The cowBoy

admin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 14:00:54 +0000

So I couldn’t decide if I liked the black and white version or the color version best. The tie breaker was that there have been a lot of color photos on the blog lately and even more waiting in the archive for me to post. So there it is, my justification for posting the black and white over the color. Although, I must admit the color version carries a lot more storytelling elements because of the American flag draped behind the boy as well as the hat pops off the shirt a bit more. Also the quality of light was pretty nice on the boy’s face. Shit maybe I SHOULD post the color one. AAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHH. You know, just for the record, I am an indecisive person by nature so this is driving me crazy. I’ll tell you what, why don’t you click on the photo and you can see the color version of the photo and we will just have a vote. So if you are reading this post and looking at these photographs you have thereby entered into a contract with the administration of this blog to give your honest, unabashed opinion, etc. in the comment area. You will not be compensated, because lets face it, I am a journalist therefore I’m broke.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers,

Climbing Festival

A week ago I got to shoot a climbing festival in literally my backyard. Well, not quite my backyard, but just about. It was really fun and I wished I had more time to shoot while I was there (I also did a video which can be found here).

Thanks for looking,

Quick update

admin — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 19:02:15 +0000

This is from an assignment I shot a month or so ago. The guy in the frame was training for Hill Air Force Base’s color guard. He was newbie and I like to think that this was the moment when he realized what he is about to be a part of. Dunno if that really is the case or if he just really likes flags. Casket was empty BTW.

Thanks for looking,

Chariot Racing

admin — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 07:17:49 +0000

A wild, wild sport. First race that I shot, a chariot basically fell apart beneath the driver. I don’t know if he bailed out, or if he couldn’t hang on but he ate it hard at 45 mph. Ouch. He walked away relatively unscathed, save for a pretty good laceration on the bridge of his nose.

As always, thanks for looking,

“Six Geese a Laying. . . ” (in the Sunshine)

admin — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 20:23:12 +0000

Alright they are standing in the Sunshine. And there are seven of them. But what did you want this blog post to be titled, “Geese?” Nah. That is boring and this photo needs all the help it can get. This wasn’t for an assignment or anything but while I was at Weber State this morning walking back to my truck I saw these birds hanging out in the sun, snow and an empty parking stall in an otherwise full lot. They might have been there holding the spot for a friend. Anyway, it just caught my eye that’s all. As always, thank for looking.

F-16 Refueling Mission

admin — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 22:45:57 +0000

So every time I go to update my blog I think to myself, “hey, I should post that refueling picture from last May that I still haven’t gotten around to posting.” And yet I always forget to do so. Anyway, here it is. My assignment was to go up in a KC-135 refueling plane and photograph and film the crew refueling F-16s mid-air. We were traveling at 500+ mph groundspeed at altitude when these F-16s which were training over the Nevada desert would fly in out of nowhere, attach to the plane I was in, refuel their tanks in a matter of minutes, detach, and zoom on past like we were standing still. It was all very impressive. The pilots even let me in the cockpit to film while they were landing. Anyway, thanks for looking as always questions, comments, complaints and concerns are always welcome.

Cheers,
