Whistler weekend day 2

After getting a good nights rest, and a hearty breakfast, off to whistler we went. if you haven’t been following along, you meet our motley crew in whistler, on a weekend getaway including such fun activities as walking and zip-lining! craziness!

so, we hit whistler, and well, there competitions, concerts and who knows what (seriously, i can’t remember) going on. But its super packed with people, and fun vibe. in the parking lot, we saw this awesome van. who wouldn’t want to drive around canada in this bad boy? i was this close to buying it and going on a cross canada tour! whaa whaaat?!!

speaking of being a photographer, i challenged myself and only took the 35/1.8 with me on this adventure.

i love doing this. should just remember to put someone i know in the background.

Brent got some pictures of noa and i, but we haven’t gotten those from him yet, so once i do, ill post them.
i did take a ton of shots as i was crossing with my camera, and i wanted to compose it into a video, which i still have to do also.

lastly, we did buy the photos that they take on the last zipline. its special because you get to go upside down, so you can see me furiously trying to release with both hands, but its really hard to mentally do so.

whoa…

what a weekend. thanks to our hosts for the wonderful time, it was so nice to actually stay in whistler, instead of having to drive back the same day. it was a fun, action filled, relaxing weekend. just what we needed.

and i’ll leave you will a final shot. of some bark. west coast bark.
