The Angry Gard'ner

So I had a “client” (the lady who let me buy my camera) tell me that she wanted pictures done of her two year old son.  I was very happy to accommodate her with this request.  I am SUPER happy with how the pictures turned out.  I learned a couple of things: like it is really tough to shoot for the crop (we wanted 8X10s), and getting lighting right is very tricky, but it is [...]

Elation’s the name.  So after the last trip to Temple Square I charged my batteries and made sure I had a cable release for the camera.  here are some of the pictures I took over the course of my trips to get a picture for next years Christmas card. I am thrilled with a couple of them, can you guess which ones.  I truly hope everyone’s holidays were great and that you all have [...]

And frustration is your game.Last night I went to Temple Square to take some pictures.  I went alone so that I could take all the time I needed.  Anyway, I waited 40 minutes in the church office “plaza” waiting for the following shot to clear of people.  40 minutes in the rain/snow standing in one place worrying if my battery is going to die before getting to take to the picture I want, worrying about [...]

35mm f/1.8 1/8s NO TRIPOD!!!
I feel like my blog is starting sound very monologue-ish.  But for better or worse it is what it is. I am also way behind on what I want to write about.  We went to Gardner Village October 30th, and I am just now getting around to posting about it.
Gardner Village is an open air group of shops in South Jordan it is build around an old grain mill and is [...]

I have been told that I BETTER have a good post for this or else. So for better or worse here it is.

Can I even call it camping any more?  Since we got our trailer our definition of camping has changed dramatically.  I still eat food that is not doctor approved, the kids still get dirty and in trouble for playing in the fire, I still listen to the radio, okay so what if it is an internet radio station and my generator is powering the whole thing. The fundamentals are the same.

Over the weekend -long [...]
