Up at the UOP ahora, skiing on plastic.

Josie Hartman slides into home during the Triple Crown All Stars game on Thursday, July 29, 2010 at Quinn’s Junction.

While the photos are ok, I think the video in this case tells his story best, so take a lookies. Also, the story in my opinion got terrible play in our paper, so I don’t have a pdf to show.

Video is here.
I also wrote the story, which is here.
More stills are on the blog.

July 27 marks the last day fireworks can be legally discharged, meaning it is also the last day they can be photographed. Here is my best catch from the season.

While saying farewell to Beth and Ramin.

Since our current intern KRISTIN HEINICHEN has yet to introduce herself or post any photos (I am not even sure she uses the Internet…I kid) I thought I’d take the liberty to post this cool photo she shot the other day.

This was a classic Sol Neelman assignment and she came out with a stellar photo of what now is the largest water balloon fight in history.

Nice job, Kristin.

I am still trying to get through my Costa Rica pictures from my trip earlier this month.

While most of my images are toned, I am more or less trying to get an edit together before throwing them up.

So I will probably be putting some outtakes up over on my blog between now and whenever I decide to get through the edit and post the rest.

Lovely light and fun subject shooting for our rodeo review a week or so ago. Wasn’t a big fan of this one but Ashley and Patrick seemed to like it.

Today I had about five hours to burn in between assignments . I heard about this Foam Day event in Lehi (the one Lance Booth, our former intern, slayed last year), so I figured I’d take initiative and venture over to make some more art for the paper.

Well, I still smell like soap, my eyes are red and burning, surprised my phone still works, wallet is soaked, ruined a perfectly good note pad, shoes, socks and clothes drenched, and on top of that, had no idea what I was shooting (or seeing out of my own eyes for that matter).

But I had a blast.

“Flaggers are like the public relations department of a worksite,” Hilton explained. “We’re the first people you see and we make an impression.”

“People in cars are like sheep,” Hilton said. “If one car goes down one way, all the other cars will follow until we tell them to stop.”

This year, I’ve been more interested in the pre-ride rodeo rituals than the actual ride. These are two shots from tonight at the Kamas Fiesta Days Rodeo. The second one is another take on the pre-ride prayer photo, somewhat similar to one I threw on here a few months ago.

Today, I was given fairly minute, obvious advice by a subject who has turned out to be one of the most inspirational folk I’ve met in Utah to date.

He said, “I try to vision every where I go, whether I’ve been there or not, be it this very road I drive every day, as new and fresh, as I’ve never been there before.”

What great advice. Sure, I’ve probably thought that before, but never practiced the saying.

The gentleman that said the above is my current story subject. Full of wisdom and is a incredible artist – more on him to come.

With that, I had been Antelope Island State Park before, but never floated. So it was all fresh. I cannot wait to go back and shoot some more at a later date.

Not many people out, but the sunset was amazing, and I liked the above and this frame.

Sometimes I love being from Bountiful.
