VW Camper at the Snake River

Found a great little campground right on the Snake River.  Beware of the mosquitoes and bears though.  The droppings were as thick as the bugs!

The morning brought some really cool fog.

VW at Monument Valley

Here we are at the Monument Valley 'campground.' Dusk at the mittens. It was a very windy trip, and we ran over lots of tumbleweeds. But we had a great time with our dogs and the bus.

76 VW Van Not Ready for the Pasture

Ha! It seems as though I haven't updated this blog in a few years. I've been spending most of my blog time over at agassizimaging.blogspot.com posting and talking about landscape photography. I started this blog to chronicle some of my travel exploits and most of it includes campervanning in Kristi's (and mine by virtue of labor) 76 Type II Transporter Westfalia Campmobile. I've since purchased a newer van and am in the process of retro-fitting it to be the ultimate 4x4 Campmobile. Anyway the next few post will be a closer look at the Volkswagen, where it's been and what kind of modifications we made to keep it running and a viable as a camper van.


The image posted here was taken at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon with some off camera lighting and high Iso.

The Shower is Done!

It took only seven months and $7k but the steam shower is done, and works great! Its always nice to see a vision come to fruition, even if it takes 5 years and countless hours of work, a little blood, and a lot of money (for me).
Building it took about 3 months, piece by piece, cut by cut. The shower glass guys took 4 months to finally get it right. Check it out!

AGASSIZ IMAGING - My New Web Site

I am excited to announce that I have a new web site dedicated to the best of the best of my photos. I have put them in a smug mug gallery linked to my dedicated website. For only $60 for two years I can have a web address, free hosting and a gallery. I decided to ramp up my photography and see if I can make my hobby pay for itself. So far, so good. I chose the name Agassiz Imaging for my 'company' name, as well as the domain name. The name comes from Louis Agassiz who was a French naturalist, that came to the US to teach. He then became renowned for his work on fossilized fishes. The Agassiz name has been given to many landmarks around here such as one of the local peaks of the San Francisco Peaks, and a street that's a block away from my house. It seemed a fitting name, better than Wade photo, or Thorson imaging. With out any further ado... check out the link over there to the right ---------------->
