The last day of our tour started with a fairly early start to go to a location fairly close on the shore of the Great Salt Lake, behind a 20th century resort pavilion known as The Great Saltair. We were shooting models, who at times were nude, at the edge of the water in an area that wasn’t that removed from people. Dmitriy did a good job running interference and letting the models know if people got too close. The lake shore was a few hundred yards from where you could park.
As this was our last shoot, I tried to do some shots with everyone. I got some nice pictures as again this was somewhat of a unique setting along the tour. At each stop I seemed to take more and more shots, and at this one I got more than 1000.
After the morning’s shoot, we returned to clean up, pack up, and check out of the hotel. We all then got together at a restaurant in downtown Salt Lake City for a leisurely bittersweet farewell lunch. After lunch I got dropped off at the airport and made my way back home. It was a great trip and a great tour. I was exhausted and glad to get home, but also wished I could keep shooting with that group some more.
