Just a quick update to let ya’ll know that Dana and I will be taking a much needed family vacation to Hawaii. We’re not sure of out internet situation in Kona, so emails, etc. might be a little spotty. We will get back to you as soon as we get back!
Also, if you just can’t live without us, please be sure to follow our Twitter accounts. We should be updating from time to time!!
Mahalo!

Howdy Amigos!
Did I just say “Howdy”? Yeah… I guess I did!
So, what’s been going on out there? It’s been kinda crazy around the Sipper household, as last week I caught some gnarly summer cold, plus my ears sealed up so I couldn’t hear anything out of my right ear for a few days. If you follow me on Twitter, I’m sure you’ve heard all about this! And now, Dana caught whatever I had, and it’s knocked her out of commission this week! So, if you are looking for our regularly scheduled Photo Blog entries… you might need to wait until next week!
That being said, I’ve decided to start something new here on the blog, just to see how it goes. It may go nowhere… it may turn out to be fun, and hopefully, a little informative. So here we go…
Ask a Photographer! Do you have questions about photography? Want to know more about any of the services we offer? How we do the things we do? Why Nikon is better than Canon? (Just kidding Canon people… sorta!) Pretty much anything!
Go ahead and drop a question for us in the comments section, and we’ll answer them in next week’s Wednesday post.
That’s all I have for now! See ya next time!

Hey Kids,
So, Dana and I just got back from a great little weekend up in Solvang. We’ll have a full post with pictures coming later in the week. For now, I just say, that for the first time in, probably close to 7 or 8 trips to Solvang, I finally found and ate the Aebelskiver!
Now, for those of you who have never heard of an Aebelskiver (and I don’t blame you, I’ve never seen them outside of Solvang), it is basically a pancake type ball of dough that has been cooked, topped with jam, and some powdered sugar.
This time I was on a quest to get one. I’m sure Dana was tired of me talking about them! The last couple times I’ve been up there, the one shop that sells them was always closed! Seems like most things in Solvang shut down early. So, after a 1/2 day of wine tasting near Los Olivos, we made sure we were back early enough to finally get some!
I gotta say, they are worth the wait!
So, first, you stand in line, and wait. It moves quickly though!
Then you pay, or in my case, have Dana pay!
Oh yeaaaah! Look at those! You know you want some now!
Yours truly, about to eat his very first Aebelskiver! Mmmmmm!
This is the look Dana gave me all day whenever I mentioned the Aebelskiver. I dunno if she was sold on them… I’m sure she’ll say something like Beignets are better!
Look for a much larger post later on in the week, with a full Solvang wrap-up, including winery reviews, and why Pea Soup Andersens should be avoided at all costs, no matter how much people try and tell you it’s a great place!

What’s up, yo?
I’m still not sure what is going on with the weather. It was 93 on my way home this afternoon. 93. You gotta be kidding me. It is supposed to start cooling down tomorrow, but I’m not betting any money on it. I mean, really, it’s snowing in parts of the country now!

Dana and I spent the weekend in Arizona, where we shot 4 sittings in a marathon like flurry of camera cards, sunshine, and dry desert air! It was about 90 out there, but when you are working in the sun all day, it can really wear you out. We had some great family shoots, and one couple shoot. Be on the lookout for those in the next week or so!

Not much else happening. We have a rare Saturday off this weekend, and a bike ride might happen. Sunday we are off to photograph my cousin, his wife, and her family down in San Diego at Balboa park. That should be fun… we’ve never shot there before!

Anyone else watch the season finale of Mad Men? It was just ok. Not nearly as good as last season’s ending that really got me thinking about images, their importance and why I do what I do. I have another blog rattling around in my head that I’ll get to writing up some day.

I think that is all I have for ya this week. I’ll check in with ya’ll soon. Until then, check out a few pics that we shot around sunset at a Rest Stop just over the border in AZ. You know what they say about Rest Stops… We got outta there before dark, before we could find out first hand!
enjoy the pics!
