Just got back from a 3-day trip to Sin City. Let me tell you, it was quite the adventure. My buddy Mike Crouch and I headed out on Tuesday morning and rolled into town and did some location scouting. After a killer dinner at the Rio, we did some LATE late night photography of the strip. We would have done more, but we were TOTALLY wiped.

The next two days were a blur…but we photographed 8 models in 48 hours. We shot at a cool dry lake bed, a sweet spot at Red Rock Canyon and a park in Henderson. Made some cool friends too.

The elements were against us…winds on Thursday reached 55 MPH at times…which made it near impossible to shoot at the dry lake bed. There was nothing but a huge cloud spanning the entire area. It was pretty nuts. We spent lots of time trying to cope with the wind and still getting great shots. I think we succeeded.

Anyway, good times…but let me just say that if anyone ever tells me that photography is easy, let me just say it’s not. We worked our ASSES off…and definitely earned our pay for the day.

Speaking of work, I’ve got a long day ahead of me tomorrow…shooting Melissa and Jason’s wedding out in east county. Should be fun, though. I will leave you with a few shots from our Vegas trip…more later, though…

First, let me just say I can sure rock the iPhone camera. :)

Here’s a shot of Lorin and Vanessa at Red Rock Canyon…

While Mike was shooting, Mimi (one of our models) grabbed my phone and snapped this one of me and Vanessa…

Mike has yet to join the technological age…and so he brought his entire desktop computer to work on images in our hotel room. Here’s his setup…

Seriously, get a laptop, bro. And finally, a shot of the mountains. Seriously beautiful…

Peace out, my homies. Stay tuned for pictures from the week.
