Baby Boomer Sherri Meyer viewing the spillway at Lake Clementine, Auburn, California (taken by Jeff Meyer).
A few days ago, I was reading
Richard Wong's Photo Blog. He had put together an awesome slideshow, showcasing a selection of his travel images from his PhotoShelter Archive.
I thought that was such a brilliant idea, I decided to create my own slideshow, showcasing some of my favorite "Baby Boomer" images from MY PhotoShelter Archive.

Sue Hadley sitting in front of Young's Market (built in 1862), Taylorsville, California
There is not a whole lot in Downtown Taylorsville, but that's the way we like it. Our favorite travel destinations are usually the lesser known, off-the-beaten-path locations, such as
Taylorsville in Plumas County, California.
The population here is less than 200. There are only a handful of business establishments in town. But, this little "Po Dunk" town
located in beautiful Indian Valley is rich in beauty and history. There is also a lot to do and see in Taylorsville and the surrounding area.
We learned while visiting McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park later on in our trip, Taylorsville is quite the happening place over the 4th of July weekend. The family we talked to from the Bay Area have been visiting Taylorsville over the 4th of July weekend for years. I think we just might have to put that on our travel list for next year!
More photos of Taylorsville to come!

Steve Hadley photographing Indian Creek, Taylorsville, California
While I was down capturing a few early morning shots of Indian Creek, our friend Steve decided to join me. That was perfect timing, because all the photos I had taken up until then had been void of people, which is really unusual for me. More importantly, he is a "Baby Boomer!"
Photographing "Baby Boomers" is one of my top priorities when shooting for stock.
Here is another tip I will throw out there to the universe. When photographing a landscape, try shooting the scene both with and without people. I generally shoot with the people in the scene first, because those shots are most important to me. But, if your speciality happens to be landscapes, you would most likely do it in reverse. This is most important if you are a Stock Photographer shooting for publication.
I will be including more photo tips in future posts from our recent Northeastern California Road Trip, so stay tuned to

Donna Bussinger and her daughter, Maya.
This past weekend, I had a blast photographing my friend and Baby Boomer model, Donna and her 3 year old daughter, Maya.
For as long as I've known Donna (23 years), she has stayed in shape by putting fitness high on her priority list.
She was a Professional Raft Guide in Coloma, California, for more than a dozen years. She also runs, mountain bikes, gardens, hikes, snowshoes, cross-country skis and teaches high school physical education, to name just a few.
Donna recently added one more way to stay in shape to the long list of activities she participates in. She plays in the new family swimming pool with her daughter, Maya. I was amazed at how much exercise they got (see photo above), during the hour or so I was photographing them.
You can bet, Maya will stay in shape just like her Mom!
