Taking note of the good things

I’m not a big fan of the Christmas baskets companies send each other, but I do like the especially good chocolate that comes in some of them. Today we are planning way ahead for some a business trip in April for AdTech San Francisco, so having this chocolate sitting on my desk caught my attention. [...]

I had a great time with the kids while sledding. I love to get out and play with them, but half the fun for me (of course) is to capture video and stills of them having fun. I try to make sure and balance out “my” fun though and make sure I actually [...]

Yesterday we took the kids out for some sledding in the snow at a new spot. It ended up being a great one. I was primarily taking video and some still shots of the kids sledding, but I snapped this one of my wife carrying our youngest back up the hill.

This model was doing a [...]

From a photo perspective, this particular shot reminds [...]

Just Out Of Reach
This star receiver could catch practically anything. As long as it was within reach he would catch it. As shown in this photo, even if it wasn’t within reach, he put out the maximum effort.
I was particularly pleased with the performance of my recently upgraded to Canon 40D on this shot. The [...]

Bloody Number One
I had a lot of fun this year with my son playing pee wee football for the first time. He has had a lot of difficulties this year, and football was the highlight of each day for him. The coaches were outstanding, which is really the key to having a great experience at [...]

Floating Lights
On the photo walk in Salt Lake City I discussed yesterday, I took a few moments to capture shots of the floating lights found in the pond outside of the Temple Square. I always take a special interest in these because it was a previous neighbor of mine that invented them. I think they [...]

No matter how much you know, or think you know, about photography, there are always others out there that can astound you. I have been entirely self-taught in my hobby/craft along the way, experimenting and correcting as I learn new things. I enjoy the challenge, and periodically I feel like I can capture [...]
