Do you think outside of the box? We seem to be used to those school pictures. You know the ones – sit down – smile – snap – next. Nobody really likes them yet there is always a box somewhere in the closet full of school pictures. Teeth missing, maybe braces or a new haircut [...]

I woke up yesterday to find six or seven inches of new snow on the ground. Wasn’t it in the seventies just the other day? To make things worse our heater had gone out for some reason. Fortunately we have a wood fireplace that heats things up pretty nicely so I stoked up a fire and [...]

Recently I was hired to create some images for a ski resort in Park City, Utah. The job took about a day and a half to complete since much of it was outdoors and I couldn’t be everywhere when the light was good. I started pretty early in the morning and it was chilly. Fortunately [...]

I was just winding up a shoot when my daughter and one of her friends popped in. They had been playing dress up and were still wearing a couple of knit hats. I grabbed them for a quick portrait and here is the result. A telling portrait about a couple of good friends. Children are [...]

He partners with his Daughter Michelle and together they have a slew of nice young ladies scurrying around the place tending to every customer’s need. As [...]

I just couldn’t help showing a few more railroad images. Chasing trains is one of the things I like to do on occasion. Here in Utah I prefer Spanish Fork or Echo and Weber canyons. Echo canyon is a favorite because I can get off the freeway and take the old road that winds right [...]

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, I like trains. I have a particular affinity for a section of railway known as Cajon Pass (pronounced “Cahon”). Cajon pass is a canyon where the Santa Fe railroad descended off the high desert of Southern California into the Los Angeles basin. Since I have in-laws [...]

I love the evenings here in Utah – and anywhere else for that matter. Quite often storms will begin to clear in the late afternoon and the sun will shine through the cloud layers as it begins to lower in the sky. The sunlight will light up the mountains in reds and oranges as the [...]

I used to joke that I didn’t like babies. Bring them to me when they are about three, old enough to play with or take down to watch my model trains. I mean after all, babies just sit their, unless they are hungry or they need their diaper changed, then it is cry city. It would [...]

In 2006 one of my sons and I took a trip down to Death Valley. We spent three days exploring and photographing the sights. I found it a fascinating place. I’ve come to like the desert. I can remember when I was a kid thinking the great expanses of desert were boring compared to tree [...]

It snowed last night. Yesterday afternoon the temperatures were in the 60’s and by 9:00 pm is was snowing. They say in Utah – if you don’t like the weather then wait Five minutes. I think they are right. Well, as I mentioned in the last post, I enjoy the seasons here in Utah and snow [...]

There is a song used as a theme song for a movie I saw a number of years ago. I believe the name of it is Amore. I don’t remember much about the tune other than the words,”when the moon’s in the sky like a bigga pizza pie that’s amore.” It was a romantic movie, [...]
