State High School Football Semi-Finals
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
Last Friday my editor asked me to go photograph the state high school football semi-finals at Rice-Eccles Stadium at the University of Utah. One caveat though, he wanted me to shoot VIDEO. I have barely shot any sports with a still camera and never have I done anything sports-related with video. I was a wee-bit nervous. It didn’t help matters to be the only guy on the sidelines with a Sony HD cam on a tripod. I felt a little out of my element at first, and to add insult to injury it dropped in temp and started to rain. Despite the situation I relaxed a bit during the second game (which is also the second half of the video) and ended up having a lot of fun. Anyway, here is the result. As always questions, comments, complaints, concerns are welcome. Sorry I don’t have a still image to lead into the video. Thanks for looking.

Hill AFB Powwow
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
The other day I got the opportunity to photograph a really cool event for the paper. The Hill Air Force Base Native Indian/Alaskan Native Association held a powwow at an elementary school near the AFB. It was really interesting to experience such a colorful and cultural event. I normally am not that enthused to photograph festivals and things like that, but this seemed different for some reason. Below is J. Michael Crane, the 2007 National Hoop Dancing champion and he was amazing to watch.

Update #2

I decided to separate the updates between sports and everything else. So far I have shot 2 football games and a Jazz basketball game. The Jazz game was really fun. I grew up watching the Jazz play so to be shooting one of their games was really exciting for me.

So I have been at the Standard-Examiner now for two weeks and have yet to update. So here is the first update. I didn’t want to publish everything that I shot or even everything that made it into the paper, but just some of the ones I liked.

Fall
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
For the first time in 3 years I get to re-experience fall. I love October in Utah. It is a time of year that could make anyone fall in love with the place. I am a little too late for the ubiqiutous Aspen groves at the top of Big Cottonwood canyon to be in full color. ((Sigh) I wish I was here two weeks ago). Nonetheless there are still pockets of color a bit lower in the canyon as well as on the foothills. It is all gold now, no more red and orange, as Autumn is making its way for the enveloping white of Winter. Click photo for more

Sometimes you find randomness. Park City tends to have a lot of randomness. You can find things in weird places that were once lost to the inevitable snow, only to be found by the equally inevitable defrost. I think people here tend to leave these traces to the snow gods in hopes they will return again.

Carving Pumpkins

So Julie and I carved pumpkins the other night. She carved the one with the “D” and I carved the other one. It only took me 2 hours this year as opposed to the 4 hour Jack Skellington pumpkin I carved last year.

Street
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
Today, I went to downtown L.A. to try and shoot some street photos. I went to Olvera Street and Union Station. I don’t know why, but I have been seeing a lot of emptiness lately. Not really in any traditional sense, but a sort-of static tension between subject and environment that creates a sense of emptiness or quietude. (I dunno if this makes any sense whatsoever, but I noticed it after shooting at the salt flats).
The light in Union Station let me explore this a little bit. Click photo for more.

In the two years she has lived in SoCal, Julie has never visited The Getty before. We changed that on Saturday despite the rain. It was little a little quiet though. Click on picture for more.
