Lexi and I got married! We made our own wedding rings from some stainless steel that was in my workshop. But the nice added touch was melting some pre-1982 copper pennies on top to add a center accent line.

Everyone thinks that their dog is the cutest and best animal ever.

Arches National Park in Utah - I drove around and stopped at a few choice places to grab some photos. You can't walk in here without a permit (and I didn't have one).

Taken while I was hanging my head out the passenger window of the Tesla!

While driving the Tesla through Durango I stopped to grab a couple of pictures. This was taken across from a place that sold fresh honey.

A beautiful picture from Durango.

More pictures from Lahaina during awesome sunsets. This was taken past the reef where the waves are gentle.

More gorgeous sunset photos from Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii.

There is a luau every evening next door to where we are staying in Lahaina. Every night right around sunset we would watch them take an outrigger out into the ocean and paddle back in to do a small arrival ceremony for the tourists. We finally decided to get a closer look and I grabbed a few photos.

This is one photo grabbed from the multiple exposures that I setup for creating a time lapse video. Taken from Lahaina Shores in Maui. Camera: Canon 5D Mark III:

Torch Ginger (Etlingera elatior) growing in Hana, Maui, Hawaii. The eastern side of Maui is a lush, wet rain forest where these gigantic ginger plants create the most beautiful red blossoms.

I took a ton of pictures with my Canon 5D and created this awesome time lapse video.

Some footage of the Chupacabra trail in Santa Cruz.

Sunsets in Maui are fabulous! I took this picture hand held from our balcony with my Canon 5D Mark III. 5 exposures combined together in Photomatix to create a vibrant HDR, pulling out some of the colors a bit, and then upping the contrast in Lightroom.

Waimea Canyon in Kauai - an HDR photo where I combined 5 exposures to generate one beautiful image.

The Napali Coast as seen from a boat.

While traveling in Hanalei on the island of Kauai in the early morning I snapped a picture of some of the trees.

The first in a series of videos on how do to unicycle backpacking: unipacking! This shows how I setup the unicycle with a standard off the shelf rack and some custom panniers.

Here are links to all the Google Maps for our Arizona Trail Unicycle adventure. Note that I started in Tucson to join my friends who got a 5 day head start. These were created by recording each day with Strava.
