Utah Friends of Basset Hounds

Last week I volunteered my services to photograph some dogs for the Utah Friends of Basset Hounds. These guys were not my most cooperative subjects (Rachel and I had to dispense a lot of treats) but they would all make great best friends. There aren't a lot of creatures in this world that are more loyal and loving than a basset hound. I know that by experience. These dogs, and many more, all deserve a great home.

Black and Blue

No reason to get excited, the thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.

Senior Portraits

I'm offering a sweet deal on portrait shoots right now, so if you want some photos hit me up. 'Nuff Said. This senior portrait today was the first I did for this spring sale.

Reggie

Our hound dog. He's part Pharoah Hound, part Basengi, and all awesomeness.

Holi Festival '11: Weirdos In The Mist

For the third time I photographed the Holi Festival at the Sri Sri Radha Krishna temple in Spanish Fork. To see a lot more photos from this, and past years, Utah, checkout my website in the next couple of days.

Titan and Lisa

It's true. I can even photograph small children.

The Dewey Bridge 1916-2008

I took this shot of the Dewey Bridge shortly before it burned down in 2008. At one time it was the second longest suspension bridge west of the Mississippi River.

Moab Fever

Every year around this time I tend to get my own version of Spring Fever in which I start having a powerful urge to go to Moab. I start thinking about it constantly, and having bad flashbacks. The place is calling me. So before I go to sleep this morning I have decided to post some old photos I just rediscovered. It's always nice to find out that you took some cool shots that you forgot about.

That first shot was taken above the Devil's Garden as night was falling, and I was perilously close to being lost. Thes next one was a self-assignment during a Southern Utah Photography Workshop, in Arches National Park, for the SLCC a few years ago. Really I just wanted to go on a hike all by myself to Dark Angel, and this North Fork product shot gave me a good excuse, so I volunteered to do it.


This next Shoe shot was also on the same trip to Arches. I was using some ridiculously expensive camera that I was not familiar with, courtesy of Mamiya, and so I botched the focus on it. My bad. Because of that, I never used this photo. Nevertheless, if I overlook my own humiliation at the hands of the Mamiya 7 I actually like this shot, especially because it is natural light with only a reflector disc filling in the shadows a bit.


I intend to make some more photos of Southern Utah in April. If only I can live that long, alas.

Dead Vines and Things

As I was driving around with the big UPS truck this Christmas season, I would pass every day by these vines on the outside of a parking structure on Cottonwood Parkway. I really love the way they look with the few dead leaves and berries still hanging on there. I finally got around to driving over there and making some snapshots of them.

Fall Portraits

A while back, I took some pics of my little sister, and my woman, while we were checking out the fall leaves in Big Cottonwood Canyon, and I never got around to posting them. So here are a few.
