This was the most incredible night to capture the Milky way and the Moonrise. It was warm, no wind, and super clear skies with zero light pollution. I stayed out all night here in this spooky yet welcoming warm place. I love being and feeling completely alone in these places.. its good for the soul... ya know.. anyways.. I wasn't completely alone.. I had my neighboring coyotes howling, and of course ET checking in on me.

I had an "honest to God and all creators" UFO encounter. NOT KIDDING! We are not alone. I am pretty sure it was ET flying this smooth space craft? Hmmmm Love you ET. ET jokes aside, and By definition, UFO is an "Unidentified flying object." We all know this... Well, This isn't the first time I have witnessed this kind of glowing orb like silent gliding object in the night skies. But its the first time I've been lucky enough to capture it with my camera. This night in particular I was shooting the beautiful rocky desertscape and the milky way at White Pocket in the Arizonan desert. Out of nowhere, it appeared. It was WAY to close to be a satelite and FAR too large. And it moved differently. It certainly wasn't an aircraft or plane that navigate our night skies. Skies were clear, no clouds, no wind, and no moonlight, or surrounding light pollution. But there it was, out of NOTHING, it appeared. It seemed to just hover and glide slowly but swiftly. It was extremely bright. It didn't travel in the trajectory like a plane does or a satelite. It didn't bounce around or go up and down like that, but it didn't seem to follow a strait line or path either. Just as it had appeared out of thin air, it disappeared into nothingness. CRAZY. Not a few moments later, it reappeared, but not in a place youd expect in a normal travel pattern. I tried getting a video with my phone camera, but decided, I gotta get my real camera/tripod out of my truck and fire some shots. I did, and this alien craft was kind enough to allow me to do so. Thankyou alien friends. So, this image is what I experienced, And honest to goodness. I'm a believer in the great cosmos of the unknown.. WE ARE NOT ALONE!
I had a similar experience in south eastern Utah earlier this year in May. I was in the Hovenweep area shooting some of the ruins in the night skies... posted below. Same type of craft, but I didn't get a picture of that one. That one freaked me out a bit more then this last one, because everything went so QUIET and the hairs on my neck and arm raised and I got the most incredible chills (goosebumps) I've ever had. Anyways... believe or dont' all the same these have been incredible experiences for me.
Exuse me now... I have to go Phone home. :)

I was so grateful to be able to play this wonderful digital piano at my brothers. After hours of working next door doing the renovations, I'd sit down and let my fingers dance around for a much needed mental reset. I played this tune a few times and then thought... DANG, I really like where this is going.. So i decided to record the tune as to not forget it later. I never play the same song twice. I play by ear and fall apart when playing in front of people. So my best work comes in the quiet and behind the scenes. Please excuse how I look bahahaha (my daughter would say) I'm sweaty, tired and in my grubs and look awfully ridiculous haha... Anyways, thats the story behind the this song. Coming from San Diego... ENJOY.

I'm looking for some HELP!!! I desperately need a talented and motivated "social media marketing/networking" knowledgeable person to help advance/enhance both our careers. This would be a great opportunity to build an exciting portfolio for someone wanting to get into this type of marketing... I have a lot of potential and should be selling a lot more of my artwork. Sadly this is not my area of expertise, and i truly suck at this part. By the time I'm done with acquiring the images, traveling, editing, orgainzing and website creation....I'm caputte.. I have the content and variety to market to a very broad target of peoples/buyers. I just NEED the HELP and someone that can see the potential and isn't afraid of putting in some hours and hard work to get things going.

Goals
1- I've purchased an additional website name:
xplorrr.co This is to be used as a BLOG, (not replacement) but an addition to my online portfolios....
The idea behind this blog is to share the best images from each adventure while telling the behind the scenes stories that go along with acquiring them.
2- Website re-structure and content organization.
I need to get my best work into ONE gallery for easy sales! or perhaps there is a better way...?
3- Start somewhere with google placements, target market advertising. This is where someone else can SHINE.


These are my goals, and I can't do it all.
If anybody has read this far and has any thoughts... I will gladly appreciate it.
Thanks for reading and please pass along to any friends or family that you think might be interested.

If you’re like me, you get annoyed at the “fairy tale” successful life stories. They usually go something like this: – I had a dream.…

Congratulations to Alan and Amy. I spent the entire day with these two adventure nutz, in the St. George area. They tired me out good. We started our photo adventure with a flat tire, (no more dirt road driving for Amy) haha... Lots and lots of dirt roads, and a few miles of hiking afforded us a very unique experience and we were able to capture some awesome engagement images.
