A Night of Bouldering at Buffalo Park

     I just returned from my WFR trip to Yosemite, and decided, with the help of friends, that I should start up a photography blog. Two of my best friends welcomed me back to Flagstaff with a night full of bouldering at Buffalo Park just nearby my house.
     In addition to my usual landscapes, I have gotten very interested in telling some stories with my images, and seeing what I can capture if I have my camera on me at all times of the day. This blog is intended to encourage me to practice photography in other areas, as well as my writing and story telling. So I started by bringing my camera with me on what I thought was going to just be a normal climbing trip.

Unloading the car at Buffalo Park, getting ready to walk out to the boulders.

As usual, we tend to take our time.

As we started our descent into the boulder field, the fantastic sunset hit its peak, illuminating the park in some nice purples and pinks.

Jarod climbing on Centerpiece, which in my opinion is one of the more beautiful rocks in the area.

Mark on Commando, about to throw to the arete.

This is my favorite shot, as it encompasses the entire night for me. All of our gear is in the photograph, as well as my two friends. The sparse lighting nicely illuminates only the important part of the scene. Not a bad return from a vacation!
