Willie lives in Grand Junction, Colorado. Attorney by day, blue-grass musician by night. Now, I’ve never seen him do any lawyer things. I’m just assuming he’s as good as they get.

But I have heard him sing and play his guitar and when that happens, you get a permanent smile that won’t fade for three days. More sensatives types, you just might cry. The girls swoon. The boys want to go buy their own guitar.

It’s good to know Willie DeFord.

Here’s a sample:

I’ve know Brett since we were in Mrs McCullochs class, way back in the third grade. He’s one of the funniest people I know and I steal his jokes on a regular basis, then pass them off as my own. For example, once he sent me a slogan for the city of Orem that went like this: We’re just like Provo, only Norther!

I tell that to people but never let on that Brett said it first.

Brett is a talented actor but has for some time let that talent lie dormant. It’s been hidden under a bushel. That is, until recently. Now, he’s acting again. And for his most recent audition, he needed a headshot. That’s where I come in.

Here you go, Brett. Break a freak’n leg.

But all good things must end, as they say. And Ashley’s time at our office is now finished. Thanks, Ashley, for all the great things you did around here. And good luck in your next big thing, whatever the next big thing turns out to be.

Alta Moda just re-designed their website so you want to check it out here and they even have a few pictures I took of beautiful Lindsay. Their party was great fun and it was good to see all the people I dig, like Melissa, Tim, Jon, Leo, Carol and Cynthia, and I was able to meet three photographers who I’ve been dying to meet–Kate, Rebekah, and Stacy. Good times and fancy cheese. And Micah from the Gatsbys was there handing out his demo CD which Amy and I listened to on the way home and danced a funky dance in the car. Want your next function to be awesome? Hire the Gatsbys. If you came to our Christmas party you might recall that’s who we were lucky enough to have play for us.

Thanks, Hilary for the good times. You are a dream.

Hi. My name is Justin. I am a wedding photographer. I love love and I want to photograph your wedding, especially if you are getting married in Hawaii or Greece.

If you know Melissa, you’ll consider yourself lucky any time she’s around.

As always, great to see you today Melissa. Come back soon.

Trent is the Chief Photographer at the Salt Lake Tribune and has been the Utah News Photographer of the Year three times. His assignments have taken him all over the world, like Africa, Honduras, and Ogden. (I’m just guessing he’s been to Ogden. He didn’t tell me anything about going there. Imagine bragging about going to Ogden. And by the way, he didn’t brag about anything).

From the bio on his website: His 2003 composite photograph of Utah Jazz point guard John Stockton was published over six pages in Sports Illustrated, the largest photograph in the history of the magazine.

Here’s a short slideshow with a few more of their portraits.

I like the big fuzzy one.

So instead of going to the Wilco show (seriously, I was so bummed) I just photographed my friend Brett instead. He saw this picture and called it the King of the Adams Apple. I laughed. Good times. Brett’s always been so adept at cheering me up. Last night was no different. Thanks Brett, uh, I mean thanks King of the Adams Apple.
