Mad World
I love this song.
My life is a mad world right now. lots of changes. most for the better.
I’m not even dead and they’re throwing me a wake.
Is that a smile?
My Grandma is a character. And she has cancer. We had a little family get together to spend some time with her before her surgery on Thursday.
She said the title quote while talking to a friend on the phone. hehe. Grandma, we love you. Good luck!
More to follow.
Anger
It is all an act. Sometimes.
The other day when we were shooting for Provo creative, my very talented shutterbug pal, Doug Barlow shot this while I was helping fine tune the settings for the beauty dish. I did the black and white conversion in Adobe Lightroom. It sure is nice to have talented friends. (It [...]
Get to it
So much to do! Websites, portfolios, networking – the more I sit down and start to set up a plan, the more ideas I get and then my ADD starts to kick in and now at 11:45 – my eyes just hurt.
I started out thinking about different ways to portray the type of photography that [...]
Zaggleberry Finn
My brother came down over the weekend and we snuck in some time shooting some photos for an upcoming project of his. This is a sneak preview.
It was a lot of fun, and I was a bit surprised – Zane is a natural.
I think I hear Ralph Lauren calling…
Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Hatred, and being so sore I can barely sit down to pee.
What a great break this last weekend was! I love Thanksgiving as a holiday – you get to play football, watch football, sit around and talk football, and then eat like a 350lb NFL lineman for the Vikings. I get to see my brothers and family, which is a plus on any occasion, but being [...]
the bather
I decided to go back through some photos from my recent trip to Budapest and stumbled upon one of my favorite subjects while I was in Hungary. While visiting the Széchenyi Spa I noticed this gentle man standing to the side, alone, taking in the view.
As I snapped a few photos, I remember our [...]
Veterans Day – and how mountain biking saved me.
Call me crazy – but Happy Veterans Day just doesn’t do it – there is nothing happy about this day for me – other than the personal thanks I give for still being around to celebrate it.
Remembering the fallen.
Too many friends are gone. Too many memories. Everyday is filled with memories – some good, some [...]
the new do
not really new… same old shaved bald head.
mr clean
with my recent haircut, I also decided to try out something new on the blog front.
Something clean. uncluttered.
It kinda makes me want to learn more about creating my own wp themes – so many of them have attractive features, but when you get down to what is really important – they lack a lot of [...]
waking up with the cows
I had every intention of heading up into the mountains this morning – there is a little side cut up Payson Canyon, just east of Maple Dale that grabbed my attention last time I was up there with the kids and I wanted to take it as far up the mountain as I could – [...]
behind the crooked fence
I have some pretty amazing in-laws. My wife’s family has an alpaca farm down in Mona and I have been helping them with photography and designing their website – Crooked Fence Alpacas and Mill – let me say it has been an education. Alpacas are amazing animals – and their fleece is absolutely incredible! The [...]
ah the colors…
It is fall break here in Utah, and we took the kids today up to do the Nebo Loop – which is a “scenic byway” of Highway 89.
The colors were amazing – so obviously we jumped on the opportunity to snap a few photos.
I am a lucky man!
The power of legos…
I came home in a very pissy mood tonight. I am swamped at work – way too much to do and not enough time left before the deadlines to be nice to people and allow “slack” for not coming through on deliverables. I came home, ate some dinner, and then just sat and tried to [...]
Baby Time in Utah
No one makes babies quite like the inhabitants of my beautiful state of Utah, and the Hogle Zoo is no exception! Elephant, Tigers, Snow Leopard, Siamese Crocs, and more Meerkats than you can count… we had a marvelous time.
Zuri, the baby elephant
Zuri was by far the headliner of the newcomer lineup. It was the first [...]
MarsEdit
Wow… how have I not found this before?
I must say special thanks to Trent Nelson, the most excellent SL Tribune photog that was gracious enough to enlighten me about this gem. At first glance it appears to make blogging a snap. I am sure there will be a few kinks to iron out from [...]
oh luggage where art thou?
I am a man of constant sorrow – and I smell like the French.
My trip to Europe got off relatively incident free – my wife took me and my colleague up to SLC Intl airport where we literally breezed through security. Our flight was severely over-booked – something about a plane headed to Lima, Peru [...]
Tour of Utah – Stage 5
I am kinda bummed about the ToU this year – I only got out to one stage, but the format was one of my favs… the downtown crit. For those of you unaccustomed to cycling, a crit race or criterium is a race held on a short course (5-7km) usually on closed off city streets [...]
