December

by Fire Girl Jess on December 2, 2011

Hard to believe that it is December. The year has passed by in a blur of moving boxes, camera bags, and blog posts. It’s finally a rainy morning here in Austin; though with the temperature in the 70s it hardly feels seasonal. December always seems like it should bring sub-zero cold and snow, like this image from Montana’s Madison Valley.  Temperatures had dropped below freezing and a cold fog was banked along the mountains.  I tromped up to an old corral and started shooting; several images and frozen fingers later I climbed back into the Suby with some of my favorite images to date.

This December, though, will be filled with images like this – the Guadalupe River here in Texas.  This is from a fishing assignment earlier this year.  At one point I left the anglers and explored a bit of the river on my own.  The soft focus creates a bit of a ‘dreamy’ look to the image and somehow makes even the Guadalupe look palatable.  Still, though, I’d take the top image any day… watching for wolves beats watching for snakes in my book.

Posting will be a bit slower through the month – I’ve booked myself a bit overloaded.  I’ll still be around, but don’t be surprised if posts become once a week or so for a while.  I will also be writing a bit more for the guys over at ChiWulff.
