Wow, it sure has been a whirlwind of life since I last posted. I had a fantastic trip to the East Coast over the holidays where I spent amazing time with my family and got to see some very good friends. Since I’ve gotten back, Ive been consumed with something new (that I’ll be announcing here real soon), that I’m really excited about and is going to mean lots more blogging and sharing of photos, music, and videos. So exciting!!
But for now, here’s a little recap of my last month or so with some teaser pics of full blog posts coming soon. You’ll wanna check back soon cause there’s something really exciting in the works that I just can’t wait to share with you all!!
Here I am on the plane making my way east.
I had the amazing fortune to meet and spend the day with a family who I’ve admired for a long time, The Sandersons. Such a beautiful family, and incredible photographers.
My Dad and his wife Lynn are working on a new business and so we got a couple shots of them for their new website which will be going live really soon.
I also got to do an Engagement shoot in Baltimore for my good friends Jennifer and Eric. I’ll have a full blog post coming from this shoot real soon. Here’s a few teasers. We got some great shots!!
Since I’ve been back home, I’ve appreciated the mountains even more than usual as I always do after a trip away.
I went out hiking with my friends Lars and Ryan the other day, and we had a blast. The clouds were killer and it felt more like Junuary than January. There will be a full blog post coming on this soon as well.
A little self portrait fun in Ryan’s glasses.
So while I was gone, I did get a new Canon 5D Mark II and I couldn’t be more excited!!! Its the first digital SLR to include full HD 1080p video capabilities, and the footage is just stunning. I went to a going away party the other night for my friend Mark who’s moving to South Dakota, and decided to bust out the camera for just a few minutes to play around. When I got home I decided to throw together a little short from the footage.
I’m totally just learning, but am really excited about the new possibilities video opens up!! The song in the video is Urban Blue by Paul Alvaran and is available as a royalty free music download at ShawnReederMusic.com. You can watch the video full screen by clicking the button in the lower right hand corner. Enjoy!!

Shawn: Love the new blog. Great pics, as usual. I really like the photo you took of yourself with your new 5D in the sunglass lens. Also like the new way your watermarking your photos.
