Driving Isaac to school - Fuji FP-100B

On the way to taking Isaac to school.

I'm teaching at UVU come January

*this was my professor, John Telford, at BYU and I'm on the bottom line, 3rd from the right.

I will be teaching a wedding class at Utah Valley University this Jan. I am not really sure what the actual name of the class is called but, I'm calling it boot camp :). Its going to be uber intense and pretty much pass/fail. If you are a UVU BFA photography student and want to get into this class knowing full well that it will literally kick your butt (its totally full to my knowledge), talk to Travis Lovell and he might, just might, be able to hook you up.

I truly, truly enjoy teaching and sharing what I love, photography. Did you know my dream job would be to teach photography here? Somebody make it happen :).

Checking the light - Fuji FP-100B

Checking the lighting setup at a recent commercial shoot for a local startup. This was shot on my Fuji GX680 which obviously, is not full frame on the instant film.

Bahar & Thomas - 9.9.2009 - Las Vegas NV

This is supposed to go up on Saturday, but sorry, I can't wait :). I LOVE this wedding...

This was a small, intimate, destination wedding held at the Wynn with a dinner for their friends and family at the Encore. Then followed by some blackjack after wards.

A big thank you to Bahar & Thomas for having me out to your awesome wedding. And a bigger thank you to Kristopher for helping out.

PS. this whole wedding was developed and masterfully scanned by Richard Photo Lab in LA. AMAZING.

Dallas Ft Worth - Fuji FP-100B

Taken during my 9 hours in Dallas :).

Sonoma/Napa - Fuji FP-100B

I just got another case of this film (yeah, 600 sheets) and also picked up some FP-3000B to shoot at night (ISO 3000!!!). So expect a lot more posts of this stuff :)

Isaac's white on white - Fuji FP-100B

My Twins - Fuji FP-100B

That would be their Lola's bike they are riding on...

SLC International Airport - A week ago today - Fuji FP-100B

Last week on Monday I went up to SLC to go catch a flight to DFW. Only to turn back around and fly right back as our son had a little visit to Primary Children's Hospital with a case of RSV (he's home now and ok).

Everyone was looking at me a little suspiciously while I was shooting with my new toy. I heart this camera, but I heart Fuji FP-100B even more.

Brian & Eileen - 9.6.2009 - Santa Barbara CA - Richard Photo Lab

I was extremely flattered when Brian asked me to photograph his wedding. Brian is the owner of Richard Photo Lab in LA, which in my opinion, is the best lab in the US if not the world. The pressure was on as I know that all the film (even the deletes) would be seen by him and the whole crew of folks who attended this wedding who work at Richard Photo Lab as well. Brian surprised me at my last workshop out in Park City with a box full of proofs from all the images. This is before ANY edits. I was so nervous as all of the attendees were there and I NEVER show unedited work, EVER. To my surprise, everything (even files I ended up deleting) looked so great in print. There is something to say about having an actual print as opposed to looking at a file on a computer screen. The color, contrast, saturation, everything straight out of camera and from their scans was seriously mind-blowing. If you shoot film all the time, some of the time, or every once in a blue moon, I can not recommend more sending your film to Richard Photo Lab to be processed and scanned. I have taken a couple tours of their facility and it is absolutely amazing what they do to keep film alive. They make shooting film so easy. Shoot, send it off to them and that is it. There is no hours sitting behind a computer to make the images look good. They look good as is and I love that. So here's to Richard Photo Lab.
