Havasu

Recently went with the boys on a 2-day backpacking trip to Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon and a small hike in Death Valley on the way back. Havasu Falls and the surrounding area is simply amazing in the Spring. We even had one of the waterfalls to ourselves in the late afternoon. Definitely a place I will return to in the future.

Linked up with my pal Robert again to take some pictures of him trail running. Not two minutes into shooting a ranger told me to stop and put my lights away and that I needed a permit for photography. I wasn’t going to leave such a lovely location without photos, so I convinced the ranger to let us use only a reflector. Hats off to my friend Sandra for holding a reflector so well in the wind, and Robert for showing me my new favorite location.

Some action shots of Robert Rhodes of baytrailrunners.com a short walk from my apartment in San Francisco. Robert was great to work with and I’m glad I was able to use the steps I used to run on (note to self: less pork, more steps). Thanks to my boy Noel for being the impervious human light stand.
