  • Early Cold Saturday Morning

    Early Cold Saturday Morning

    I awoke bright and early this morning with photographic intent. I’m usually an early riser, but with the purpose of beginning my work day. Finally, I have a morning when I can escape the schedule and sit in the dark and wait for the sun to show it’s beautiful face. I left with plenty of…

  • Monochrome Self Portraits

    Monochrome Self Portraits

    I was stuck working in Pocatello this week. Once again I found myself killing time in a lonely hotel room, so naturally, I got out the camera to play. I’m a member of a Facebook and Google+ photography assignment group, and last week’s assignment was a self portrait. I was thinking about how I would…

  • Gentle Fall

    Gentle Fall

    My camera has the capability of making some really beautiful video as well as still images. In order to use the footage though, it usually takes a different set of skills and for me, a lot of time to put together a great finished product. As a result, I don’t often take the time to…

  • Birds of Prey Flight Demonstrations

    Birds of Prey Flight Demonstrations

    My daughter had been given a family pass to the Birds of Prey Flight Demonstration as part of a previous field trip with her school, so we went on Sunday. It was so cool. The birds were big, beautiful and amazing to watch. The show was very educational and entertaining. Here are a few shots.…

  • A Fall Day At The Boise Zoo

    A Fall Day At The Boise Zoo

    We had a nice family outing to the Boise Zoo on Saturday. The weather turned out to be perfect. A little bit overcast, so it wasn’t too hot, and it wasn’t too cool either. Most of the animals were out to play or be stared at and the kids and adults all had a wonderful…

  • Short Trip To Salt Lake City

    Short Trip To Salt Lake City

    I flew down to Salt Lake City on Monday morning for some training and to take a few more company photos. A direct flight would have been quick and easy, but as it turns out, a direct flight costs about $500 more than the long way. I stopped in the Denver airport for a few…

  • I Survived CreationFest Northwest 2013

    I Survived CreationFest Northwest 2013

    My heart is very full after this incredible week. I attended the CreationFest Northwest 2013 as a photographer for NewReleaseTuesday.com and had an amazing time. I knew Kevin, the founder of the site going in, but I hadn’t met any of the other 7 members of the team beforehand. After spending the last 6 days…

  • Fourth of July 2013

    Fourth of July 2013

    Independence Day is one of my favorites. Summer fun packed into one full day, ending with fireworks. This 4th, we spent the afternoon at Arrowrock Reservoir, had some barbecue to celebrate my mom-in-law’s birthday, then watched the neighbor blow up their money. 🙂 The water was perfect out at Arrowrock and we swam, ate and…

    Doing Church In Atlanta Idaho

    I have some really great family. Both the family I was born into, and the one I married into are full of loving, talented and unique individuals. This weekend specifically was a great reminder of the beautiful family that I married into. Atlanta, Idaho is a tiny mining town nestled in the shadow of the…

  • Hunt For The Red Wing Black Bird

    Hunt For The Red Wing Black Bird

    If you recall one of my previous posts, my daughter has been recently studying the Red Wing Black Bird in kindergarten. She has been really excited about seeing them around town and I knew of a park out toward Kuna with a good group of cat tails we could look for them around. So we…

    Camping at Edna Creek for Memorial Day

    My wife had a class to go to on Saturday, but I really wanted to get out and go camping. So I packed the kids into the car and headed off into the woods for a short, one night, camping trip. We joined my parents and some friends and the weather was nearly perfect. The…
