Kaleidoscope – Part II
Kaleidoscope
For two days we’ve been photographing the clothes and lovely ladies from the Kaleidoscope Boutique, a very hip shop in the Riverwoods. Here’s round one.
84th Annual Spring Salon
The 84th Annual Spring Salon at the Springville Museum of Art opens on April 27th, 2008. It is Utah’s premiere annual fine art exhibition. I just found out today that this portrait I made of Janis Ritchie in my home town of Rexburg, Idaho was selected. I’m so excited!
The exhibition is mostly painting with very few photography pieces. However, another photographer whose work was selected was my friend and fellow Salt Lake Seven member, Bill Patterson. Congrats Bill!
Now let me tell you a little about Janis Ritchie. Janis milks 50 cows, three times a day. Until last year, she had never taken a vacation. As soon as she gets home from church, she goes straight to the milking barn. So don’t ask her to stay after church and chit-chat. Cows don’t like it when things don’t run on time. On days when it’s 20 below zero, she’s milking cows. On days when it’s 100 degrees, she’s milking cows. I’ve met a lot of really hard workers in my life, but I can’t think of anyone that works as hard as Janis Ritchie.
Look good for less
Nearly every time I give someone my business card I hear, “I really love your card.” At least 9 out of 10 times I hear that. That’s because Ben at the Mandate Press made them and they are letterpressed on Mowhawk Superfine paper. If you want to make a great first impression but have always felt that letterpressed business cards were not in your budget, then have I got some good news for you. The Mandate Press has a great deal going on right now. A set of 250 cards will cost less than 100 bucks. You can order them through this link. And now you can look good for a low price.

The best line of the night went like this–
Justin: You must be the cutest kid in school
Stevie: Yeah. Smartest, too!

Two people in love
The first time Amy met Russell she found out he was from New York. She said, “I’ve always wanted to go to New York”. He said, “Ok, let’s go.” That was the conversation the first time they met. Now, they are going there on their honeymoon. Ahhhh, young love.
PDN’s Top Knots – Now online
PDN’s Top Knots contest winners are now online. I’m so excited! By the way, Jose Villa, who I’ve written about before, has the cover shot on the print edition of the magazine (available on news stands now). Also, as far as I can tell, there is only one other photographer from Utah other than myself that made it in the magazine. See if you can see who it is.
