Since I can’t be in Denver for GABF this weekend, I guess I’ll have to settle for sitting here in Bend sipping what may be the best beer I’ve ever had.

Chip: Photography is Like Life, Init?

Photographers know to always be ready. The best shot may be the one you aren’t expecting.

The Balloons Over Bend festival was in town this weekend. I got up early this morning and headed down to Riverbend Park to hopefully get some nice shots of hot air balloons, which I have never photographed before.

I found a spot up on the hill behind the park (the hill where my office is located, in fact), set up the tripod and waited for the festivities to commence. But apparently it was too windy, and sadly no balloons were going to fly. Which sucked – if you’re going to crawl out of bed at 5:30am on a Sunday, you don’t want it to be in vain.

But then, as I was sitting there, this happened.

Supermoon, High Desert

This isn’t the shot I had hoped for. Sadly, the clouds were harshing my buzz as the moon rose. Maybe next month.

Sunset, Pilot Butte

Taken last evening on Pilot Butte here in Bend. I’m new to town, so don’t hold me to this, but I think the second peak from the left is Mt. Bachelor and the cluster to the right is the Sisters. If I’m wrong, anyone who knows the area can feel free to correct my geography.
