Horseshoe Bend Page Arizona

Horseshoe Bend Page Arizona

Here is one of the famous Horseshoe Bend in Page Arizona. I have seen so many photos of this place and have been wanting to shoot it, but I really wanted to get a different perspective, so I flew over it and shot this from the air.

We spend the night in an RV on the parking lot and woke up bright and early for sunrise. It was awesome and worth the early rise. Shortly after we headed to Antelope Canyon.

Miami Beach Fishing

Its not every morning I wake up and find fisher man out on the beach. Its usually surfers, and beautiful girls doing yoga, but today there was a couple fisher man. The ocean was so calm and quiet, and the fish were biting. Once 6:45 hit, the colors just started getting crazy. Not a bad way to start the week. We will see what tomorrows sunrise has in store for us…

Miami Beach Sunrise Meet Up

Miami Beach Sunrise Meet Up

Here are a few photos from the recent Miami Sunrise Meet Up I hosted before my crazy trip to the West coast. The conditions were not perfect when I first got there, the sky was clear and the scenery look kind of flat, suddenly the clouds started rolling in and the sun stared to rise making this a beautiful Miami Sunrise. I’ll be hosting another sunrise meet up on the beach so stay tuned…

Miami Beach Sunrise

4 am I open my eyes, I look at the clock and realize I am not going back to bed. I turn on the tv and its forensic files, I look at the clock and its 5:30 am. At this point I’m thinking about the ocean and an amazing sunrise but I’m glued to my bed, next thing you know I get this image in my head. I look at the clock ant its 6:15am. I jump out of bed throw on some shorts grab my camera and go to the beach. The sky was perfect.

The first image is what I had in my head while laying in my bed, but when I got there and I started walking around I realized there was lots more potential and more awesome angles to be had.
