My Life Outside of Photography Thoughts and findings that don't always relate to Photography

Places to Go

So as much as I try to do these big long road trips and take thousands of pictures of new places.

I decided that I should try to explore more of my own backyard.

Places nearer to home.

A photographer that used to live around the area gave some good suggestions
Anyone else have some thoughts on the subject

His short list

  • Backside of Timp
  • Cascade Springs road
  • Albion Basin (near snowbird)
  • Timp Basin
  • American Fork Canyon
  • Silver Lake Flats
  • Big Springs (S. Fork Canyon)
  • Deer Creek Resevoir (Up on a ridge)

I want to make sure I hit these bigger spots as well, Further Away

  • Great Basin National Park
  • Some Trips to The Great Salt Lake
  • Bryce
  • Full Narrows Hike (Zions)
  • Capitol Reef
  • Tetons
  • Glacier Nat. Park

Write in suggestions... Near and Far (not too far)... I already know lots of far away places i want to go.

Mexcio is not Tijuana

Mexico

I'm always told this by people from Mexico and people that have been in Mexico a lot.

I grew up just outside of tijuana and I understood what they were saying.

But after a week in a mexican city hundreds of miles from Tijuana now I have a further understanding of it, Tijuana is really a different world. Yes there are some similarities but it really does differ a bunch.

Traveling advice:
By the way electronics are always more expensive anywhere outside of the United states... the only place you might do alright are Port Towns.
