THE ANGLES AND EMBLEMS SHOOT

I decided to take a different approach to the car show this year.  Instead of trying to fight the crowds and have tons of pictures with people in the foreground and background, i thought i would show a different side by shooting the emblems and the angles that everyone really loves about these cars in the first place.  It still amazes me how these cars were initially designed and constructed with so many lines and stylish features and all being made out of steel.  Don't get me wrong I do know how to appreciate a nice murcielago or new Aston Martin, but the older cars still by far have more style and originality by far.

The Launch of Katchum Alarm Systems!!!!!

Well Katchum is finally a realization, we have devised a way to put a damper on  all of the air conditioning copper theft problems here in the valley and nationwide for that matter.  Our system will detect the instant that the perpetrator tampers with the air conditioner system lines, and a sensor will send a signal to a control panel which in turn will dial your personal phone number or pager, or can be routed to our alarm call center.  This system is a one of a kind alarm system unlike no other which also has the capability of not only saving you thousands on theft costs, but also can alarm you in the instance of a refrigerant loss which can save you money on the ever rising costs of freon gas as well as the cost of a new compressor which we all know that the leading cause of compressor failure is low refrigerant levels.....We all take for granted that the "cold box" on our roof will run for ever without fail, but with the rising costs of copper, theft is at an all time high from your personal air conditioner, cell towers, job site water lines....etc.....We also have a water damage protection system that in the event of a water line leak inside your home, a signal is sent to a valve on the water main which will turn off the water to the house and dial your phone number and let you know of the problem..This is great for your primary residence while you are at work, but it is also an excellent concept for your vacation home as well!!  Check us out and see what we can do for you!!!!

ZION UTAH............................

Finally had the time to take the family to Zion Utah over the labor day weekend. I can't believe I have lived here as long as I have and never been to this place...It is by far a photographers' dream. The weather was pretty overcast and rainy most of the trip, so we waited out the fog and the rain and went into the park around noon, which worked out perfect because when we got ready to leave, the sun showed up towards the evening and really brought out the "colors of Zion" that I had been hearing so much about. We ended up not tent camping because it was a last minute planning, so we stayed at Zion Ponderosa. This place is amazing in its own right. Theoretically you would never have to leave the ranch. They have everything from atv rentals, rock climbing, zip lines, archery, tours,..........and the list goes on and on......they will even setup a shuttle to take you into Zion so you don't even have to drive. For any of you that have not made the short 3 hr +/- trip I suggest that you do, you could spend a full week in the park and never see it all and trust me pictures don't do it justice!!!!!!!  Here are some pictures from the park:


The Descending Bear of Weeping Rock.....

If you look really close you can see the bear descending downward onto the base of weeping rock....Some people see an old man.........I see both but I will leave an age old debate alone and let you decide what it is......

The Girls on Slick Rock...........

Well my youngest is the fearless of the bunch as you can barely see her up on the highest edge of slick rock. She would have gone all the way up if it wasn't for time constraints......but then when you are 8 what does that mean anyhow.......

Dead Mans Curve......

Dually named for its jagged rocks along the curved road. If braking does not occur in time, there is not much room for recovery.  I shot this with gradient sepia and warming filters.  I found it fitting to the shot.

 

Into The Abyss.......

With the weather snapping at us all weekend, i found this name to be fitting.  It seemed no matter where we went or what corner we turned down, this was the sky scene that played a big part of our excursion.
