Hi all. I'm on a shooting trip through the states. Currently sitting in my truck in some place called Tonopah Nevada. At the "Clown Motel" borrowing wifi. Heading into Death Valley today. It's gettin' hot! Should be some interesting sites to see. Will continue down through Arizona and Maybe into Mexico and then up the California coast. Look for the album of images when I get back in Late July. To contact me please email to c3plato@hotmail.com.

I recently bought some new gear including macro and fish-eye lenses and it was a beautiful spring day yesterday. After getting tired of testing it out on bottlecaps and objects around the house over the past few days I headed over to my friend Brians backyard for some inspiration around his garden. I found you can get some good macro range out of the fisheye, and the old manual focus macros still take nice sharp images.

As some of you may know I broke my tib fib when I hit a stump on the ski hill a little over a month ago. I had surgery to pin it and although it was pretty nasty at first things are feeling much better now. Athough it will stil be a while before I can put full weight on it and get onto physio to get back out there. Luckily or not so luckily I've been through this before, no sweat.

What I'd like to do this summer is include some more wedding and portraite work.
