Portrait Of An Art Curator – Jason Metcalf

About Jason Metcalf, here’s what Ryan Neely said in Square Magazine: Jason Metcalf has turned Provo inside out, by curating monthly exhibits that stun, impress, and stupefy. Whether it’s giant amorphous structures, bulletproof beer cozies, or thousands of books forming a giant wall, the exhibits at the Sego are always intriguing and backed up with [...]

Portrait of the wedding photographer, Justin Lyon

What luck. Justin Lyon is in town to for the Sundance Film Festilval and had a couple photo shoots just down the block from my office. So he stopped by to say hello. Justin seems like the happiest person I know. I can’t imagine that he’s ever frowned or been sad. Justin and his lovely [...]

How To Treat A Photographer

My mother-in-law gave me a Stephen Shore book for my birthday and it just arrived today. It’s gorgeous. I’m so excited and this is a great way to treat a photographer. From Amazon.com: A teenaged photographic aspirant who hung around at Andy Warhol’s factory in its mid-60s heyday, Shore found success early: his first show [...]

Provo Engagement Pictures

If you ask me, their story is hot. They met on a house boat at Lake Powell. So there you go. Summertime. Swim suits. 100 degrees. Leisure time. No wonder they’re in love. That’s very cool. I mean, hot. Big thanks to the Penny Royal Cafe in Provo for letting us take pictures in their [...]

Salt Lake City Wedding – Barry and Michelle

It was a beautiful and small wedding. Sixteen people total. That includes the bride and groom, the guests, and the little boy carrying the ring. Eighteen people in all if you count the bishop and the photographer. By the way, the last picture shown in this post may be my favorite group shot I’ve ever [...]

Salt Lake City Wedding – Rachel and Micah

Here were my two favorite things about Rachel and Micah’s wedding day in Salt Lake City. I loved the speeches from her parents, and I loved hearing Micah play the violin, accompanied by Rachel. My other two favorite things were hearing Hannah sing and watching their slideshow. Rachel and Micah are so classy and refined [...]

My good fortune

I enjoy my job. And one thing that makes it even easier is that I’m married to someone that’s so supportive about what I do. That’s helpful. But here’s the thing I really wanted to mention. On days when I have a shoot, just before I leave the house, she calls out, “Take great pictures.” [...]

First Portrait Session of 2009 – Provo Utah

The Robisons used to live right behind us. They don’t now, and we miss them dearly. And not just because Julie used to pass delicous food to us over the fence. (The dolmathes were my favorite and she made them from the grape leaves that grew on the fence between our yards). We miss them [...]
