It’s probably hard to tell, but we’re standing at 10,000 feet. (Well, 9906 to be exact). It’s called Sawtelle Peak and getting on top of that mountain gives you the feeling you can see Switzerland from there. You can’t, but you can see Wyoming and Montana.
My friend Gheen was working on the some images for his company Clik Elite and asked for some help with the pictures. I thought he wanted me to model my rugged, chiseled body so I took off my shirt and oiled my pecs. That’s what you do, right? Well, as it turns out, he wanted me to do some of the photography.
Clik Elite makes performance packs and camera bags for adventure photographers. If you’ve seen the backpack I carry around, well, that’s a pack from Clik Elite and I’m in love with it.
Hey Gheen, how about this slogan.
Clik Elite: You can oil your pecs later. Right now it’s time to take pictures.

For extra fun, look here to see how things turned out last year for their family photographs.

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

In about three weeks I’m going to drive up to Rexburg Idaho and speak at BYU-Idaho. It’s for their Art Seminar series. Each semester, BYU Idaho invites artists from a variety of disciplines to speak about their work. From their site: “The course is designed to expose Art majors to a variety of contemporary artists, designers, and photographers.” The part about photographers–that’s where I come in. I’m really looking forward to it.
If you find yourself in Rexburg, Idaho on October 22nd, I hope to see you there.

I’m up in Idaho right now for the Memorial Day weekend, and it is good, good. Anyone that thinks Idaho is lame is right. In fact, never come here. You won’t like it. You won’t like all the trees and moose and fresh drinking water. Stay there in Ogden and I’ll just see you at Lagoon.
