the things in the boxes that live in my closets /
I moved houses this last week. I have been going through all of my things and tossing out what I don't need/want and a big portion of those things have been images. I have boxes and boxes of negatives, contact sheets, pictures, school assignments, crap and more crap. It has been a fun process going through them all and observing scholastic progression through the images and reflecting on the 'old days'. I have been really missing film and the grueling process of it... but not really.
This is the first polaroid I shot with my Mamiya 645.
PS I have been trying to sell it for a while if anyone is interested.
Polaroids from Art Center assignments
Charlotte and Sabine
The beloved Holga!
I shot this top image on a drive from Utah to LA with Lou.
Remember this Lou?
I used to cut up my contact sheets and place the mini images
in little hand-made books and draw on them, this little guy was a straggler at the
bottom of a box, I almost threw him away.
Sundance Utah
Polaroid!
Joshua Tree
Camping with Kelly
Sweetheart Bear
This lovable giant of my dads passed away not too long ago.
We miss you Bear!
That was fun.
Sweet finds /
ooops... scanned sideways... to lazy to fix it.
Ryan and I took a stroll through the "antique" stores in downtown Provo yesterday. Just like most everyone of you I love antiques, the surviving mementos and gateways to the past. Anyway, we found a box of old post cards at Cats Cradle on Center St. and after sifting over hundreds of old cards these are the ones that caught my eye and I had to get them. I wanted to share some of them with you.
Unfortunately the greetings written in the back are pretty mundane and not worth scanning and exploiting. I was hoping for sweet, sappy love notes from old lovers, maybe next time.
The top two are my favorite...
I think I am going to print them out on card card stock and use them for myself.

Max pretending to help but really just getting in the way
So,
I am sad to say that I am moving out of my fantastic little house on 9th. To be honest I am heart broken. Damn sentimentality... I photographed the light that came into the house, It is always so peaceful to me. I don't want to dwell on this anymore, change is good and exciting and I need to remember that when I am hurting.
Gymnastic-fantastic /
shoot with Andersen Studios.
American Gymnatics
Cutie little girls right?
on my way out the door /
happy saturday!
Thanksgiving Point Gardens /
I photographed with Anderson Productions this morning. Here are some of the shots.
I need to lay off the light flares right?
Ah, oh well.
Blessed /
I feel very blessed.
Reasons:
1. today for work I did three things I love at once, taking photographs, swim and chill with my dog
2. because Claire is awesome and always says the right things at the right time all the time
3. I ate a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich and an otter-pop for breakfast

Me and Max...
Thank you Ryan for letting me use you for your merman physique and for wrangling a stinky, belchy, wet dog in the pool. I owe you big time.
I am really starting to like these images the more I look at them. While shooting I was really nervous that they weren't going to turn out from the lack of cooperation from my dog and the lack of pool visibility... but now that all is said and done I am happy with them just as they are.
missing school /
Last night I was up late looking over my old school notebooks
I just felt like sharing a little of what my notes looked like.
Good thing I didn't go to a conventional school or I would still be there.

I feel like I have been sucked dry from all creativity. Like my brain has been turned to commercial mush... no not even commercial mush... to nothing. I need to retreat to somewhere new for a while and figure out what I want to say again cause there is nothing to be said here.
someone please....
For Your Health /
I have been obsessed with this stuff.

I am coming out to visit you soon.

picture taking like Arbus

Be excited.
For Salime /
coming your way...
Sorry for the delay.
I love you
Salt flats /
a few evenings ago I photographed this couple at the Salt Flats. He formally proposed with the ring there, so the images above were real, she hadn't seen the ring before that moment... way cool!
Cold war kids /
Sneak Peekin' on Rachel and Kyu's Wedding /
Here are a few images from yesterdays wedding with Rachel and Kyu.
I will post more later this week.
Thank You Steph.... /
For being so beautiful and sweet.
Yesterday I photographed Stephanie Dunn, she really is such a sweetheart. My pictures don't do this girl justice.
Here is Baby-Kitty... (thanks Marnie for letting use him). Baby-Kitty really was the tenderest thing, he was such a snuggley kitty and loved being right next to us as if he were ours.
While I was shooting I was thinking to myself that I wish I could go back to me 7 year old self and tell me that I would be photographing kitties for work as an adult, I would have been stoked... I am stoked now. he he...
Here he is again. He seriously has been hanging outside of my house just waiting for me to come out. I didn't mind at first but he has started to get aggressive/possessive and it wasn't so cute.
