2024-Kookie

4/29

I saw this guys on Mt P a couple of times, a nasty sky n so I worked on an album cover for their release :) Took a couple pics for these girls n TheMick came up. I should have used portrait night shot but it is a good shot.. (with cous Brian) I saw these guys with their little dog, feet dangling over the edge n thought a great shot.









4/28

Got there early n got on a high spot observing em on the trail, saw these guys doing a selfie, I wasnt quick enough n asked em to do it again.. hope they find this pic. Saw a guy walking up the trail with shorts and one of those criminal trackers on his leg, didnt take a pic, he must have been so proud. Did pics of several people with their camera.. n thought these girls were gonna escape with out getting a good shot, so I asked em and did em with their camera n mine The couple, saw em strolling along n found the travled a long way to get to mt p.. n too boot it was his bd 🙂 The couple with their back, I turned the comp down a couple notches n took a couple till I got this one. The two on the blanket, said I took their pic a couple years ago. he was carring on his shoulder cave man style 🙂 I got in position thought I would try to capture Luke n the bike flying in the air, it did a bunch but the detail lost looking into the lights. Puparonia got lots of pets n it was one of my better days 🙂

4/22

Weather guy letting me know this would be one of the good days for a few, n so I finished the exercises n started moving.

A dad was walking up the trail with his boy on his shoulders n I used his camera to record the magic moment.. I think this is the kind of stuff people hold.. n another family I took their pic with their cameran

Spotted a dragon lizard attacking this guy n asked em for a pic.

I get there early because it is tough for me to make it up the hill, really too early for pics but when someone wants a pic when it is bright, their back to the sun, me standing higher at post 32

Saw Christina n Benny .. looking back thinking do I know ???

Yep a super cute n nice yoga girl who is easy to talk to.

Puparonia attacked her .. then I captured an earth day pic .

Some boys down on the rock thinking I was scolding em.. hmmm imagine that :)

On the way down, Luke coming up craning his wheels n Puparonia wagging her tail n he stopped to ruin his run .. :)

This year started out right n I might try to get out of the rut holding me down, after all it is unlikely there is lots more left of me :)









4/19

Wondered if the new girl would ever come back again. A few do return but if they move a distance away  hope not

I took several people's pics with their cameras n was gonna give up because I forgot the phone light n needed to go to the store.. n I saw a girl come up with a nice camera . tried to get come candid shots but I was too far away 

n Then when I asked her for a pic, she told me I had taken pics b4 and showed me she still has it on her phone.

The sky wasn't playing nice and I dabbled with colors n stuff

A guy n girl n little dog came by n I got a couple pics of them, then I saw a couple taking pics of each other n I did one with their camera and mine.

When I get to experiment n people know me, it adds a bit of sparkel n my mundane existence. 

Luke came up and I kind of introduced em .. forgot names .. but forgetting lots of things.
N she fessed up she did not know what to think of the old picture taking guy the first time.. 
I wonder how many others have scary stories about the sasquatch on Mt P.


















 

4/15

Saw there were gonna be several cloudy days n so we had to do the deed.

Puparonia ready to jump n the Jeep.

I took several pics of othrs with their cameras on the way to the post.

At the end I took lots of others with their cameras n was gonna get Luke n a special pic when I moved em to the spot some girls started talking n then I asked em for a pic down below then up for the sunset n they invited Luke to be in the pic, then I did one of just them.

I had some duds tonight with the flah n lense but will post em in case someone wants them.
Sunflare but kind of used some tricks.





Puparonia making new friends
Right after I took this family I was sure I took a pic of the couple but they do not exist.













Kookie would have turned 9 today. The sun tonight with the shiloutte one of out Mt Pleasant girl took of me n Kookie.

These girls let me play photographer n so I asked em for a pic with Puparonia.




Kind of hard with one of these pumpkins much shorter but did the pic from above to show the fairgrounds below.
