We recently headed out to Joshua Tree to shoot with portable flash units. Our intention was to catch the moon rise then shoot the trees with light after the fact.

UT-CO-AZ Road Trip
We recently decided that it would be a good idea to try and see as many national parks as possible before we die. This idea is what prompted the trip…plus we both had wanted to see these places for quite some time. All destinations were brand new to both of us, with the exception of our less-than-1-day visits to Zion and Grand Canyon.
If you’re interested in our commentary and photos, you can find them here:
Road to Zion / Capitol Reef / Arches & Moab / Canyonlands / Mesa Verde / Monument Valley / Canyon de Chelly / Grand Canyon / Williams, AZ
Death Valley & Lone Pine
This was our fourth trip to Death Valley. Our main objectives this trip were to see some sights not yet seen, revisit some sites we had seen, and do some hiking. We did all of that. We also got to take a ride in a small, 4-seater airplane, which was totally unexpected and the highlight of our trip. To bypass the story and jump straight to the photos, click here.
Here’s how it happened:

Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Valley of Fire
We’re trying to visit, and photograph, all the National Parks in the US. On this trip, we marked off two. To skip this riff-raff and see photos only, click these Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Valley of Fire.

We went to Iceland to see Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Good enough reason, eh.
Joshua Tree Blooms
For this trip, we forwent the meteor shower and looked at the flowers. Photos here.
Palomar Observatory
and Anza Borrego State Park
At first, I wondered what we would do here. After three days, it was all about the Ocotillo. Find photos from this trip here.
