Leah and I went out to have some drinks at the Pelican Bar, which was built right in the water on top of a sand bar by a Jamaican fisherman. It is only accessible by boat, and we got thoroughly soaked by a tropical rain storm on our way back.

Last Sunday Leah and I shared one of our best days in Utah with my sister in law Liz and her boyfriend Dylan. We started the day skiing powder at Snowbird after a 30″ storm, then drove to Moab and made it in time for the sunset. I took this photograph that evening in Arches National Park in The Garden of Eden, and it combines these two landscapes – the dry desert red rocks with the snowy peaks of the La Sals in the background.

I am proud to announce that this image was selected out of 1,419 submissions to appear in “Human + Being”, a juried group show which will be on display from March 25, 2011 until April 23, 2011 at The Center For Fine Art Photography in Fort Collins, Colorado. The juror Phil Borges chose one image as his Juror’s selection and my image was chosen as one of two honorable mentions for the show. Not bad for an image that I took without even looking through the viewfinder! I shot this image “from the hip” using zone focusing combined with very high ISO and a high shutter speed with a wide angle lens. The picture was taken just outside of Kejetia Market in Kumasi, Ghana last year. Kejetia Market is the largest open air market in Africa. You can see more of my photographs from Ghana here. I will to try to make it to the opening on April 1, 2011.

Preston Farm and Winery in northern Sonoma Valley was our favorite of the Wineries we visited on our trip to wine country a few weeks ago. It is an unpretentious place with a beautiful garden and courtyard. Leah is smiling because she just discovered some olives that she actually likes after years of refusing them. I try them myself every once in a while but I still do not like the taste, so I am jealous. I will keep trying though, as I have discovered a taste for some of my favorite foods only in the past few years, such as avocados, mussels, and raw oysters.
