A new project has been organized giving Utah Photographers an opportunity to showcase their work at the GAllivan Center on September 10, 2010. Some fine individuals I happen to have the pleasure of knowing are participating on the board which assures me this event is going to be top notch!
From the site:
In conjunction with the [...]

Ok, I’m not one to typically gush like a fanboy and spew my praise out on the web, but as I was perusing friend feed this morning and taking in some Thomas Hawk photos, I had a contemplative moment about why I enjoy his photo stream(s). So strap in, [...]

I often get asked which camera to buy, and practically in the same breath now I also get asked how many megapixels in a camera do I need. There is really no simple answer to this, but typically I try to quickly gauge the needs of the individual I am talking to and make a [...]

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 [...]

Often photo opportunities come up very spur of the moment, so I always try to be ready with my “go bag” of my favorite and most versatile camera equipment. I think in the coming weeks I will post a photo and description of what I have and how I carry it.
This model was doing a [...]

I was always impressed by this Pee Wee team with their intensity and effort, but I was impressed even more how they pulled together for the second and third string players. I enjoyed this scene how the players on their own jumped in to help their injured teammate.
