Merrill Enjoying the Moment
Merrill Osmond playing to a sold out Wembley Arena crowd. I snuck up on stage (often actually) to try and get some unique perspectives. This shot was very poorly exposed in color with the harsh lighting, but I like it a lot in black and white. To me this embodies (a bit) [...]

Bronc Rider
Taken at the recent Strawberry Days Rodeo in Pleasant Grove, UT. Because my long lens isn’t all that fast, it gets tough to stop the action as the natural light goes down. Way out of my fun budget to have a 400mm 2.8!

Swan Glamor Session
A dozen or so swans were all to willing to get up close to my camera in hopes I had some food to share with them. Much to their discouragement, I had nothing to offer other than my snapping shutter.
Taken at the lake in Kensington Gardens, London, England on my recent trip with [...]

Doggy Happiness
Our dog was not quite sure why I wanted to get so close with the camera, but he was happy to lounge around and pose. The only problem was he kept sticking his pay ou to try and beg for some pets…which nearly hit the front of the camera a few times. How do [...]

Time is Fleeting
It’s been a little while since I broke out the macro lens and captured some flower macros. A number of different flowers are in bloom right now in my wife’s flower beds and at the neighbors.

Eye from Above
When visiting in Belfast last month, I took the oppotunity to ride the wheel they had running next to their city center building. Night was arriving, so the darkenging sky was beautiful, well worth the 6.5 pounds it cost for the short ride.
This shot was taken through the glass enclosure as I spun [...]

Bridal Bliss
Last night I had the opportunity to join the Photowalking Utah group on another outing, this time to visit the Great Salt Lake. I missed the event last month when I was on the Osmond tour, so it feels like a very long time since I have been out. I am glad this was [...]

Celestial Lights
I have had the fortunate opportunity to be on a few tours taking photos of the concerts for various projects. These photos have been published in tour books, tour programs, calendars, printed as 8×10s, even put on coffee mugs and other items. I can honestly say this is my favorite type of [...]

Pumping Up The Band
On the recent concert where I was positioned back stage to capture the big finale with the audience in the background, I happened to be in the right place to catch this shot. Donny jumped on the piano and charged up the band for the big finish to the song.
This was actually [...]
