  • Advances in the Photography Front

    I’ve yet to become a huge fan of post processing.  In a way, it seems like cheating, but mostly it’s just because I loose interest in such things after a photo has been taken.  But I’m trying to do better.  We recently purchased an iMac, and with it comes iPhoto.  I love this program, and…

  • An anniversary trip to Wine Country

    Back in August, Tara and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary.  Since we did not have any thawed wedding cake this year, we decided to take a mini vacation. Last fall we had the idea to go on a weekend trip to Grand Junction, CO for wine tasting.  A year later, that idea came to fruition.…

  • “Was that girl topless?”

    This past weekend, Tara and I tried out a new style of camping: Yurt camping.  A yurt is a Mongolian style dwelling.  Chances are, you’ve seen one before, you just didn’t realize that it was called a yurt.   There is a fair number of these dwellings throughout Utah backcountry.  We chose the ones at…

  • Photo of the Whatever

    I feel slightly silly posting this picture here after I already posted it in a facebook album, but I’m just so darn pleased with how it turned out.  Tara and I were on our way back from Omaha after the holidays on the Amtrak, and got off in Winter Park, CO to stretch our legs. …

  • So, my wife caught me light painting…

    I recently purchased a new tripod.  This is very exciting because it was a long process of deliberating back and forth between something that is light and something that is functional.  In the end, I opted for functional, and have been happy with it. The other night, I was down in the basement with the…

    With more and more snow blanketing the mountains each week, soon Tara and I will be dawning our snowshoes for our Sunday afternoon hikes.  This early November stroll was likely our last snowless hike of the season.   50mm  F11  1/250 sec  ISO-100

  • Photo of the Whatever

    So this just in: October is nearly over.  This means fall is giving way to winter.  I swear Summer goes way faster when one is no longer in school.  This doesn’t really make sense to me.  To be honest, I don’t mind that the warm weather is dwindling.  I’d say Tara and I made good…

  • Photo of the Whatever

    Tara and I traveled up Millcreek canyon on a Sunday afternoon so she could have a change of scenery while she studied for her board exam.  Meanwhile, I entertained myself down at the stream.  I had trouble picking the best photo, though.  I was ready to say the first is the best, but Tara insisted…

  • Adventures with Light Painting

    A few months ago, thanks to the National Geographic Photo of the Day RSS feed, my mind was opened up to a whole new realm of photography: Light Painting.  Sure, I was always well aware of the concept—nightime city shots with streaked headlights or the incredible all-night exposure of the starry sky, but I had…
