When my friend Ryan asked me to shoot some athletic shots of him for his new business, Paleo is Possible, I jumped at the idea. I recommended the calisthenics park in Lincoln Park that I frequently pass on my runs up the Lakefront Trail. Ryan is Primal Health Coach certified, and for anyone looking for a nutrition, fitness and overall well-being coaching, I would encourage you to check out his website.
This is the Manhattan Skyline from the Brooklyn Bridge Marina. It’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been out shooting a few times over the course of the past couple of months but just haven’t felt the urge to put up any of the shots that I got. After getting up at the crack of dawn to get this shot and a few others which i’ll be posting in the coming weeks, I finally felt like I had something cool to share.

I actually took a very similar shot to this several weeks ago only to find that my camera lens was so covered in dust that it was unfixable (my fault for not zooming in after I thought I had it captured). I came back and had similar lighting and got the same long exposure style shot I was going for. This is Café Brauer at the Lincoln Park Zoo.

While visiting Los Angeles this past weekend, we made a day trip to San Diego and a stop here at La Jolla Beach where we spotted these famous sea lions. It was a pleasant surprise for us as we made the stop looking for some good landscape photo opps at sunset. We saw a large group of people surrounding this area and our first guess was that they were watching the surfers, so you can imagine our surprise when we walked up to see these sea lions who seemed comfortable with humans just a couple of feet away.

While I haven't taken any major trips in some time, it has been fun going through my old Iceland pictures. When I first got back from my trip I must have glossed over this one, but looking back it really captures what Iceland was like with the waterfalls, blue skies, mountain ranges and of course waterfalls.
