Monsoon Seasons Finale

Looks like the monsoon season here in Arizona is trickling to an end. Forecast out for the next week looks to be blue skies and lots of sun.

This season though sure has been an enjoyable one for me.  Hours of chasing storms throughout Arizona. Missed out on quite a few storms too, due to work, but you got to pay the bills right? Fortunate to have been able to experience, and shoot what shots I was able to though. Lightning of any kind never disappoints.
Happy to say that my camera slip I hand made for rainy weather has been a success! I'm still able to operate my camera fully without any water getting to the body or lens...now to create some kind of add on cover for the front element and I think I'll be storm set for next year!

Sedona - Exploring the Night

Exploring the desert at night is always fun. Especially on partially cloudy nights. The stars really fight to shine through the nights sky. Doing some milky way photos in Sedona earlier this summer, I found myself at Cathedral Rock, or near it at 2am. The milky way was trying to hide from me behind all those clouds, lite up by the city of Sedona, casting an orange, almost sunset like color upon them.
Really looking forward to returning there this autumn for some pre-winter skies.

Updates

Phew, it sure has been a while. Nothing to crazy new, been focused a lot on photography a lot, following one of my passions for the wild outdoors. So many amazing things out there, yet seems so little time on my hands to truly dive in, and pursue those goals completely. Everything takes time though, and nothing happens over night.

I am super happy to announce my new photo gallery though!! A work in progress as I add new photos, and take new ones. Never thought the day would come when I had my own website for photos. Be sure to check it out sometime. :)

Thinking about using my blog here to blog a few of my outdoor activities and projects that are coming up. I have a few light workshops around the corner.

No new 3D designs lately. But I have some ideas for future projects I'd still love to tackle! :D

Rock Work and More

New work, been playing around with polished rocks that I've found and polished lately. Started playing with wire work. Which has been pretty fun! Might have to make something for Hrist some time haha.

Be sure to check out my Etsy shop, I've added a few stones and dollfie stuff to it.

Almost that Matsuri time of the year! Hoping to see some new and familiar faces at the meet!

Rock Collecting

Phew, what have I been up to lately? Work, work, and more work. Amongst all the chaos of having little to no spare time on my hands, I've started a new hobby that apparently runs in my family of rock collecting.

 So many rocks, so little time. Planning on cleaning a few up and perhaps polishing others.

This one is being back lite to show off it's translucency.

Christmas

Merry Christmas! Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Been so busy with work, a whole month seems to have passed by... how strange it is, I feel like I'm still in October. Crazy stuff though.

Some new news though! Hrist has launched her own Instagram site!
Been pondering the idea for a while and decided to go and make her one. Since time isn't really allowing any major projects at the moment, I am still planning to take her out for some photoshoots, along with Lidia too.

Follow her along on her adventures!

Been trying to talk my friend into starting up one as well with his favorite Obitsu, Yui. He wants to dabble into photography a bit, and what better way to jump into taking photos, right? Always a lot of fun to set up a nice theme, shot, and go from there. 

Have a really nice Christmas everyone! :)
