Catching up - Engagement shoot 6
July 8th, 2008Just trying to show off some stuff from back in June
Here’s the first shoot I did with my new 70-200 2.8 VR
Another Engagement Shoot
July 8th, 2008There’s a business park on the border of provo and springeville with lots of grass a stream and a big pond. Also some nice weeping willows. I’m not sure what it’s called but I know how to get there.
It’s been a while since I’ve been so I took the most recent couple there.
They’ll be getting married august 2nd
Catching up posts - June #3
July 8th, 2008Engagement shoot in downtown provo
I suggest starting early.
You have about 1-2 hours after official sunrise until the sun peaks over the mountain.
Yes it’s early but if they’re alright with it it’s a great time of the day with good lighting and empty streets.
Catchup on Photoshoots - June #2
July 7th, 2008We went up American Fork Canyon
Got back about the time I usually start my photo shoots… but when you’re up in the mountains shade is plentiful and if you’re on the right side the sunset starts many hours earlier.
As a side note you don’t have to pay the fee to go up the canyon if you have a National Parks pass!
Pretty cool because I do.

Catching Up June #1
July 7th, 2008In an effort to catch up and show you all what I’ve been up to… I’ll quickly post some stuff from june.
Recent Engagement shoot
July 7th, 2008I’ve edited about a dozen photo shoots since I last posted one to the blog.
As i mentioned previously I’ve just been making the large password protected galleries, so that won’t let most of you see what’s been going down.
But now I’m almost done with all my edits (for now) and I thought I’d take a moment to post a recent photo shoot.
Since the last you’ve seen I now own 2 new lenses.

It was hard to choose because there were seriously dozens that could all have been strong contenders for announcement pictures.
Follow me on Twitter
July 6th, 2008I know that there seems to be a decent amount of people checking up on this blog.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell those that use twitter that they can follow me there:
- Learn about what I’m up to…
- My photo shoots.
- Random photo trip opportunities.
- Hear about when I post new stuff.
- I also post web suggestions and observations that focus often on photography.
It’s all great fun.
Welcom FF3 viewers
July 6th, 2008So for a while I’ve been on the naughty list for google.
This has prevented FF3 users (like myself) from viewing the site.
I was hacked a while ago… i thought I fixed it and never did until earlier today.
(It’s not as hard as I thought it would be… I should have done it a while ago)
I know i’m good to go again because I’m using the site again on FF3.
So welcome… or welcome back to those that haven’t been able to see the site for a while.
Balloonfest - Provo 2008
July 5th, 2008
Before liftoff!
Making sure they don’t lift off.
A lot of people come for the bright colored Balloons…
Or for the Fire
Contained fire… sorry to disappoint.
I enjoy seeing the mass of people and the human interactions.
Lotsa pointing going on.
(Story) Freedom Festival Parade Pictures
July 5th, 2008A couple of Notes
I walked up and down the route of the parade with my new fun lens.
Let me just tell you it’s much better than standing (or sitting) in the same spot for the whole parade.
It’s also nice to only live 3 blocks from the parade route.
ALSO… having a 70-200 2.8 makes a parade much more enjoyable.
I took a ton… but I’ll just post a couple of them here.
If you think I took a picture of you I can get you a link to the full gallery online.
I took my second camera with the wide/medium zoom but I hardly used it… I suppose it was still useful to make me look semi-important. haha
I also hung out with a friend Gordon who was shooting pictures for the Freedom Festival magazine.
Now for the FUN part… Let me tell you a STORY
Let’s start this off on a patriotic note!
Not as many flags but still as cool.
But don’t worry these kids had flags to spare.
These things were all over the place
… I meant the snapper things.
But yeah kids too!
More kids… some sat, some stood, others… they were more squatters.
And they liked to point at stuff
