What's It All About?

Photos by Ruben Robles.

Why "Trapping Photons"?  Because that's what this site is all about.  Chasing, Capturing, "Trapping" light and getting images.  Also chasing adventures.  Stills, Video, it doesn't matter.  It's about telling a story, memorializing our adventures and getting out of the house!  We're mostly into landscape, but I've been experimenting with portraits and lighting....so we'll see. I may include some geek stuff as well. After all, ya gotta have your gear!

They're not all epic adventures, but they're an escape from the daily routine.
