Older Pics that I should have posted sooner

These are some pictures I took the day before the Huntington-Croft wedding. Pretty sure this is Laguna Beach, but I did get a bit turned around in the car . . . I stopped when I saw parking near the water. :)

Trunk or Treat

This past Halloween, I was asked to participate in the community's "Trunk or Treat" activity held at a local church. My assignment? Take pictures of the kids/families as they came by. So I drove my car over, opened up the trunk and draped a white sheet over the back of my car and took some photos, Avedon-style. To me it was obviously a photo-backdrop, but to the kids my car was "the ghost car." Here are a few that I'm pretty happy with. Not having much practice taking pictures of kids, I definitely felt stretched . . . Enjoy the pics!

Dan and Ben Tengelsen in Concert

Songwriters and talented musicians, Dan and Ben Tengelsen have made a name for themselves on the Utah music circuit. Their concert last month featured some of their old favorites from their first album From the Mountains to the Sea, including "The Ballad of Jimjemal" mixed with some newer tunes. They had a guest appearance from Amy Whitcomb who rocked out on a mix of her own songs finishing up with a rock-edge rendition of "Natural Woman." It was fun to attend and even more fun to photograph. Check out the Tengelsen's music on iTunes -- my own favorite is "Back to You."

"Hot as a hair dryer in your face . . . "

. . . as U2 phrased it so brilliantly in their song "New York." Although I wasn't in New York for the hottest part of the year, the attitude pulsing through every high street and alleyway was impossible to ignore. These pictures are a few of my impressions and experiences from my two-day stint in the big city this past May.

Chichen Itza

Some pictures I just recovered from several months back. My second visit to Chichen Itza was much different than the first time around. Twelve years ago, the park was not listed among the official "Seven Wonders of the World." This meant that there were no tour buses, no congested queue of tourists waiting out the hours-long line by flicking through images on their digital cameras. I didn't get in the line with the other tourists this time either, to tell you the truth. Instead I came back several hours later and got in free, had much better lighting in much less crowded surroundings. Just a thought for any would-be travelers to this part of the world. Enjoy!

Just what I've been up to . . .

So this is my first post in quite a while. I promise you, though, that I have been photo-busy. I've had several shoots, been accepted to an internship with an awesome photographer, booked several more shoots, and been learning the art of framing. I have a lot of pictures to post, just hang in there! In the meantime, here are a few shots of autumn on the Alpine Loop.
