A Road Trip with the Cousins | Grand Canyon Skywalk

after shooting peter and susans wedding, and since family was pretty much all together, a couple of us decided to head to the grand canyon and vegas with the family from taiwan. fun times as i dont get much of a chance to really spend an extended amount of time with family outside my immediate family.

we had a chance to visit the grand canyon skywalk. ive never seen a bigger tourist trap haha. its a place to go only once…thats if you have ~$80/person for a ticket. read the reviews here and be mindful before you decide to go: yelp.

and if youve talked to me before about photography, youll know that i love ultra wide landscapes w/ clouds. one day i hope for some time to just go out with my narrow 50mm and do some different type of photography.

i dont think i will ever get sick of flying and enjoying the view from up here

The Lee Family

lets take a break with a different type of post ok?

there arent many opportunities for me to take family portraits because i have so many weddings to get through but remember nathanael (wow look at those old photos haha)? well now nathanael is all grown up and brian and jo have another little boy micah! im sure these boys have much fun with brian and jo as their parents and they will grow up as playful and god fearing as them too.

these little dudes love flying. maybe in the future ill have someone to talk airplanes with.
