A Day at the Fields

Lacrosse is a sport I know very little about. To be honest, until today, I don't think I had ever watched it before. BYU plays on a field pretty close to our house, and on a sunny Saturday afternoon, it was a perfect occasion to snap a few photos. This was the first time I've ever tried shooting targets that move so fast. Quite frankly, most of my targets don't move at all. It turned out to be a challenge, but I had a lot of fun. On a different note, lacrosse seems like a pretty cool sport. With the brutality of a hockey match, and the quickness of a soccer game, you really can't go wrong.

Flowers on the Window Sill

This weekend we celebrated our six month anniversary of being married. I figure this year will probably be the only time we celebrate a 6 month anniversary. Wendy's favorite flowers are tulips. She loves seeing them in our window... As for me, I couldn't resist the opportunity to snap a few shots.

A Taste of Summer

Winter always seems to crawl at about mid February. Thoughts of sunshine, warmth, and the carefree atmosphere of summer are more and more vivid each day. It's like a glimpse of vibrant color in the midst of a black and white world.

Wendy had to work all day Saturday, and it was one of those days that I could not stand the thought of studying anymore. We've been having a lot of unseasonably wet weather for this time of year and as a result I've been kind of intrigued with how light reflects off of water. I spent the afternoon in Salt Lake trying to capture some of the water on the streets. I have to admit, shooting pictures in a busy city without really having a subject is a lot harder than I thought, especially when the rain is pouring down and I'm trying to keep my camera dry by holding it inside of my coat. I bet I looked funny...

While I was struggling to find any real subjects, and soaking myself in the process, a line of policemen rode up towards the capitol building. Shortly after them came a long line of people, also getting soaked. They were chanting their feelings about gay rights, or in this case, what they thought was the lack thereof. Not exactly the subject I went there to shoot, but the pictures turned out kind of interesting.

Winter can be cold and often dull here in Utah. It's often difficult to find subjects. I've found that the most random of subjects can often be the most interesting.

When it comes to shooting pictures of people, kids are often the perfect subjects. They rarely oppose to having snapshots taken of them, and you can very often get the most genuine expressions from these toddlers. These are a few of my favorites over the last year.

My sister Jenesee graduated from cosmetology school recently and needed to do a hair style for her graduation. This shoot is of a girl in her school that, despite her claims, seemed a natural at modeling. The location is an old abandoned building in Provo behind Seven Peaks water park.
