What happened to my model????

On Monday, I prepared all day for my first model shoot in many years. One of my co-workers volunteered to model for me so I could get some stock work done plus practice doing some regular portrait type shots that I have little experience doing.

Well I was pretty nervous on Monday as anyone who reads my Twitter blurbs will know. However, I didn't want to waste the nice day so I headed up to the Jordan Peace Gardens and took some shots around there before heading to where my model and co worker "S" and I agreed to meet.

So the appointed time came and went and she never showed up. I just couldn't understand why she didn't show up or even call since she is not that type of person. The next day when I was leaving work I found out what had happened.

Well it turned out she was marooned with car problems in the mountains with some friends and one of them had to walk for 24 hours to get a cell phone signal. Fortunately they were able to get help and get back home.

Well, I guess if your going to get stood up it might as well be a dozy of a reason.

We are going to try again this week and I made her promise that she would not take any long driving trips on Sunday or Monday.

Then maybe I will have a nice picture to go with the story...

On November 1st, the Photowalking Utah group did a trip up to Antelope Island. During this period the state parks dept is checking on the health of the Bison, picking ones to be sold and giving them shots.

This was the first picture I took that day and one of the few I really liked. The bison to the right seems to be staring at us weird humans who are taking a bunch of pictures.
