After what seemed like an hour of riding up a very bumpy road I was beginning to feel sea-sick; and I never get sea-sick. The road was barely wide enough for the medium sized pickup truck we were in. The switchbacks were the worst. To get around the second one my friend had to make a 90 degree turn and pull the truck up the embankment until we seemed to be pointed straight up in the air. Next he backed down until I thought we were going to go off the cliff behind us. Only then could he make an additional 90 degree turn and continue up the road. The entire trip seemed like a Disneyland "E" ticket ride! Finally we arrived at a small, but beautiful log home that sat on over a hundred acres of private land up in the Wasatch range. I was floored! The "cabin" had running water fed by a reservoir of water under the mountain. It was beautifully furnished and had electricity and even a flush toilet. This was my friends get-a-way.  It was a place to lose himself in thought and rest from the cares of day to day life. Some time later I was out in the backyard of my home.  My House sits on a hill so I was above the roof line hoping to photograph a nice sunset.  (That's my get-away.  Sitting next to the camera looking for light and subject to portray through the eyes of my lens.) Unfortunately there wasn't much of a sunset, but while I was sitting there I noticed my daughter had climbed onto the roof to take some photographs with my Ipad. The roof seems to be her getaway as I've seen her on it many times. Not getting a good sunset image I decided to change gears and walked down the hill until I was level with her resting spot. I called to her and did some minor posing (not wanting to distract her into falling off of the roof.) until I got an image I liked. I had no real way to control the light, but the evening provided a soft sweet light that made the portrait work. The blueish tones give the image almost a monotone look so I was quite happy with the results even though the session was not planned. The point is that I was in my place to go when this opportunity made itself available and I was able to take advantage of it. This is a fun image with a story to tell of a young woman and her place to go. Do you have a place to go? #tedyorkphotography #aplacetogo #ontheroof
