Photography
I sure enjoyed having an afternoon last week to just sit on the beach and watch the world go by. I need more afternoons like that.

Speaking of being in love, if you’re recently engaged, you’ll want to know about this.

I wanted to get this couple’s email address and say, hey I just took a really great picture of you two, so let me get your email address and I’ll send it to you. But in my head I imagined they’d think I was a stalker or a weirdo of some sort, or someone trying to sell them pest control.
So I guess they’ll never see it. Too bad. What couple wouldn’t want a picture like that?
Photographed from the Top of the Rock, and overlooking the Empire State Building.

I picked a slow shutter speed so the photograph would show that smooth glide.

Young photographers are often pressured into an emphasis on individual style, a search for distinction, a quest for newness and differentness. Yet the truth of the matter is that a unique style is a by-product of visual exploration, not its goal. Personal vision only comes from not aiming for it. In dim light, objects emerge from the gloom when not looking at them. It is the same with style; paradoxically, it is a natural, inevitable result of emphasizing subject, not self.

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.

Back in the summer of 1998, I drove across the country, starting in New York City and arriving in Salt Lake. This photograph was taken on that trip, near the Texas/New Mexico border. My friend Brooke was moving from NYC to LA and asked me to come along for the ride.
Today it’s raining in Provo (I heard there’s snow in the mountains) and outside it looks a little bit like it does in this picture from 11 years ago.
Goodbye, summer. I’m going to miss you.

No, not the best photograph I’ve ever taken, but something about this pictures amuses me.

Someone in these photographs is 100 years old! (I’m going to let you guess which person). When I asked the secret to her long life and what she ate, I got this answer: Bacon.

Looking for family photographs just like mama used to make? I don’t know what to tell you there, but if you want something fresh, authentic and artistic with a dash of whimsy, we should talk. Wedding photography? We do that too.

Advice for photographers:
Never think photography is easy. It’s like poetry in that it’s easy enough to make a few rhymes, but that’s not a good poem. –Chris Steele-Perkins
There’s so much more where that came from on Magnum’s blog.

The first Friday of every month in Provo is Gallery Stroll. Good times, good art.
Here’s a fun slideshow with more pictures.

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 it’s so cool. And I wish I would have thought of it. And then the other thing I wonder, is, if this is old news and mentioning it here is like getting an email from a dopey friend that wants to tell you all about this new thing on the internet called MySpace.

Lisa and Ryan came for engagement pictures. We walked around Provo a little bit, not too far from my office. Then we drove to Provo Canyon. It’s that time of year, so yes, I’ve been there a lot lately. I consider myself lucky. Do yourself a favor, and drive up there this week. Here’s a one minute slideshow from these engagement portraits.
Interested in getting something like this for yourself or someone you love? Give me a call.
