Description

Yesterday I finally got a chance to sit down with my bosses and look through all the crap I have shot during my six months on the road. They just LOVED this shot. The big boss tries not to act too excited about any of my photos, presumably so I don't ask him for more money, but he really liked this one a lot. So, this is the second photo of mine that he has liked. He really liked a photo I shot of the Chicago skyline back in September. September 2007! So… Once every 2 1/2 years isn't bad! He said that they have been keeping me on board for the past 2 1/2 years in hopes that I would eventually take another good photo. So… Here it is! A photo that my boss actually likes.
This was a nighttime, time exposure shot by moonlight of Lake Powell, taken from Alstrom Point. There was a full moon that night. Notice all the houseboats parked down there. I count about 15 of them.

"admitting you suck is the first step of the long road to recovery. Wonderful Beach Scene CONGRATS"
"I agree. This is a good one."
"I agree with the CAPTION. My snark is switched to off right now, or Id have something more clever for ya."
"Your boss has good taste, of course. A gorgeous exposure. We spent a wild week on one of these.Seen in my contacts photos. ?"
"I really like the dark hued bluegreen water and the little golden points of light Im glad to hear youve finally satisfied the boss...at least theres one person..."
"Amazing idea shooting by moonlight. Great shot."
"Congrats on the quotgoodquot photo mike. This is by far the only good photo ive seen of yours in 2 12 years. Then again, if I think about my job... would they keep paying me year after year if only once in a while I did something quotgoodquot? Probably not. Sounds like a big bah humbug to me. One of these days I know Ill go into a souvi store and find one of your cards there, and will buy it and send it to the Rueb with, quotlook at this photo... not even good, but its a postcardquot"
"I think this is the latest shot of yours that shows where I am heading when the big one hits. 5 days, 20 years, till death...could hang here.Beautiful view Mike. Glad you have two worthwhile shots out of all this junk you have posted the past couple of years. Keep working at and you might have three before 2010 is dust!Seen on my Flickr home page. ?"
"Im not even sure if this is noteworthy. I guess I could put notes on all the house boats I find. So, did you ask him for more money?"
"the third time is a charm decent work mike!"
