Atlantis: Staycay to the Starz..

Atlantis is the ridiculously opulent hotel that is situated on the crescent of The Palm, Dubai. That said, it's an amazing place to stay, and especially so when Sandance is happening. Dubai is a mongrel to get around so.. Driving through the centre of the palm.. Arriving at Atlantis.. Checking in.. Taking a walk through the hotel.. The amazeballz "Royal" pool.. A quick trip to Aquaventure.. After grabbing a burger on the way back to the room: running into royalty! Just hangin in the room.. Woke early and found that my camera was missing. Wifey quickly realized that it was probably in the bushes that I'd fallen into on the way back to the hotel. She was correct! Walking back to the room at 5am (after finding my G12 in the bushes): pics of the model of the hotel.. Dubai sunrise from room 11310..

Better late than never..

Desertttttttttttttttt....

A trip into the desert on a 'Desert Safari' is kind of like going to see a bad movie for all the wrong reasons, it's a little interesting at first but by the time you reach the second act, you know exactly how it will end and start covertly looking at your watch.

Firstly there's the random dude riding a camel.



Then there's the obligatory visit to the camel farm..







Where you may make some interestingly shaped friends..





Not all of them being camels..



And you realize that after a while you're probably shooting way too much camel pRon..





And that even the most gorgeous Brazillian models can make asses of themselves..



You realize that not having used the DSLR for a while has seriously compromised your ability to shoot in unfamiliar (and ever changing) light..







And that happiness can be captured in little more than a smile..
