First Chance to Shoot in over a month!...and the battery dies...

Ok so my life always feels like its moving in fast forward, if I dont have to work at changs Im working on homework, if im not at home im in class, if im not in class im trying to get business going, and if i get a free minute i go see my beautiful girlfriend. It is actually because of that last one that i finally got a chance to shoot today. My spummer class ended early so i decided to wait around to visit my Bella on her lunch break, so to pass the short time i had, i decided to head to GOTG. It was the first day of pure summer sunshine i have seen yet, so how could i resist pullin out the cam to take some of it home with me. When i started shooting i realized my battery was low, which is usually never a problem since im fairly good at keeping a spare. After about 6 frames my battery died and i proceeded to switch out to my backup only to find that it was dead to...chalk one up for preperation. Anyway the day was still gorgeous.

The above is a photo of Pikes Peak from the valley behind the faces of the Kamels, or Camels ...whatever. Either way it was the most green i had seen in months. Due to all the adverse weather the past few days the peak had a fresh layer of brilliant white snow to pull the mountain top out of the beautiful blue sky...yeah i know, no poet.


This one is a shot of the front face of GOTG, for some reason this angle is not nearly as popular as the shot most taken from the backside, of course after all who doesnt like a good backside haha...oh come on, I know that got some sort of reaction...even possibly a bad one which is ok i guess.

The Gardens has so many beautiful locations to be shot, but unfortunately so much of the park has become fenced off or posted no passing. I miss the days when every sunday as a kid i would go climb up various rock faces and formations at will and rome about the park as though it were my backyard...which i guess it was. Now the beauty of the park is being imposed upon by concrete sidewalks winding through the popular areas of the park and fences upon fences with no tresspassing signs warning any who oppose them. 500 clams, thats the cost nowadays if one wants to wander and let venture off into the bueaty of Gods creation. Someday i would love the chance to photograph the park which was such a wonderful place to play as a child from any and every angle i want, a chance to bring my camera places where now no one else can go. Oh well.

Me, almost a year ago...
