shooting the winders

yes, we're supposed to be in india right now. but we're not, yet. so, yesterday we went for a photo shoot up on the bonneville shoreline trail with our friends, tiffany and greg winder.

we had a great time. it was nice to be out. weather was perfect. company fabulous. pictures fun. here are a few of mine that i liked. they're not as good as steve's, but it's fun anyway. i haven't learned how to edit them on photoshop to not wash out the colors when i put them on the web, so the colors are a bit off, but otherwise....





and the night ended well with some good eats at zupas. just a note, zupas does have free wireless. go there, it's great (even though they don't make that yummy paninni with the strawberries and nutella anymore).

keep an eye out for some of steve's shots to show up on his photo blog.

Who is your boss?

Okay, I liked this so much, I had to post when I should be working. If you think your boss is bad, check this out here.

This is the Tiny Art Director. If you didn't click the link above, I'll put in a picture here, so then you will. This is just one example.

The Brief: A giraffe and a kangaroo fighting over an apple
The Critique: Where's the dinosaur?! Draw me a dinosaur right now Daddy!
Job Status: Rejected
Artists Comments: After completing the project I documented the art director's instructions and reaction. She took offense at this and tried to erase my notes.
When I took away my eraser, she yelled "I don't like your notes!", and scribbled all over them with my pencil. She then ran to the bathroom and ran water over the piece of paper. "Look at them now Daddy!"

If we weren't leaving the country so soon, I would buy this for everyone for Christmas or something. You should buy this book. Erin Davis, you will love this.

I got the tip about this blog from the Burns Auto Parts blog.

a photo i like

i subscribe to lots of blogs and specifically many photo related blogs. this guy, david nightingale, daily uploads some amazing images. this one, from his blog a couple of days ago, really hit the beauty button inside of me. so, i share. enjoy.

note, erin, i tried to add the picture directly to the page, but it won't work. anyway, this is the link again, click right here.

better than my video

Found this on A Photo Editor. Figured you guys might like this. The photographer is Eyal Landesman.

camera fun

So, my camera is fun to play with. Here is a slideshow of Keene playing in the snow. It's really just a good chance for me to test out the drive speed of the camera.

I like my camera. And my dog. And the snow. Overall, it's a good day.

my first kinda cool photo

now i know you've all been holding your breath to see the first real photo from my new camera. well, exhale and inhale, because here it is. in canon color!
now, i have to admit, steve helped out with the photoshop adjustments. we just did some sharpening, contrast adjustments, etc. anyway, that's steve working his magic on the ice of bridal veil up provo canyon.

i'll try to get one photo up a day. we'll see how well that goes. it takes me forever to do all the post production stuff, but i'm hoping i'll get quicker soon. anyway, enjoy. and always feel free to give critiques or advice on my shots. i have a lot to learn still, so i'm open to instruction for sure.
