Julie in Pacific Grove
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
I felt like posting something from California last weekend so here is a shot of Jules in Pac Grove. It was windy as hell and a little chilly (at least Jules was cold). The surf was high due to all the wind so we were out there in awe of the craziness crashing on the rocks and beach. I’ll be posting more later.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers,

More Soccer

Shot another soccer game tonight. This was only slightly less miserable than the baseball game I shot last week. Same problem (freaking cold rain=frozen fingertips) but this game lasted literally half the time of the baseball game. Still, I am not liking April’s weather so far. Looks like this will be another year where Utah gets snow the first week of June.
Please click on photo for more images. Thanks for looking.

Baseball

So I shot Baseball for the first time the other day and it was absolutely miserable. Baseball is kind of boring but that wasn’t what made shooting it so miserable. It was in the mid-30’s and freaking raining which turned to snow and then back to rain. Oh and it was over 3 hours long even though it was high school and they only played 7 innings. Yeah, not fun. My fingers were blue which I am pretty sure meant I was starting to get frostbite.

Weber v. Fremont Soccer
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
The first and last time I shot soccer was at least 2 years ago, at the start of my education at Brooks. It was pitiful. The game was at night on a dark UCSB field. I used a 400mm lens with my 5D on a TRIPOD! WTF was I thinking. A bit naive I know. Anyhow the images sucked hard.
Fast forward to yesterday, 2nd time shooting soccer. Here’s the result.
Miles better than the first attempt but thats not saying much. I wish I had the images here in SLC to show how pathetic that first attempt was.
Anyway, thanks for looking and please click on the photo for more.
Cheers,

More dog pics. I had an assignment to photograph a pit bull because of a new city ordinance that is more restrictive of owning pit bulls.

Taos doing what he loved
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
I have tried to keep my blog easy on the personal notes but I felt compelled to write this entry nonetheless.
Without going into too much detail, Julie and I found out this week that because of a neck injury Taos can no longer do what he loved most. Playing ‘F.’ Luckily we discovered his injury early and as of right now he wont need surgery to remove disk material. Looking back I have no regrets even though his injury is a culmination of years of catching his frisbee.
He has always been as passionate about playing ‘F’ as we have been in our own endeavors. It saddens me to think that he will no longer be able to do his one and only true passion. He was born to catch the flying disk. So it seems tragically ironic that it is another disk that keeps him earth bound.
As I write this I find myself thinking how depressing it would be if I could no longer photograph or if Jules could no longer teach figure skating. Our passions are things that we sometimes take for granted. We sometimes get caught up in the future that revolves around the actions and activities we love so dearly.
Hopefully I say this without sounding too preachy but please, run as fast as you can and fly as far as you may. Because one day it could be gone as quickly as it came.
Unfortunately I rarely photographed him playing his heart out but I did manage to take a few of the last time he and Julie and I played together. And though they are not the greatest photographs of him, they seem important now.
So here is Taos, master of the frisbee. (Here’s to you bug!)
