This past month I was introduced to fly fishing and I have really taken to it. Just being on the river surrounded by nature is enough for me. Fly fishing is a very challenging sport that takes a lot of knowledge and skill. Its been fun and frustrating just trying to learn how to cast, what the fish are eating, how to read the river and how to untangle line. I'm sure I'm a couple years from getting to the point of being good at it but that's part of the fun(sometimes). Here are a couple shot that I took on my last 3 trips.

Sean Kerrick and I set up some flashes and setup some scenes. It was pretty fun to shoot different subjects and collaborate with Sean and Josh(background).
Sean's first fish of 2010.
Josh checking out the sunset.
One night we went on a little camping excursion along the river. The moon came out and I was able to get a couple moonlit shots along the river.
This is the scene that we woke up to. A couple inches of fresh snow giving the may landscape a winter like feel.
Sean caught about every fish in the river. Here are a couple to prove that. I had a fish on my line for a little but the line got caught on some rock and I had to snap it. And the learning continues.
I had be trying to get together with Jo Blake to shoot some photos of him dancing and after a long(but well worth it) wait we were able to coordinate our schedules. Joe is getting ready to start another round at Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company and they will have some performances ready by the fall. Here are a few examples of Joe's amazing talent.
The water was a little chilly so we had to do a couple short shoots. Joe was a good sport even though he was dancing barefoot in icy water. He still made it look graceful somehow.
