We Made a quick trip to the Salton Sea today. A wonderful take of things gone wrong. I love how they felt it was necessary to add a sign saying Salton Beach over the bigger sign saying Salton Beach.

Trombone Shorty
Some quick iphone snaps (via Hipstamatic) of the Trombone Shorty show last night at the world famous Key Club in Hollywood. I’m not sure how it’s world famous, seeing as I’ve never heard of it before, but I’ve been to worse venues.
The show itself was fantastic, 2 hours of non-stop energy, and Troy Andrews is an amazing talent who was equally adept at the Trombone, Trumpet, and vocalist.
After catching the show in LA, it’s quite obvious why the show was sold out in San Francisco and tickets were going for a couple hundred a pop.
Misty Sunrise
A lone fishing boat waits anchored on the misty waters near Puerto Natales in Patagonia, Chile.
Puerto Natales, the gateway to Torres Del Paine in Chilean Patagonia is home to a small fleet of fisherman. The morning fog provides an eerie backdrop for the empty vessels.
Puerto Natales Fishing Boat
During one of our days in Puerto Natales in Chilean Patagonia we woke up early and drove/walked around the shoreline. A heavy fog shrouded most of the waters creating an amazing copper/bronze hue as the sun rose. We explored a large part of this area, fishing boats tied up in the waters with run down rowboats providing transports for the local fisherman created some interesting foregrounds. Another set of photos I’ll eventually get to show a bunch of older boats abandoned along the shore. All in all, a fatantastic walk along the shores on a beautiful morning.

Huntington Beach Sunset
Glorious Huntington Beach Sunset as the sun dips behind the pier. Incoming storm clouds can be seen in the sky, along with a clear view of Catalina in the distance. Long exposure to create a nice glassy ocean effect. Huntington Beach Pier, California.
Yesterday I saw a post from an incredibly talented photographer in Laguna Beach, Scott Sporleder, he mentined that he was going to stop posting photos of sunsets – he needed to remember how to enjoy them without a camera in his hand.
I’m not sure I would know how to do that.

Patagonia
…tap…tap…is this thing on?
Almost took me a second to remember how to update the blog! Having a real job tends to get in the way at times. Here are some photos from our journey down to Patagonia and Chile that I’m just getting around to sharing.
If you have a moment, take a look at the front page of the website as well, I’ve made some changes to the front page photo rotation.
Some thoughts on Patagonia
It’s hard to describe how beautiful Torres del Paine and Patagonia is. A quick iPhone snapshot doesn’t do it much justice, but I’ve been able to post a few on the redinkphotography Facebook page.
Spent the morning photographing various locations around Lago Pehoe, the sun never appeared but the clouds created some amazing skies over the towers.
I felt rusty with the camera in Valparaiso, not so here. I think it’s the location.
Arrive early!
We’ve had an enjoyable few days in Chile, but it’s time for the primary reason we have flown half way across the world…Patagonia! Apparently we were so excited we arrived 3 hours early for our flight, giving Andree time to look over some wedding photos.

Walt Disney Concert Hall – The Pyramids
One of the things I found fascinating about the Walt Disney Concert Hall, was how the shapes and lines of the building resembled different things based on the angle and direction. From some angles you had sweeping lines and curves, from others you are distinct straight lines and harsh edges. From this perspective the building took on the appearance of the Egyptian Pyramids, or even sand dunes reaching in to the desert sky.
