    I wrote last night’s post in the middle of working last minute on a project (magazine layout) due this morning. So I proceed to go to class and participate in the critique, with those words still on my mind, the question of what I’ve made of myself and what I’ve done with the time I’ve…

    How appropriate of a blog title as I fudge and pretend like I live in California (as Emily can attest). I just thought I’d share an idea / principle that I picked up in church today. It was paraphrased, I think, but I’ll share the original quote. Mr. Conrad N. Hilton of the Hilton Hotel…

    HAMLET: Then is doomsday near: but your news is not true. Let me question more in particular: what have you, my good friends, deserved at the hands of fortune, that she sends you to prison hither? GUILDENSTERN: Prison, my lord! HAMLET: Denmark’s a prison. ROSENCRANTZ: Then is the world one. HAMLET: A goodly one; in…

    So Dan’s iPod Classic recently ate it. Just stopped charging. As I have an identical iPod, I decided to order a replacement battery for his (and for my older 5.5 generation iPod), and see if the battery is the problem (because if it is, it’s relatively inexpensive to fix. If it’s the logic board, it’s…

    It’s been kind of a busy day. I wish I could curl up and doze, though maybe not on the Wii fit with Wii controllers. It’s just too adorable his paws are crossed like that. (Taken exactly 2 months ago.) 35mm, f/1.8, 1/100, ISO 800.

    Just a brief entry for today. Someone made a reference to this scripture earlier today so I thought I’d make it my post. Matthew 10: 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head…

    So cousin-in-law Emily tells me November is blogging month (never heard of it, but hey– who needs an excuse to be more diligent at blogging, right?) So, I’ve already slacked a few days since I learned this. But hey… maybe I could make it through 2/3 of the month with *some* semblance of a post…

    Several months ago, Kelton saw Shawn up on the stand at church in a suit and with a beard. He said “Dude, your bro just needs a top hat and he’s Abe Lincoln”. So Shawn decided to be Abe for Halloween this year. The costume was too good to not do a quick photoshoot. I…

    I forgot that I had these paper mache theater-type masks that I bought a few months ago for a photo idea. I remembered them and today and thought perhaps I’d use them for Halloween… so instead of people taking turns going to the door every time kids came, I donned the hooded robe with this…

    This one was taken on October 18 as well, over on that branch of Wasatch that curves over to Little Cottonwood Canyon.

    I wrote a post the other day and didn’t post it, doh. Kato and I did some driving around today because the weather was perfect (partly cloudy and about 80) and the fall colors will likely disappear soon. This one was from up just south of Milcreek Canyon– we were just kind of wandering through…

    Parking lot at work… September 17, 2009 – 8:03pm 35mm – f/7 – ISO 100 for 5 seconds. I had just missed the sunset this evening, but I had my camera so I decided to capture what was left of it, first by pointing the camera towards the west. Much more interesting, though, was when…

    beach @ Capitola, Santa Cruz — July 31, 2009. The fun part about photographing this was that this was the first time Dan had been to the beach since we were kids (I was probably 12 or 13 when we went on those family trips to Laguna Beach, which means Dan was probably 10 at…

    I like how this came out sorta portrait-like. Another shot from Lane & Kim’s wedding day– I love having excuses to be camera happy. 😉

    I took these at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building downtown before and during Land & Kim’s wedding luncheon. Look at this first shot— Addie totally posed for it. It makes me wonder how it affects kids today to be in front of the camera so much. I mean from day one she’s had adoring parents,…
