would like to see more click here.
