Seth Godin
Seth Godin spoke on Friday in Salt Lake. I loved it. He is funny and inspiring and brilliant. I saw my friend Janet Meiners there, too, and judging by the length of her blog post about it she took far better notes than I did. Big thanks to Kelly King Anderson at the Startup Princess [...]

I love it when strangers (or anyone, really) take time from their busy day to write me. Here’s an email I received today from someone I’ve never met or spoken to. Comments: I live in Québec Canada and I think your photography is so inspiring, I would actually travel to UT for a sitting with [...]
How to Get a Free Portrait Session for Someone You Love

So you nominate a worthy friend, sister, neighbor, teacher, general loved one, and that winner wins a free portrait session, plus 20 high [...]

Painting of a photographer
I kept seeing this guy outside my office. He was always painting. So one day on my way home I approached him and asked what he was doing and he told me his name was Steven Waggoner. He explained his cool paining project called “Hour Provo” and then he asked me if he could paint [...]

Provo Mayor?
Steve Clark is running for the mayor of Provo this fall. Earlier this week he announced his candidacy and today he came by my studio to be photographed.

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 [...]

Photography put to good use
Have you seen this? And, do you ever see something that is the sort of thing you would have thought of if you were smarter or putting forth a little bit more effort (or, at least that’s the way it feels)? Well, that’s how I feel about The Human Calendar. I love it. I think [...]
Family pictures – The Roach Family
It won’t be long before these guys are moving to Germany. So they came to town to say goodbye to family and friends. While they were in Provo, I think they did something very smart.

Photography Lesson
By a long shot, the person most responsible for my development as a photographer is Kent Miles. Here’s something great I learned from Kent. “You can never see what’s behind you by looking twice as hard at what’s in front of you”. In other words, move around. Look past the obvious. And the best picture [...]

What sort of Sherrif do you think he’d be?
I’m scanning some negatives from around 1997 – 2000. He’s an image from way back then. An oldie, but a goodie.

WPPI
WPPI was really, really great/exhausting. There was so much info packed into three days. For me, hearing Denis Reggie speak was the most valuable part of WPPI this year. He was, by a long shot, the most inspiring speaker and the one with the most valuable and well thought out content. He was bright, informative, [...]
