I don’t want to get over you.
Remember when I blogged regularly? Remember when all I needed to blog were some mundane captures / macro photos? Who needs words anyways? Yeah. Been craving a slurpee for a while now 😉

Moon
My sister Mel pleaded on Facebook earlier this evening: “Will someone with a camera that takes decent night pictures PLEASE take a picture of that moon[]??” So I decided what the heck, I’d just picked up a Canon 1.4x extender which was still sitting in the box yet unused, so I figured this was as…

Benefit Concert for my bro, Dan Sloan
This Friday there is a benefit concert being held to help my brother out, primarily with medical expenses. My wonderful cousin Cassi has spear-headed the event, which will feature some local musicians as well as entertainer Jason Hewlett. I’ve heard nothing but great things about Jason and I’m sure the evening will be a blast.…

2010
I mused on New Year’s Eve 2010 via Facebook that I was “Currently failing to wax reflective over 2010 drawing to a close. ;)” Simply my way of countering the many overly simplified reactions to 2010’s departure that I saw there on Facebook. I would be remiss if I didn’t reflect on 2010, however, even…

The Forgotten Story of Thanksgiving
Fascinating read, and history I think is important be shared and taught about the origins of Thanksgiving. It illuminates the importance of freedom and private ownership / individual stewardship in producing abundance. If one cannot place their own interests first, by their nature they are unlikely to be productive enough to bless the lives of…

Zion 2010 – preview
Somehow I feel like this is a fitting photo to summarize this trip. I had to post at least one image tonight. I edited the photos from this trip and I knew there was gonna be some magic with how the sky was Saturday afternoon. Marianne, Jesse, Addie, Westen, Steve and myself made the trip…

Shawn & Kali — The Wedding (lo-fi)
So I lied. My cousin-in-law Emily Ann asked if I’d taken lots of photos at Shawn’s wedding, to which I replied in some way that I hadn’t taken any. Nay, I hadn’t brought my nice camera with me to the wedding nor the reception. But I had actually taken a few pictures (and Kate took…

Oktoberfest 2010
point & shoot bokeh Yes, I’m jealous of Westen’s corduroy cargo pants. They don’t seem to make them in adult sizes. Something point & shoot cameras are good for– shooting candids unobtrusively from the hip.

The PUNISHER gets PUNISHED! (or, eating lots of French toast)
Not too long ago, I mentioned to Shawn that Kneaders had all-you-can-eat French toast for relatively cheap. So, he decided he was going to hit up Kneaders on his day off to pound some. Keep in mind that we refer to Shawn as “the Punisher” for a reason: his ability to down copious amounts of…

Getting back to it…
I came across a blog or two recently that reminded me of what my blog used to be like. I used it to document life. I was originally inspired to start a blog by the advent of digital photography and how it made it possible to publish images to the web so quickly. Granted, I…

Sleepy…
Ahh… he was too comfy and adorable looking not to try to take a picture. Good opportunity to take the LX5 for a spin… not too bad, really, for a point & shoot.

Shawn & Kali
These two got engaged a little over a month ago. We decided to go out to Saltair to do a shoot and got captured some fun images. I love how this one looks / feels… It feels so nice to finally have more time to shoot and to edit. More to come 🙂
