I met up with Kim at a campsite that was near the plateau on Friday night and proceeded to make plans for an early morning trip on Saturday. Kim is a longtime commercial photographer, and I hoped that he would give me insight into that world.
We arrived at the parking area at around 5:15. To our amazement, there was a lot of activity. Apparently, BMW had hired a crew to shoot a commercial for their next year’s ad campaign. There were vans, trucks, and RV’s all over the place. Not to mention the two cars that were constantly being covered up to avoid any “spy photos” being taken.
Well, we got a few anyway, just for fun. I thought they were going to ask us to see our pics, and then delete them, but Kim and I managed to get out of the area unscathed. It was very interesting to see how much “crew” was needed in order to shoot the video.
Kim and I headed back to our camp and uploaded our images from the day. The wind picked up and I found the area around our campsite full of
We met the Gamby family at the parking area and headed uphill to a great area that was full of flowers. Of course, we had to avoid the poison oak first…
Makena was full of energy and was an absolute delight to watch (and try to photograph). Cameron wouldn’t look at me long enough to get many images. But… it was very fun!
Look at those eyes! What did she just discover? I want to see it too! If only us "adults" could look at the world with such open eyes...
Making the images of the kids reminded me of the days that I took my family to the same spot when my children were young.
It was indeed an excellent weekend.
