I must say I was quite fascinating with this story i saw on the The Science Channel yesterday, it was all about the LBT (Large Binocular Telescope) if you can check it out, if it interests you as well. I will say this, i have always dreaded not knowing whats coming space wise, and Hubble to me wasnt good enough frankly, but this LBT can tell us and in advance! No fear now once its up and running in full operational mode. Your average binoculars like: Canon L IS WP (10×42) Binoculars, Yet LBT can see 5000×8400!!! / Just to give you an idea of how accurate these can see, they say they could put a soccer ball out past our own galaxy, and be able to easily read the manufacturers label!

For those of you who like Sedona, or who may not have seen it. If you ever get a change to come here don’t pass it up. I live about 80 miles south of there and try to get up there often. The photography opportunities are virtually unlimited. Enjoy the tour. Sedona

Sorry everyone – not been around much. I suddenly got overwhelmed by stuff for my record company and getting ready for my Second Great Arizona Adventure. I leave the UK next week. OMG where did that go. Seems only a couple of days ago it was a month to my departure. Will be back mid March and expect a big hit of AZ pics. LOL. I shall miss y’all. Hugs Andy / (Excited little person)

AZ was wonderful (again). We decided to stay local this time so a typical day would be to set off in the morning somewhere…err….local like one of the national parks, a zoo at one point, a copper mining town (looking for Cornish immigrants or descendents there of), sitting in spiritual vortex’s for a meditate, or just looking for photo opportunities. Then coz eating out is so cheap in the USA one of their huge lunches (which I was never able to fully consume, and whilst ordering, having to explain that I was a vegan and not a veggie else I got offered fish. I learnt that trick on the plane first time round) then home to the ranch to sit by in the pool or read or more meditation. If Cyndi had to do some phone astrological readings (she’s good – gets it spot on with me everytime damn it) I would borrow the jeep drive deeper into the desert; park up then leg it into the wide variously coloured yonder with the camera. Had a navigation problem tho; took several bearings then after wander used to make it back to the road to find myself about a mile away from the jeep. Hmmmm. Was someone moving the mountains around????? Evenings when not partying or having munchies with neighbors were spent being non-plussed by American television. I would be watching a play or something and every ten minutes, and without any prior warning, find myself in a completely non-relevant scene. Took me a while to realise that I was in the middle of an advert for Preparation ‘H’ or similar. But then I get easily confused. Mind you I did the to/from flights from the UK and only got lost in an airport once this time. Anyway about 9.30pm everyone peeled off to his or her beds as did I but not before I sat in the porch UFO watching. Apparently there are so many passing over Sedona that the locals don’t take any notice of them any more. I didn’t see one. Hmmm. Anyroadup the result of the early to bed action would be that I would awaken everyday before dawn. Twas great lying in bed watching the sun come up and if impressive enough stagger out with the camera to capture that or the early touristy balloons floating gently around the mountains. So there you have it – Another Excellent Arizona Adventure. On my return home tho I was confronted by a bit of a disaster. Before I left I burnt all my photoshop Bubble pix to a DVD and cleared 30Gbs of space. I then deleted the pix. I just put the CD into the comp and it’s blank. So I have lost the lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Two things – after the journal entry I made regarding ‘To frame or not to Frame’ I had agreed with the majority and the plan was to delete my framed pix from the bubble then re-upload minus frames. So much for that idea. And the other thing? Well I still have the raw shots in the Kodak programme (successfully burnt to disc). So all is not quite lost. Anyway never mind that I have some scrumptious new AZ shots which if I ever get to the end of the 534 emails aimed at my record label which arrived during my holiday I will get to work uploading. Hope you like them. Actually I played hookie and have a couple ready which I will upload now. Take care Andy

Yep. That about says it…..Back to the grind.. / Just got back from camping for 10 days in Northern Arizona and Southern Utah. I truely can’t get enough of this country. I have had a passion for the southwest since I was very young and I feel extremely fortunate to be able to live that dream.. It has never dissappointed. Maybe that is why we have managed to take 3 visits within the past year. Keep an eye out for some new work… finally? heheh and also watch for new work from some of the guys that also went on the trip. Benjamin / http://www.redbubble.com/people/benjamincharles / Nolan / http://www.redbubble.com/people/nolann I also, finally got a chance to REALLY put the Nikon D300 to the test…. I really love this camera!!!! I will be posting some samples shortly. Hope you all enjoy the work I will be posting and let me know what you think. / Take Care Folks!

Well, I need a break so we are heading to the mountain to rest. No internet, no one knows the phone number, and my cell phone doesn’t get service untill I go down the road. Just peace and quiet. This is sort of my Waldon Pond. It is located only 40 minutes from my house in Summerhaven, Arizona. The temperature on my back porch is 101f. It is in the low 70’s there! I’ll be back in a couple days to catch up on posts and the groups. Cheers!

Alright, hoping to illicit some information here …... I have the opportunity to travel to the Grand Canyon this weekend, staying in Williams, AZ. Plannning on going to the South Rim for sure, and maybe paying the North Rim a visit as well. Since I have never been, any photographic advice? I’m taking the D200, Tokina 12-24mm, Nikon 24-120mm and the Sigma 50-500mm and of course the Tripod. I’m hoping to get Sunrise and Sunset shots. On my way back to Las Vegas, I will also try to visit the Skywalk (glass walkway which literally goes over the top of the Canyon). Any advice is appreciated, is the park open 24 hours, for instance?

I recently discovered a RedBubble group called Tag Along – whose purpose is to link up photographers for photo shoots. The “opportunity” I am about to describe may not precisely fit the group’s ideal, but I am just going to throw it out there, anyhow …..... I am currently on a short-term contract in northern New Mexico, between the cities of Las Vegas (NM – not NV) and Santa Fe. I need to make a mad dash by car, to my home in eastern Nevada (near Ely) – and BACK AGAIN … all within a couple of days’ time. The trip is about 900 miles EACH WAY, and actual driving time is approximately 14 hours EACH WAY—not counting REST STOPS and PHOTO OPS. Departure date is no longer FLEXIBLE. I will be leaving VERY EARLY tomorrow morning (TUESDAY – 2009.OCT.27), returning no later than the evening of WEDNESDAY, 2009.OCT.28 My usual route includes Mesa Verde, the Four Corners area, and the magnificent Escalante and Canyonlands of Utah. Sadly, there will not be a LOT of spare time for exploring, or waiting around for the absolutely BEST LIGHT … but … well … if anybody wants to jump in as co-pilot on this whirlwind “adventure” - please BMail me OR email: PHOTOROVER@GREATBASINLIFE.COM …... IMMEDIATELY (if not sooner). I am open to the idea of somebody hitching along for only part of the way, or in either direction. I’ll buy the gas; you cover your own meals and any other expenses. For my security, I will require a scan of your driver’s license, and a recent photo – which will be e-mailed to a third party for the duration of the trip, and then destroyed. Thanks! PS: Must love dogs. :) * / So! You missed it! I flew solo, and what a neat trip this was, despite the RUSH …... here are a few scenes from along the way …..... / Veyo, UT / / BlackRock, AZ / / Vermillion Cliffs Naitonal Monument* – Arizona / / —MORE TO FOLLOW --

This will be the the last journal entry I will be posting on redbubble. I just wanted to say thank you all again, your support has been very inspiring and overwhelming. I may be back someday, but for now my life has simply led me in a different direction. I will still maintain my Deviant art site as a test site for images before they are loaded as prints for purchase on my own domain. If you would like to keep up and see what I have been doing you are more than welcome to watch me there, do be advised it will not be the most up to date versions of my photos though: / http://benjamin-charles.deviantart.com My most current and purchasable prints will be most efficiantly and directly accessed through my new domain: / http://www.bcphotography.us On a final note a few friends and I made it into the Outdoor Photographer Natures Colors contest finals. I am not a competitive person at all really so I will advertise for everyone… I wish you all the best of luck, and am so proud to see all of us in there.
