    Mmm, I love this time of year. I’m a sucker for the magic that Christmas lights create. This is the tree at the office… out of focus, obviously.

    I’m not sure I could express the idea of summer with words as well as with an image or two. Taken last Monday on the Fourth of July: This is a rarity these days– Addie smiling directly at the camera 🙂 Helps to be a) using a telephoto and thus be farther away, and b)…

    No, I didn’t take this picture– belongs to some random condo on the Big Island at Mauna Lani that I’ve never been to but wouldn’t mind living in. It was pretty warm out driving home from work today. Probably in the high 80s, which is still nice but not quite as perfect as yesterday’s mid…

    Wonderful Easter Sunday at the Knight home today. Great time with family, delicious food, adorable kids… the warmth of the holiday was felt. Just a couple quick edits of Addie and Westen in their Easter outfits during the little Easter egg hunt this evening 🙂 While it’s nigh impossible to get Addie to look at…

    From last Friday, Feb. 26… One of the few times that I was actually heading west as the sun set, I looked at the mountains and I could see a hint of pink like there wanted to be a brilliant sunset, but I wasn’t sure I’d see one. Only moments later the sky exploded. I…

    Wow, it’s December already. This pic feels cold enough… it was taken June 5, 2009. Jeff was in town for a few days and so we decided to go on a hike. Being June we really didn’t think anything of it– we showed up to the base of the trail with t-shirts and shorts on.…

    I listened last night again to the 2007 First Presidency Christmas Devotional. All of the talks moved me as much or more than they did when I heard them in person two years ago. This is the part that is on my mind this evening. President Monson shared a story of a Christmas from his…

    It’s amazing how observant kids are, how much they pick up from us that we don’t even realize we’re teaching them. I’ve seen cousins blog about their experiences with this, but it’s fun to see first hand too. We visited Melissa and had dinner at her place tonight, and Addie entertained us as usual. At…

    I didn’t even take any photos yesterday– talk about off my game. This was taken December 22, 2008, you can sorta see the wrapping paper in the background… but trust me. The apple pie Muti made yesterday was as good as it looks in this image, and as good as it’s ever been, absolutely scrumptious.…

    Another from the Carlsbad trip. Don’t have time to do more, but I’m definitely stoked to edit more from this trip now. I had 2 lenses I shot with in Carlsbad with my 40D, the 10-22mm, and the 100mm macro (didn’t / still don’t have anything longer than that). Particularly I’m looking forward to a…

    I never really did get around to processing and posting any of the photos I took while camping at the beach in Carlsbad, California last year. (Story of my life). I think this was taken sometime in the morning. I had to think for a moment to remember whether I had made it to any…

    Because In-N-Out Burger opened in the northern part of Utah today (in both Draper and Orem). Traffic wasn’t so bad going east on 12300 so and turning left northbound onto State, but boy were they piled up the other direction. Anyhow, I did not eat there today– the wait was 45 minutes to order and…

    Don’t let the picture fool you, I don’t miss summer *yet*… I’m enjoying the cold air, it evokes a Holiday spirit which I love. Come January… different story 😉 I have taken so many photos that I’ve never really touched after taking. I took this one over a year ago with a camera and lens…

    A couple weeks ago I went on a photowalk that was organized by some local photographers and sponsored by a local photography company called Pictureline (the candy / toy store of photography nerds… love that place.* They had managed to procure Lensbaby lenses for over the more than 60 photographers that showed up to use.…

    I wrote last night’s post in the middle of working last minute on a project (magazine layout) due this morning. So I proceed to go to class and participate in the critique, with those words still on my mind, the question of what I’ve made of myself and what I’ve done with the time I’ve…
