Salt Flat Arial

Okay, so this isn't an arial photograph, but an arial subject. I've been going through some past shoots trying to get a group of newer photos out onto my web site. While looking through a shoot at the salt flats, I found this gem. This boy and his father were playing this game while I was working with a different family. But, I just had to get a photo of it. I love how he looked right over at me when I got this photo.

Weekend Trip to Triassic; Berries, Boulders, and Petroglyphs

Over the weekend a friend and I drove south to the Triassic bouldering area. This piles of rocks (big rocks) is just outside the city of Elmo, UT and is a developing bouldering area. I'm too fat to climb, so we just explored the area so my friend would know what to expect when he takes his scouts down in a few weeks. Here are a few pictures from the trip.

The following is a shot of the Land Of A Thousand Boulders area.  There are over 80 different routes among these boulders.

A close up of Juniper berries on the tree outside my tent.

One of a few petroglyph panels we saw.  This is one of the bigger panels.  I can't speak to their authenticity, but they seemed more real than the "danny + sally" in a heart farther down the wall.

Family Portrait

The fall is always a busy time for me. I get the chance to do lots of family portraits. Here's one we did last night over in Mapleton. I loved the warm light and the grass.

Juried Holga Show

Last week I entered 5 prints into a juried Holga show at the SAANS gallery downtown SLC. This is the first time I've ever submitted to a show, so I'm hoping a couple of my prints are picked to hang. The show will run from Nov. 19 through Dec. 17. You can get more information on the SAANS website. I'm not going to post the images I submitted (Then you wouldn't have to go see the show.) but I figured I should throw something up there. Here is a self portrait.

Portraits and dogs

I've done several portraits with dogs. I've done small dogs, medium dogs, and I've even done one one with a dog named Thor; you can imagine the size of Thor, the name fits. Someday I may do a post of all the dog pics I have. Until I have a time to pull them all together, here is one I did last week while working with a local preschool. We did this photo as a gift for the girl's mother.

Portraits

It's been a busy week for me photographically. I've done a family portrait, a preschool (about 60 individual portraits and 4 group photos) got prints going for a judged show I'm submitting to, and worked on a photo assignment I'm working on with some friends. Here is a head shot I did while working on the assignement.
