I have grown to find beauty in a lot of things, I have a love for everything from the old and tarnished to the modern shiny and strange with a particular love for glass and beautiful landscapes. Most of my stock comes from everyday life and that includes ShopEmeraldUmbrella.com items which are alot of my more unique props. 2015 will be a year of strange and cool with a few adventures & misadventures along the way. Not everything that I shoot makes it to stock so feel free to watch at http://www.EmeraldUmbrellaStudio.com If you have any sort of comment or criticism or requests feel free to comment on one of my images.
Thank you for reading & have a wonderful year.

We cant wait, i Just ordered my last pieces of gear for the move so we should have some great images, I actually spoke with a friend who is a publisher and he said that his company may be wiling to publish a coffee table book for us based on the concept that we were discussing,

There are several great websites to help you plot a route.
byways.org lists registered "trails" or routes via an interactive map. Detailed maps, descriptions and places to stop for food and shopping are listed.
roadsideamerica.com shows interesting things to stop and see along the route. Again, great interactive map to help you find what you're looking for.
nps.gov is a great resource for National Parks across the states - sooooo many of them are can't miss destinations.
My parents travel with a dog frequently and they like to stay in La Quinta hotels specifically for their pet friendly policies. Their web site offers good search facilities along travel routes.
Have a safe trip and we'll look forward to your awesome pics and stories. K-

Hello,
There are probably hundreds of places to stop along the way with a trip like that, but if you're going to travel along I-10, then north along i_25 to the Denver area, I would recommend a stop of at least a couple of days at Rocky Mountain National Park. It's located northwest of Denver near a little tourist town called Estes Park, and well worth the visit. This is not the best time of year to visit because the high country might not be accessible yet due to snow, and the Elk are probably still kind of scruffy with their winter coats, but you can certainly get the idea and probably see that it's worth a second trip back out later in the year.
If you happen to be traveling along I-70 out of Denver, be sure to make a side trip down to Moab, Utah, to see Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, as well as Dead Horse State park. These places can give you a real feel for the southwest and a vision for what "red rocks" are all about. Fascinating places!
If you happen to be over near the Oregon coast, especially around Bandon and points north, you'll get a good feel for what the Pacific coast is all about; not that you won't get a good sense of all that once you get to Seattle.
Like I said, there are literally more places to visit than you could reasonably see in a lifetime out here, and those are just a taste.
Hope it helps,
Don Fink
