The landlocked seagull

I'm always bemused to find seagulls anywhere but the coast. This particular bird was photographed in Casper, Wyoming, over the Platte River. Sure it's a body of water, but the association with the ocean is too strong in my head -- I can't help but think, "How did that crazy bird get here?" It's a real head scratcher for me whenever I find a seagull so many thousands of miles from the coast.

An overlooked picture from my Wyoming trip last month. I was in Casper to shoot a wedding. In sorting out the final edit, I came across this photo that I took specifically for the blog and had forgotten about. Love all the bright colors! So cheerful!

Well hello there! I couldn't resist an opportunity to photograph myself in this doorway in Casper, Wyoming.

I found this cool building in Casper, Wyoming while I was there to shoot a wedding. Upon closer inspection I realized that the entire "exoskeleton" of the structure is poured concrete. Wow! It must have been quite an engineering challenge to design and build. Very 1960s!

P.S. I'd like to give a shout out to my trusty assistant Allison, who walked through the frame on cue, oh so casually, to complete the shot ;o)

Casper, Wyoming

A couple of weekends ago I traveled to Casper, Wyoming to shoot a wedding. While there I had a chance to hang out with my friends Russell and Sara, longtime Casper residents. They insisted that we dine at the World Famous Wonder Bar, as I understand it the oldest bar in town. I liked it! The food was great, they had my favorite beer (Fat Tire), and the joint was jumpin'. I highly recommend it!
