I haven’t done any bridals or weddings for awhile, and I can honestly say I don’t miss the weddings all that much. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy weddings, full of happiness of two lives joining together into an expected bright future. Taking photos of the wedding is a whole different experience [...]

I have been busy on a somewhat arduous yet enjoyable task lately…organizing and cataloging my photos from 2007. This task has been long overdue, and there is quite the number of photos I am dealing with. I may write up a post soon about the process I am going through. Unfortunately I [...]

Today I had the pleasure of attending a seminar taught by Kenneth Linge in Salt Lake City.
As I took photos of various set ups and scenes for a “visual memory” I was reminded of the phrase “standing on the shoulders of giants.” The spirit of these lessons were more to teach us to fish [...]

Well, better late than never, right? I had hoped to have this video done a week ago, but that’s often how things go.
In a previous post I mentioned that a couple of weeks I participated in my second outing with the Photowalking Utah flickr group. The turnout was tremendous, and the atmosphere electric [...]

Taking my snowy orchard photos yesterday, this sign greeted me where I wanted to take the photo. I take pause when told to keep out, and generally respect their wishes.
Today I went ahead and traversed 10 steps onto the property to compose my shot. My question is whether you think this is violation [...]

Old barrel in snow
On my morning excursion yesterday to take some snow pictures, this barrel struck me with is colors in contrast to the expanse of the snow. I am not sure if it is the rust or the almost dreamy feel of the snow in the foreground that I like. Sometimes it [...]

Snowy Orchard
The other day I realized I really haven’t gotten myself out at all this winter to try and photograph the beautiful snow we have been receiving. This morning I decided to go out for a few minutes and try and rectify that situation.
This is a local orchard that is one of [...]

James Hall Diving
This is a photo of my Dad diving off of a sub in 1979. I am not 100% sure where it is, but likely off of Asia somewhere. My dad was an avid photographer that shot almost entirely in slides. I am currently in the process of scanning in well [...]

Today I am showing another photo from last year’s concert shots, this one of Tom Hopkins and Donny Osmond. One of the areas of my concert photos I am always trying to improve on is capturing interactions between the band. Often the expressions and scenes can be more appealing than the “solo” [...]
