DUCK BEACH

DUCK BEACH 08!

So this last weekend was the annual Duck Beach extravaganza. This was my second time going down to check out the scene. The first time I went to the Outer Banks in North Carolina, I thought it was money. I drove down strictly for the reason so I could take my truck on the 4 wheel drive beaches...otherwise known as the Dunes. Let me just tell you that it was money...I'm talking 401k style. The weekend had a lot of good highlights but mainly just being a beach bum for four days. The weather was great and the beaches were even better. Here are a few of the photos from the weekend. For some better accounts check out my peeps Rachel and Destiny for their take on the weekend.

Marathon Saturday

So this last Saturday, my friend and I Michelle woke up at the crack...literally before the crack of dawn to go downtown to shoot some sunrise shots. This all sounded like a good idea but when you stay up to watch the Jazz beat the Rockets when the game starts at 10:45 and ends after 1:00, the 4:50 alarm comes a little quick. I zipped downtown and got there about 5:30...yeah I was tired. We took some shots up by Iwo Jima and then went down to the Lincoln. After that we zipped over to Union Station to finish up our shooting. Union Station was a little tricky but still fun. Anyway, Michelle thought it was funny that I was having a hard time closing one eye while focusing the camera. I'm still working on closing one eye but for the time being, I had to do what I had to to get it done. I'd do it again if I had to. This is all an effort to get me closer to buying my own Canon 40d which I hope will be shortly because when I go out, I want to be able to use my own weapon andn become more and more familiar with it! All in all, it was way fun and can't wait to go out again! Oh, and by the way, I shot with a Nikon...I'm not a fan.

After shooting, I had intentions to play golf but it didn't work out but I was still able to squeeze in two different tennis matches sandwiched with an epic ping pong battle that lasted over an hour. Then topped off with a Chipotle burritto...yeah life was good!
