I cannot really find the words to describe how this time lapse footage makes me feel. Definitely a sense of awe, wonder and humility. I’d love to shoot something like this sometime… I don’t even care if theirs a meteor shower going on. Joshua Tree Under the Milky Way from Henry Jun Wah Lee on…

I’ve been spending some time in front of the computer tonight just mesmerized by what the camera can capture. I’ve finally had some time to edit the photos I took of Janae and Jamison a month ago. This was the evening before their wedding– we (Kate and I) did a formals session with them so…

Here’s an old gem from August of 2003. Jake decided to complain about the small font size on my blog back then, because I was complaining about how unkempt I thought my site was in general. I don’t think I was politically or principle-minded enough to appreciate it at the time, but in retrospect it’s…

For anyone interested, I have started a new blog that exists purely for art / design / photography (a visual art sandbox, I call it). I derived this post from one I published there as part of a weekly creative challenge. Hey– some content here is better than no new content, right? Sadly I wrote…

Goonies is 25 years old this year… So check this out. It’s Friday afternoon and I’m at the office trying to stay awake. I fire up the movie Goonies to listen to while I’m working and I’m enjoying the music from the opening sequence. I give it some thought, and then go to Amazon and…

Unrelated to the post below, just gratuitous posting of an image 😀 This one is from that same trip to the San Diego Zoo in May of 2006. I thought I was out of sorts yesterday (when I wrote the post about tinted windows and such). I found myself this evening needing to concentrate on…

…or rather, my mind is out of joint. These are some of the thoughts rattling around in there today. I’ve been a bit distracted for the last couple weeks. Changing cars shouldn’t be that drastic of a life change, but in a month of the year that I usually struggle with, it’s not surprising that…

This is one of the very first pictures I took with a dSLR. May 9, 2006, I had a shiny new Canon 5D that I picked up in anticipation of some traveling– first San Diego for a couple days, then on to Hawaii. There’s just something classic about gorillas. Love how he’s just got his…

Monday evening I was digging through an box looking for a CD when I came across this from the old days in Provo (winter 2002). I don’t recall what I thought of it at the time, but 8 years later I think it’s pretty amusing. One of my first thoughts was “blog-worthy”. Considering the “Holiday”…

… that is, until I got to work. Then I KNEW there wasn’t going to be one just yet, hahaha. This is what greeted me when I arrived at my desk at work this morning! Yes, this is none other than a cake made by the infamous Kathy. Remember the last time I tantalized you…

I’ve been reflecting a bit today on serving others lately, (perhaps a bit more so today due to a conversation with Kate this morning). I do wish I had organized my time a bit better this month, there were opportunities missed due to that disorganization. But the truth is, there are opportunities to serve and…

Last Thursday was Muti’s birthday, and as many of the family that could gathered at the Garden Cafe at the Grand America Hotel for lunch to celebrate. Mar dressed Addie in her new Christmas dress, and so we tried to get some pictures. Well, Addie is VERY busy these days, so she wasn’t exactly going…

Just a quick look back 2 years ago. This weekend it will have been 2 years since Shawn returned from his mission in Estonia (a week after Kate returned from hers in Jersey)… wow. Where does the time go? I’m sure you guys both miss it… but we like having you home. 🙂 Yes, I’m…
