It's called light painting. Pretty cool, eh? This image was taken at 10:00 at night using an ISO 100, 30 second exposure, and 4.5 apature. During that 30 seconds, I'm running aroung shining my flashlight on different parts of the building. I wonder what the neighbors thought. Probably thought I was crazy... but who cares... it really makes the building glow.

G is for glow.

Two things about my dad that affected my youth: He worked away from home most of the time and he wouldn't have anything to do with church. So, often, when I needed some extra help that required a father's touch, church related or otherwise, I went to my Uncle Bob. When it was time to build a pinewood derby car... Uncle Bob. Time to get baptized... Uncle Bob. Need bailed out of jail at 2 in the morning... well, my dad was home that time, so I called him, but if he'd been working out of town that night, I'd have called Uncle Bob. Though he was born my dad's older brother, he has always been like a father to me.

F is for fathers.

Nick LaSalle's friends all call him "Sally." Watching him on his bike brings all kinds of "E" words to mind; exciting... energetic... endangered species. He told me he wants to keep jumping higher - he's saving his money so he can buy a 40 foot ramp. A 40 foot ramp... where does a 16 year old kid put a 40 foot ramp? And why does he want a 40 foot ramp? So he can do one thing. Elevate.

E is for elevate.

The best Sundays for me usually include at least one of three things; sleeping in, snapping photos or taking the Jeep out for a spin. The great thing about having a Jeep is taking the top off and seeing the whole world as it passes. A roof on your car boxes you in; a Jeep without a top lets you see and smell and feel the whole world. And sometimes Maren comes with me. And sometimes I get to take pictures. I love it when we go for a Sunday drive.


D is for drive.

It was 104 in Salt Lake today. But what's great about living in Salt Lake is that a 30 minute drive can take you up a canyon to a quiet spot and 80 degree weather. Add a group of good friends, a bag of hot dogs and a cold beverage, and you've pretty much described the perfect summer night. Oh, and don't forget the campfire.


C is for campfire.

Yellowstone

Last weekend we were in Yellowstone. These were taken in Norris Geyser Basin.

If you're ever travelling through West Yellowstone, Montana, be sure to stop in and pull up a seat at the soda fountain in Eagle's Store. The bar has been there for a hundred years - the sodas are fresh.

B is for Barstools.
