It’s been snowing all day long … my friend Rich pointed out some cool looking drops on his sunroof so we both took some photos. This is the first time in five years I’ve lived someplace where it snows, and I felt like a little kid that saw snow for the first time. Yay, snow! :)
Book Cover October 26, 2009

A friend of mine recently pointed me to an image of mine in use … on a book! (Here’s the link to the book on Amazon.) I see my photos used all the time and most of them are found in use on the web some where (like in a blog or a news article) but it’s always a much bigger deal to see them in print.
So, I went to the local bookstore to buy a copy that I can add to my collection of “images in-use” (doubt that I will read it … lol). They did do some Photoshop work to the image on the shirt – here’s the original so you can take a look.
First Stock Shoot with my 7D October 22, 2009

This past weekend I used my Canon 7D in a stock photo-shoot for the first time. I’m extremely happy with the results … the focusing and overall quality was excellent, and it’s also nice to have larger file-sizes to offer to customers on iStockphoto. I am also lucky to have a good friend with some pro Canon glass to use for the shoot, since I don’t have any Canon lenses of my own quite yet (thanks, Rich!).
The two models in the shoot were wonderful to work with, and it’s really inspiring to see elderly people with such energy and a sense of humor. Days like this make me so grateful that I get to do this for my job. :)

A friend of mine was in a scooter accident recently, so Rich and I got a few photos of her beautifully colored black eye (I even got an über close-up with the macro attachement here). Thanks, Kati, for modeling for us. :)
Old Greek Town SLC Photowalk Recap October 19, 2009

This past weekend we had a really great turnout at the Photowalking Utah “Old Greek Town” photowalk. More than 50 photographers showed up and, after a risky group photo (video here, thanks to Jeremy Hall!), we made our way through the streets of downtown Salt Lake during the beautiful “golden hour” of the evening.
I’m always surprised at how many new faces we see at each event! It really solidifies the fact that Utah has an amazing photographic community, and I’m very proud to be a part of it. For me the “photography” aspect of the get-together is just an excuse to hang out with a great group of people. ;) It’s also really neat to talk to the passers-by asking about the group and what we are doing … I guess that’s what happens when several dozen photographers go walking down a sidewalk together!
To see photos from the walk and view upcoming events go to the “Photowalking Utah” Flickr group. More information can also be found at http://www.photowalkingutah.com.
