WEEK THIRTY TWO:

Monday, March 22
Mmm...


Tuesday, March 23
This didn't turn out quite like I had imagined, but it was a decent first attempt. I'm not afraid to admit that I need to sharpen my Photoshop skills a bit. I've spent so many years trying to take photographs that didn't need to be digitally altered, that I've neglected the possibility that some images can be taken with photo manipulation in mind.


Wednesday, March 24
I love this. It cracks me up and I think it's some pretty genius vandalism. Almost as good as the time someone added an "F," to every place in the art building that said: "Art Department." I only hope my future BFA degree will be worth more than this person believes it to be worth.


Thursday, March 25
I swear the printmaking studio is a magical place. I feel more artistically inspired there than anywhere else. I see things differently. I think things differently. It's awesome.
This image is beautiful in its simplicity and at the same time, it somehow seems very complex. The best part, is all it is is the paper covering the table the prints are inked on. It's just ink mess left behind from making a print, but really, it could be a print of its own.


Friday, March 26
Rollerskating. It has been soo long since Hallie and I slipped on a pair of skates and hit the rink. Next time I hope it doesn't take as long for us to do it again.


Saturday, March 27
Lately I feel like I've been "off," with my daily photo. I've had a lot going on and unfortunately, my daily photo has taken a backseat, but I'm trying to do better...really.


Sunday, March 28
Patterns and perspective.

WEEK THIRTY ONE:

Monday, March 15
Doesn't this light post look like it's growing hair?


Tuesday, March 16
Swim class.
Cambria LOVES swimming and always has. In her class right now she is the only kid who will go under water without freaking out. We're oh so proud of her.


Wednesday, March 17
Truck (green for St. Patty's Day).


Thursday, March 18


Friday, March 19
Wing night at the Wilkins! Some wings, some Freaks and Geeks. What could be better?


Saturday, March 20
I've been watching lately for patters/designs and one of my major goals with this (365) project is to look for photographs in my everyday life, in things that are commonly around me. This is from my laptop case.


Sunday, March 21
More pattern.

WEEK THIRTY:

Monday, March 8
It is finally starting to look like winter's on it's last foot here in Logan.


Tuesday, March 9
Almost all of my day on Tuesday and into the night, was spent in the print studio (and most of my week for that matter). This is really all my brain had power to conceive after my numerous printing hours.


Wednesday, March 10
Due to my schedule restraints, it feels like my outside shots are all confined to nighttime lately.


Thursday, March 11
Baking with mom.


Friday, March 12
We journeyed to St. George for the weekend to get away from the cold and have a break. We arrived on Friday afternoon and enjoyed what little sunshine was left of the day before the storm came and ruined our warm weather.
St. George LDS Temple. Huge.


Saturday, March 13
See those big, dark, ominous clouds in the back? Those attacked us about an hour or so after this shot was taken.
Love this hat. This belonged to Hallie's co-worker, Chelsea's boyfriend, Jared. Classic.
On a side note, I didn't take my D300 on the trip, so I was stuck without much manual control on my Nikon Coolpix camera, which was very frustrating and exhibited in the focus points on this image.


Sunday, March 14
Ah, In & Out. So good. Nothing like a good meal to send us home the right way.

Sunday, March 7, 2010

WEEK TWENTY NINE:


Monday, March 2
That's right folks, she WANTS YOU!


Tuesday, March 2
I love printmaking. It is my new artistic love. But I hate that I can never get my hands fully clean. And in spite of all the black in the corners on my nails, this image shows my hand much cleaner than usual after a day and night of printing.


Wednesday, March 3
Mmm...my wife makes the best chicken tortilla soup known to mankind. Really. It is amazing.


Thursday, March 4
After the week I had with our condo flooding, haggling with insurance companies and other fun things, when I saw this up on campus, I wanted to push it and ask for some help of my own.


Friday, March 5
Man, we've been hitting the jackpot lately with fortune cookies! Now I am just wondering when these darn fortunes are going happen.


Saturday, March 6
A few weeks ago around seven or eight at night, I was driving through a neighborhood and saw some dudes in huge winter coats standing in front of a grill and bbq-ing. It was pretty awesome. So on Saturday, I did a little winter bbq-ing of my own.


Sunday, March 7
This is a small glimpse into what it looks like at our home after dinner and before bath and bed.

WEEK TWENTY EIGHT:


Monday, February 22
The "Toaster."

Tuesday, February 23
Two paths.

Wednesday, February 24
The next print. Sketching it out.

Thursday, February 25
Lately, this one begs to be wrapped up tight in blankets and then she just sits there and smiles and giggles.


Friday, February 26
"Oooohhh!" That's what this sounds like.

Saturday, February 27
As lame as it sounds, it warms my heart every time I look at our shoe tray and see Cambria's little shoes next to ours. It puts a smile on my face.

Sunday, February 28
Sushi!
Our friend Mike, a sushi artist, if you will, created a 1,000 piece sushi masterpiece and it was amazing. I didn't keep track of how much I had, but it was more than I've ever had in one sitting before that's for sure. Thanks Mike. I can't wait for next time.

WEEK TWENTY SEVEN:


Monday, February 15
You notice funny things after spending enough time in places like the print studio where there is large, expensive equipment.
This warning sticker made me laugh. Apparently it's not a good idea to run your arm through the press.


Tuesday, February 16
Ever since fall took away the lush green vines on the side of the University Inn, I've been eyeing this shot. I love the lines and the patterns and shapes they create. I plan to get another shot of this when they are green again.


Wednesday, February 17
I caught this on the fly as I was being chased down the hallway. I held the camera out to my side, held the button until it was focused (on anything) and snapped it. I love the spontaneity of it. It really captured the excitement of the moment. The little one on her rampage. Is it too much to ask to have her stay small forever?


Thursday, February 18
A semi-detailed shot of an old door (as if you couldn't figure that out for yourself, right?


Friday, February 19
Any who live in Logan have probably noticed this worn down house and/or office at the intersection of by where the old Macey's used to be. I love it, even if it is an eyesore. The windows are painted a vibrant blue and I think it looks fantastic. But only through a camera lens I suppose.


Saturday, February 20
I can't believe that I haven't gotten this shot until now to be honest with you. I drive by the old rink several times a week and wish it was still serving Logan's finest rollerskaters, but alas, it is not. Hallie and I dream about buying it and reopening it as a rink/concert venue. It's fun to dream.


Sunday, February 21
Another shot of the main sign of the old Logan rink. It was a beautiful place to skate indeed.
RIP.

WEEK TWENTY SIX:

Monday, February 8
Finally! A fortune that I could use! I hope by "happy events," it is referring to money!

Tuesday, February 9
A reminder of warmer times. Hello warm spring and summer days-I hope to see you again soon.


Wednesday, February 10
A lone ice sickle cluster.


Thursday, February 11
My current printmaking project, Lighter Than Air.

Friday, February 12
While serving a mission in Kentucky, I fell in love with this restaurant and their amazing wings and epic selection of sauces for them. I was sad to come back to a home where I couldn't partake of these blessed wings anymore. However, whenever I go to Vegas or Denver, I'm able to quench my taste buds. The last few years they've done all-you-can-eat wings for lunch for $9.99–until this last Monday that is. When I tried to order my wondrous all-you-can-eat lunch, I was told this heinous news. Needless to say, it didn't make my day. I was rather perturbed. And still am.



Saturday, February 13
I was able to shoot my cousin Beth's wedding in Denver, CO on Saturday. Here is a shot of the temple her and her husband were married in. I LOVE the light, thin clouds and the beautiful blue sky in this shot.

Sunday, February 14
Happy Valentine's Day!


Sunday, February 7, 2010

WEEK TWENTY FIVE:


Monday, February 1
A glorious start to the month of February! One of the first blue-skied days in weeks! It was such a relief to look up and see a color besides gray.

Tuesday, February 2
A section of a garage right behind where I wait for the bus to campus.


Wednesday, February 3
Cambria is a pretty big fan of the double nose pick. What else can I say? For now, it cracks me up.

Thursday, February 4
A hazy day with spots of blue sky throughout the day. I felt the haze was best portrayed with this black and white, grainy shot.

Friday, February 5
I took this shot for a project I'm going to be working on in my typography class. Inspired by Rancid's "Let the Dominoes Fall."

Saturday, February 6
Not much of an exciting day. The weather was gloomy as it has been except for a few days out of the last several weeks. But I tried to make the most out of it all with this wet, cold picture.

Sunday, February 7
Super Bowl Sunday wasn't so sweet this year. Despite plans to go to some friends' house and eat lots of awesome food, have some good company and root for a team I don't really care about, we stayed home with our little one who was sick. I guess that's what being a parent is all about, right? In the end, I really enjoyed being able to spend an entire day together, as a family, without any interruptions.

And thank the heavens above the sun was shining and that there was blue sky!
