an explanation

2010-02-25T12:02:00.004-07:00

my reason for not posting for far too long: a broken arm from skiing followed by brutal surgery followed by a long (and still on-going) rehab process.

2010-01-14T14:28:00.003-07:00

wednesday night was a women's basketball game at the marriott center. the outdoor photo was taken twenty-five minutes before the game. the indoor photo--ten minutes before game time. next week i'll be photographing the men's basketball game and will be taking the same photographs at the same time to see the difference.

a group of friends and i hiked the Y a couple weeks ago--i needed to do it for an assignment for the daily universe. this was one of my favorites. sadly, when i post these, they lose some of their quality. if anyone wants to see higher quality, you'll have to bug me.

down with light pollution

2009-05-30T16:03:00.002-06:00

island park, idaho. i had to crop this a bit because of a security light that kept going on and off during the half hour that the shutter was open. a decent first attempt at a star trail shot i guess.

thanks camera checkout

2009-05-15T15:14:00.003-06:00

a benefit of working for the daily universe is i have access to their camera checkout. this weekend i get to hike the Y for a photo shoot. i'll most likely be going saturday afternoon/evening (anyone who wants to come is invited and you will most likely be in the newspaper on monday). i checked out a fish-eye lens to get some WIDE-angle shots. . .here are some samples. . .
