I love this song.

My life is a mad world right now. lots of changes. most for the better.

For those of you that didn’t, here you go.

Here is the setup: Obviously we have a trampoline in the middle. Then we have 2 Profoto D1’s (Donated by the wonderful people at the Draper Pictureline) and then to blow out the back wall we had two additional strobes that Harley Pebley let us use. We had a scaffold set up in front of the tramp, along with a ladder, to give people varying angles and heights to shoot from.

I had the opportunity to work the station with a brilliant young photographer, Sawyer Pangborn (@spangborn), one of those crazy smart guys that is way too talented. He is the one that took the above photos (I think – I am not sure, they were just on my camera…) and we had a whole range of models, from 2 beautiful and graceful fairies, to a young strapping rockstar, and even a business man in a suit. For the full range of photos head over to the Flickr group for Photowalking Utah… the pictures that came from this setup are amazing.

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.

I am going back through some of the photos I took while in Japan back in 2007. My wife gave me my Christmas present early that year – a Nikon D40 – and I couldn’t put it down.

It is fun to see how far I have come in terms of my knowledge of overall photographic principles, aperture, shutter speed, ISO etc, composition etc.

some people are just so curious and wanting to explore.

and some people are all about the love.

I would have taken more shots, but after we matched my 8mm fisheye with Scott’s Ring Flash, well you know happened – I didn’t get it back from Scott until everyone had already left the party. hehe.

You never know what is going to happen at a Photowalking Utah event – so don’t miss out. Follow all the action on the website here or join the flickr group or become a fan on facebook.

We had a blast on the trampoline today at the Photowalking Utah Studio Lighting event in Draper, Utah. Thank you to everyone who participated!
