One of my students asked me to take her senior pictures for her. I was extremely nervous because I take mostly pictures of plants and mountains, not really people. We took her pictures at Gardner Village in West Jordan. These are my top 9 favorite photos. (I only took about 350 or so.) This is [...]

Thumbnail image for Images From the Road

I recently drove from Riverton, Utah to Riverton, Wyoming for a job interview. Of course I had my iPhone on me and I snapped pictures from my car. Yes, I was driving, but hey, I was careful. The long road ahead. Sheep being herded on the road. I loved it! Baaaaa! Red Canyon I drove [...]

While I was home for spring break a few weeks ago, we had one really good day where the sun was actually shining.  So, me and my mother went for a drive to the waterfalls that are on the Scenic Highway along the Columbia River Gorge.  Here are my best shots from the day. This [...]

I woke up bright and early this morning to snow outside.  It was 8 am and I couldn’t sleep any longer.  (That is what happens when you give up caffeine I guess).  When I saw that it had snowed, I was just so excited.  This whole winter I have wanted to take pictures of the [...]

The Poetry of Fly Fisherman and a 10-2 Rhythm

November 1, 2010
Thumbnail image for The Poetry of Fly Fisherman and a 10-2 Rhythm

One of my favorite books and movies is A River Runs Through It by Norman Maclean.  The writing is simple and beautiful.  His writing as a gentle poetic quality to it.  I just love it! While taking photo’s the other week in the canyon, I came across a fly fisherman.  I sat entranced by his [...]

Aspen Trees

October 17, 2010
Thumbnail image for Aspen Trees

Today, I’m just going to show you the Aspen Trees that I photographed on my little jaunt down the canyon on Friday.  At first I was a little upset that there were so many Aspen trees because they mostly turn a bright yellow when they turn.  But as I went on with the drive, I [...]

A little preview

October 15, 2010
Thumbnail image for A little preview

Today I spent four blissful hours driving through Utah’s canyons and stopping whenever I wanted to so that I could admire the scenery or snap a picture (or 268). This was my favorite. It is SOOC (straight out of the camera) with no editing. I can’t wait to share with you over the next few [...]

Thumbnail image for Sunset at Antelope Island

So, Teresa and I went to Antelope Island last Saturday to take some sunset shots. We had a few glitches in our plans. First, there weren’t any clouds, which made us sad. But the pictures turned out pretty okay. Second, we didn’t get up to the point where we wanted to shoot our shots in [...]

Thumbnail image for The Great Salt Lake at Sunset

My friend Holly took me to the Great Salt Lake late on Tuesday night. There is a great spot where you can park and walk out onto the lake and there is an old train car. We had these great plans to go out at sunset and take some beautiful shot of the light reflecting [...]

Thumbnail image for 5:30 AM, Haiku, Photos, and a Sunrise

Last night I didn’t sleep.  No really.  I never fell asleep.  Finally around 4:30 I got up and started writing.  As I was writing, I noticed the sun coming up and my room getting lighter and lighter.  I thought I would go and watch the sun rise, while I wrote outside.  I wrote a whole [...]

Last night the Salt Lake Valley had a short burst of a thunderstorm.  As I looked out my window, I noticed this beautiful diffused golden light, as can only happen with the sunset and clouds.  I grabbed my camera and took some quick shots before my camera got too wet.  Here are the views.  I [...]

Malta, Idaho – population 200

May 13, 2010

I don’t know why, but every time I tell someone that my family lives in Malta, Idaho, or that I’m going there or that my mom grew up there or whatever, I always add on “population 200.”  I think it tells you a lot about the place.  It is a small town.  But the local [...]

Amsterdam

March 9, 2010

I recently was reminiscing and going over photo’s with a student and I came across this photo I took in Amsterdam.  I love this photo!  There really were so many bikes in Amsterdam.  I wish I could go back now that I have a “fancy” camera.  I’m sure I’d get some even better shots.

Straight Out of Camera (SOOC) Shots

March 7, 2010

For my birthday, a friend of my roommates was staying at our house and she bought me a bouquet of flowers (only my 2nd time receiving flowers!).  They were simple, yet beautiful.  After reading up on aperture, ISO, shutter speed and whatnot I did some experimenting.  Below are my favorite shots that I took.  They [...]

The Lights on Temple Square

December 28, 2009

With all my swollen face and pain, I realized that I stayed in bed and didn’t move for about a week.  And then before all this happened I was crazy busy working two jobs and getting ready for Christmas that I never posted some photo’s I took of the Lights on Temple Square.  Here are [...]

Christmas Decorations

November 28, 2009

My roommate recently put up her Christmas Decorations.  Here are a few edited photos.  On each of them a used the vignette setting in Aperture 2.  I really like it because it is much more subtle of a setting than it is in other photo editing software I have used.  I also used a single [...]
