On the night before Jeannie and Julian got married, they gathered with friends and family at their favorite restaurant in Park City, Utah. Since they live in Park City, they know all the best places and chose to celebrate at 350 Main.
After dinner, Jeannie’s father told everyone about Jeannie and Julian’s first date. The date didn’t go so well. But their second date was a hit. And on that night, they made an apple pie together. And so, on the night before the wedding, and to celebrate love and first dates and second dates, apple pie was served to all the guests for dessert.
p.s. 350 Main gave me the best steak I’ve ever eaten. Cooked meat, yum yum.

Stephanie and Ben. They are great parents. Their kids are well behaved. They are pleasant to be around. They are happy. They ask questions and can carry on a good conversation. I know, I’m making them sound like the perfect couple, but that’s only because I think they are the perfect couple.
Oh, there’s more. Stephanie has a popular blog where she continually gives out insight and advice on how to live with style and good taste. (I know one thing. She’s got great taste in portrait photographers).
So we met in Midway. The weather was pleasant. A slight chill and clouds in the sky, but not so bad that you wished you were home with some stew and a good book. We walked, some. Got some of those stickers in our socks. And all the while, had a great time. In fact, I was sad when we were finished because I’d like to be around these folks more often.
Thanks, Stephanie and Ben.
Flashback. Want to see the photographs of their family from last year? Here they are.

I haven’t said much about this to anyone, but I figured since she recently posted it on her blog it would be ok to mention. I’m working on a long term documentary project with Stephanie Nielson, photographing her recovery. She is a light. And I am, like millions of others, so inspired by her. It’s a real honor to be able to collaborate on this with her.
Thanks, Stephanie and Christian.

Thanks to everyone that came to the Art Seminar lecture at BYU Idaho last Thursday. I really did have the time of my life. It was great to meet everyone that came up after and I really appreciate what Kelly Burgener, dean of the art school said. “That was as good as any Art Seminar we’ve ever had”. A sincere thanks to you for having me.

Thursday, October 22 at 6pm I’m giving a lecture at BYU-Idaho for their Art Seminar series. I’m going to be telling the story about the first time I kissed a girl (it was during the TV show Family Feud) and about the time a guy was walking around Rexburg without a coat when it was twenty below zero. (I’m going to leave the swear words out of that story. It still works without the swears. I mean, it’s not like I’m giving a lecture to pirates). I’ll also show some of my work and talk about how I got started in photography, why I do it, where it’s taken me, and the photographers that have made an impact on my craft. My goal is that listeners will be both entertained and inspired.
I may even work in the following quote from the book No More Secondhand Art:
The greatness of a poem or a painting is not that it portrays the thing observed or experienced, but that it portrays the artist’s or the poet’s vision cued off by his encounter with reality. Hence the poem or the painting is unique, original, never to be duplicated.
Maybe I’ll see you there.
Smith Building – Room 240 – 6pm

Monday. Yo La Tengo. Good times. Rock and Roll.
Yo La Tengo has been going at this for over 20 years. It shows. They know what they’re doing.

It’s been a couple years since I photographed a wedding in Rexburg Idaho, my home town. It’s always good to go back. Thanks Ryley and Chelse.

The band Passion Pit played last night at the Urban Lounge. I was there to document the good times. Check out the above slideshow and then cry because you weren’t there.
Something to keep in mind as you check out the pictures. I wasn’t at the very front. There were two dudes right in front of me. They weren’t about to budge. I had to shoot between them. Then, at one point, two girls came and tried to shove me out of the way. It was a forceful and worthwhile effort on their part. In fact, I had to rely on the boxing-out skills I learned on the 3rd ward basketball team 25 years ago. (We once lost, 100-19). But last night I held my ground and got the shot (unlike 25 years ago).
You kids like the rock and roll music? Then you ought to be reading Dainon’s blog. He’s the one that told me about this band. Thanks Dainon.
(Techinical note in case you’re curios: Both the images and video were shot on the Canon 5D Mark II with a fixed 50mm 1.4 lens. That’s right. The images AND video were shot using the same camera. I don’t use the video so much but last night thought I’d give it a whirl).

They laughed, they danced, they strutted like divas. Then they left and I thought, wow, those ladies must have a lot of fun together.

Heather and I have at least two things in common. We’re both photographers (her blog here) and we both grew up in Rexburg. That’s why we get along so well.
Thanks, Heather.

50 portraits in three days. That was the assignment from the Burton Group. These portraits were all photographed at the Sheraton Hotel in Salt Lake City.
