Sports
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
I felt like putting all the sports I have shot with all the other stuff wouldn’t be very good editing so this post is dedicated to some of the sport events I have covered thus far. The slideshows are seperated by sport and specific event (except football because I only shot stills for two games and I didn’t get that many shots from them.) As always, questions, comments, complaints and concerns are appreciated. Thanks for looking.

A mix bag of Photos from the past month
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
So I haven’t been that diligent about updating my blog. So in an attempt to catch up I thought I may as well do one post with a bunch of rando slideshows that I shot and liked (liked being the operative word here).
So the first slideshow is a few singles from the past couple of weeks. The first image is from a standoff on the day before Thanksgiving that resulted in a suicide. I also shot a teacher who has won awards and grants for using technology in the classroom, the Gov.’s budget announcement, a rehearsal for Capitol Theater’s production of the Nutcracker, a college rock-climbing competition, a kid crying on Santa’s lap and a breakfast with Santa.

The next slideshow is from a funeral I covered a few weeks ago. It was for one of the members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Basically it is the board of directors for the LDS church. The funeral itself was pretty big and was held in the Tabernacle on the Temple grounds in downtown SLC. Security was extremely tight, and the fact that they had their own secret police force out in full force gave me the heebie jeebies.

Finally, this slideshow is from the beginning of the month. I went with some firefighters who work for the forest service to do a prescribe burn of underbrush in an attempt to protect against the spread of fires. It was really fun because we had to 4×4 up to the trail head and then we hiked around the mountains all day. The humidity wasn’t right to burn all of their underbrush piles so we spent the rest of the day filming the prep work (basically they cut the hell out of all the low hanging limbs with chainsaws.) Anyway, it was a nice day.

Update…sort of
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
I know, I know. I seriously need to update my blog. And I meant to the other day but I got sidetracked with other things like finding a decent print service online and spending entirely way too long on the phone with AT&T explaining how the f’d up my bill. Anyway, I did actually compress a recent video I shot last week and embed it into a html page. So anyway, here it is. Basically it is another football game but I think it turned out a little better than the last one. As always: questions, comments, complaints, concerns are always appreciated. Thanks for looking! And check back in a few days as I have some major updates comin your way. Cheers.

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
Posted by admin | Filed under Uncategorized
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

Half a Motor Bike

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.
