I had the good fortune of spending Saturday with two of my four beautiful Sisters and one of my amazing Nephews. We walked around City Creek and a few other places and these are some of the things I saw.

Most of the leaves have fallen off the trees and resting on the ground where they’re getting all wet from the storms. As a good friend of ours once said, “there is beauty in death”
I went to the Harmon’s Grocery Store near our home with my spousal unit to purchase food of an edible variety. I decided to take my 60mm Lensball with me to try and photograph some of the fruits and vegetables. I didn’t take my big camera with me, instead, I […]
I’ve been asked, “Why fire hydrants?”. To answer that, I’ll mention my friend, Les Oswald. Les is an artist, photographer and videographer; and I’ve known Les since January, 1979. Les started a photo album on FaceBook with this statement and question: “Fire hydrants: always there, always ready. But are they […]
I attended a three-day training conference last week that was held at the Salt Palace in Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. The conference was very good and worth what it cost my employer for my ticket (very reasonably priced). In addition to all the training sessions, there were presentations being […]
I was introduced to the idea of taking photos through vegetable oil in water, a glass ball and other glass objects. As a result, I have been having fun playing with these transparent objects that refract and distort what is seen through them. Part of the fun is going to […]
The last time I was at Hurlburt Field in Florida I was able to capture a few photos of the aircraft that are on display there.
Sometimes, you just find yourself doing it anyway. I was walking home from TRAX on my usual path and noticed these interesting clouds hanging low on the horizon with a clear blue sky above. The next thought that came to mind was, “I should stop and take a photo of […]
So there I was, riding home on TRAX a little later in the day than usual and listening to an audiobook (A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles; great book, by the way) when I decided to look out the window towards the mountains in the East. The sun was […]
I have made four separate attempts to learn to play the guitar. The first attempt was while I was in High School. The most recent attempt was about ten years ago. All of my attempts have failed. Why, you ask? Because I don’t like practicing and I wasn’t really committed […]
My Son, Skyler had given me a camera in May, 2011 as repayment for a debt. I readily accepted this form of payment and started learning how to use the camera (a Nikon D80). While learning how to use it, I started noticing things around me that I had previously […]
I had planned on getting to work no earlier than 7:38 this morning; but I got a text message from one of my guys that he was sick and wouldn’t be able to be at work. His shift starts at 6:00am and I got the message at 5:11am. I hurried […]
My Son, Skyler texted me this morning to tell me how cool he thought the crescent moon looked as it came up over the horizon. What he liked about it was how the crescent was positioned. I went out to look at it and, sure enough, it looked pretty cool. […]
I was walking down main street, minding my own business when this scene grabbed my attention and asked me to capture it with my camera; so I did. And here is why I was there at that place at that point in time: A few years ago, I earned my […]
The LiveDaybreak.com folks sponsor a monthly car show on SoDa Row during the summer months. I was home alone while this one was going on, so I decided to walk over and see if there was anything worth capturing. There was! My favorite vehicle at this particular car show was […]
