Wanda11_04_04.jpg

Wanda and I had to be in Moab, Utah today for a little business. We did get an hour to play. We thought we had better get our "picture a day" picture done. We went to a little arch called Sand Dune Arch in Arches National Park. This little arch is in a slot canyon. At midday the wall opposite the arch is in full sun and it reflects back beautiful orange light. This picture is for a dear Czech friend. We always take pictures of ourselves doing something silly when we travel together. Jiri...this one is for you.

This image is so ME, being Me! I love to be a goof and act silly every chance I get. When I am out exploring the beauty mother nature has provided for us, you will always see Me in a baseball cap and denim.

Bill, your response to my saturation comment certainly makes sense. I stand corrected. Its a wonderful shot.

beautiful picture.

Tim, I need to take you into a slot canyon sometime. This is toned down from reality. The whole area glowed a deep orange-ish red. Imagine a huge red reflector not 30 feet from where wanda is standing.

Bill, I enjoyed this photo, as I do ALL your photos. You are a truly skilled and talented photographer and Wanda, obviously, is a model worthy of your talents. That being said, I do think you may have gone just a tad strong in post processing with the saturation slider. Its a minor quibble...beautiful photography, beautiful model, as always.

This picture is great, the colour is fabulous and Wanda looks like she's having a good time.
Much better than tomorrow's picture (Did I tell you I'm psychic?)

Wow...I HAVE to get up to Utah and do some work in the National Parks in that area. Bill, how far apart are some of the parks from one another? How far from Yellowstone. If I can make it..I'm thinking of trying to do several..in your experience, is that possible?

How can anyone not recognise Wanda, she is a PaD icon!
Ray :)05-Nov-2004 12:09
I didn't recognise her here at first! Lovely colouring.

I agree, the color is amazing. Cheryl and I so have to see the rest of this great country. Obviously you love it so much your cheering...."Gimme a...." What letter is that anyway?

If I have learned anything about you both from this gallery it is that you are the happiest people on the planet. Or more truthfully that you both love life and enjoy it everyday. Thank you and God bless!
