Some Film

It's always fun to go back to the manually wound roll of film and reminds me of my early days in photography. Here are a few pictures from Utah Lake. The photos can't express how cold and windy and muddy it was that day.

In Class

I'm in my Digital Imaging class and I decided to put this up. Why not?

Gideon and the Egg

This is a digital composite I created as part of a final project for last semester. Even though it is very Uelsmann-esque, it's fun to dabble in various types of alternative digital photography.

What came first?

The Pianist

Miriam is by far the most talented pianist I have ever heard in my life. I have the privilege of being her brother, which naturally qualifies me to do all of her photography. I guess you could say I am a sponsor of sorts. I am very pleased with the images from this session. Aside from minimal cropping and adding type, I didn't do any adjustments to these images, they are straight from the camera.

Riders

Wow. What a change in pace. A few friends from school and I went to a track in highland and took some pictures for some BMX riders so that they can submit them to potential sponsors. We had a pretty complete setup: a generator to power two power supplies, which powered three flashes, these all triggered by a wireless transmitter on the camera called a Pocket Wizard. That enabled us to move anywhere on the track and not be held down by cables. A few of these jumps ended in teeth-clenching wipe-outs, but I guess that's not as much of a concern as is getting the picture of the good part of the jump. Sometimes I need to shoot something totally different to remind myself how much I truly love photography.

Fui and Leonne

This was definitely the most unique wedding I've ever done. Simply organizing such a gigantic wedding party was a memorable experience. I had no idea what kind of cultural overload I would experience, especially that evening. It was a challenge just to keep shooting and not get distracted by the overwhelming beauty of the dancing and miles of handmade gifts. I'll never forget it.
