We ventured out into the city of 29 Palms where the Joshua Tree National Park is located. Specifically to find this sign and to take a picture of it, with us in it of course, just like them, U2.
The problem was that we were in the right place, but that exact sign was gone. A nice man drove by and told us that a couple of owners back, the sign was sold for a pretty sum and it has since been replaced. No matter, David and Jennifer Brotchie were still standing in the same area that Bono, the Edge, Larry and Adam stood when they took that photo, when they were inspired to write the masterpiece that is The Joshua Tree Album. Oh yes, we are cool.
We were rock stars for a couple of hours. We were feelin' it.
Although, I kept giggling. I am not at all comfortable in front of the camera, I'm a nerd. So I'd dial in the settings in the camera, click the timer, pose, wait a few seconds and I'd start laughin' like the nerd that I am.
You know, it's kind of hard to pose yourself without someone telling you how you should pose. That's usually my job: to tell YOU what to do when I'm behind the camera, no matter, I just don't like being told what to do, so I don't think it would have made an ounce of difference what I did.
But I do like how these turned out. I love couples photography. I love engagement photography. I love wedding photography. It's so different to have two people totally engaged and within each other's hemisphere's without any distraction..in our case distraction from our offspring. Thanks Nana and Grampa for letting us go be a couple for a little bit.
So yeah, you need a photographer, holla! 'cuz I can hook you up... big time!
Gosh, I miss that weather... but I did enjoy being on an afternoon date with my guy. Thanks for dragging me out there, babe.
Enjoy the weekend!
