Every once in a while, I'll use one of my brother's pictures on my blog or for something at school. Since he's just graduated from law school, naturally, he threatens to sue me. And since I'm stronger than him, I threaten to beat him up.
In an effort to make reparations, I figured I might as well tell a little bit about a few photos I've actually shot. A couple people have asked about the photos in my header. So, the following are mine rather than others that I've borrowed over the years.
The "city on a hill" next to the ocean. This is Vernazza, Italy- one of the five cities that make up "Cinque Terre" on the Mediterranean Sea. I took the picture after visiting the cities on my trip to Europe in 2004.
This water tower is on top of the Ford Building in SLC, home to Richter7, Bysis, AgencyFusion, and the Union Pacific guys.
The picture of the wheat field is along the Alpine Loop on the back side of Mount Timponogos, UT. If i remember right, it was Cascade Springs...about two years after a boy scout burned the place to the ground.
A Seattle skyline near Pike's Market on the way to Grant's Island near Ketchikan, Alaska in 2003.
And finally, this lamp and stone tower is part of "Le Palais de l'Isle" (a prison in the 11th century where you can still visit the dungeon) in the middle of the Thiou river in Annecy, France.
So that's all for today. If you want to see some of the best photography ever, check out my nephew Noah's photo blog. He's pretty much the coolest kid on the planet. Jake took the photos, but they're still good. |

Delta, UT --
I like big cities, but I've always been interested in small towns, too (Annecy, Zermatt, Chamonix, Vernazza, Gex, Sion, Jackson Hole...Delta). When I was all excited to make the trip to Delta and even more excited once we arrrived, Nate was pretty puzzled. Memorial Day weekend, I ran into a cousin of mine who lives in San Deigo. He's in town directing a movie (Parade) due out in 2007 and needed a DJ for one of the scenes. I was happy to take a break from work and make the trip down to Millard County.
Delta has a 7-Eleven, a rodeo, and a Deseret Industries. Admittedly, it doesn't sound like the most exciting town in the country, but I know of at least one thing that might change your mind.
I saw some Indians (feathers, not dots). Since my friend Calvert in junior high, I've always wished we had more Native Americans in Davis County. They're friendly and generally wise. And I always feel less threatened by drought when they're around.
If that wasn't great enough, the Delta DI is probably one of the best in the state. They had a nice brown jacket, a Nat King Cole compact music disc (no scratches), and a very cool old book.
After spending some time at the DI, we had roughly four hours until the film crew showed up so Nate and I threw the football, and I read the introduction to Freakonomics- which I really think I'm going to like.
At about 8PM, we set up the equipment and started filming around 9. We were done by 11, back on the road by 12, and I was back in bed by 3AM.
The Main Events:
"D" is for Delta. After 2 1/2 hours, we arrive.
Wearing my new DI brown jacket, we visit the "Cosmic Ray Center." The cosmic ray center is mostly just an empty building. But it sounds cool. They store aliens and guns in the basement. And probably some cans of powdered milk.
Battle wound. If you're going to drive a trailer with your tailgate down, it's best not to turn.
And finally, "Action."
