It took 14 hours, three jets, a car, a sea plane, a kayak and some walking to get to my destination. There are no hotels, no houses, but I have cameras. I am shooting an engagement session for my clients who are getting married at the Grand Canyon in June 2013. But we are no where near the Grand Canyon. In fact it is quite the opposite of the Grand Canyon. While writing this, I don’t actually know what to expect or much more about the location, other than we have to bring our own food, because there is no food where we are going. I suppose I could eat ants. But we’ll cart our own food along.
I will be bringing several cameras, a Canon Mark III and a Canon G15. I’ll have over 140 GB of card space and 8 fully charged camera batteries, several flashes with 32 AA batteries and a compliment of lenses. Oh and a camera backpack to hold it all.
This post was pre-scheduled because I am unable to post a photo from this location, so you will have to see the images when I get back.
So, where am I?
It could be cold…
Or it could be warm…
It could be high…
It could be low…
Could be in the ocean…
Could be on land…
I don’t know enough about the place to give you many more clues, other than to say, I’ll be using a lot of modes of transportation to get to the middle of nowhere… a place I am always interested in visiting.
And don’t worry. I’ll photograph it. Those of you who know me or have heard me lecture, know how many images I can shoot in a day. I’ll be sure to show you the best.
If you are family or close friend and actually know where I am, 1)don’t spoil the surprise and 2) if I don’t re-surface by Sunday the 27th, send out a rescue party! I’ll be sure to let you know when I land…
I’m not sure if you have posted your location yet, but I’m guessing St. John Is. Only because that sounds like the route I have to take to shoot a wedding there in July 😉
Hey Jared, I guess that you’ll be in Alaska!! Maybe near Juneau. My second guess is the San Juan islands near Seattle. My third guess is somewhere in the Caribbean (much warmer than the first two). Maybe Viequez in Puerto Rico…have fun and looking forward to the photos! best, Simon
Simon, you are getting warmer with the warmer option. I don’t think I’d take a job getting wet in cold water.
