    My cousin Lane got married one week ago on August 20, 2009, and I just wanted to congratulate him, along with his bride Kimberly. Lots more photos to polish and post later, but I loved how this one turned out, so I thought I’d post it. I watched as the hired photographer snapped away with…

    As Jesse says, “so wane the days of summer”. Going through some of the pics from the Santa Cruz trip tonight, once again staying up late stubbornly when I should be sleeping. First day of class tomorrow for what is likely to be my last fall semester (not that I’ve been going to school for…

    A still-life shot from that wedding. Originally didn’t think it was that interesting, but I dunno… I like it. I was stressed enough that day that I don’t think I fully appreciated this little table setting… look at the geometric, hard, smooth, shiny surface of those candles compared to how organic that pot and flowers…

    Been editing a zillion photos from a wedding Kato and I shot a while back (yes, we’re amateurs, and yes, we’re insane), took a break to monkey with some textures and what not in photoshop. =D

    I recently put a new machine together primarily to better facilitate photo processing. I have an external hard drive that I store all my photos on, and well… using a laptop for my main computer for the last 3 years, it’s not usually convenient to hook an external drive up to it, so photos get…

    Whoah. It’s been almost a month since I posted. I took this picture over a month ago… It’s rained a lot in Utah the last few weeks, and for some reason when it rains a lot I don’t feel inspired to take pictures (although I have to admit to wishing I’d had a good vantage…

    I’m sure there will be a plethora of Addie b-day photos coming on various sloanie blogs and facebook profiles, but here’s a couple that I captured yesterday as we celebrated Addie’s first birthday on Memorial Day. Hard to believe she’s been around for a year now… This might be my favorite image from the night,…

    Have you ever prayed for humility only to realize that’s why you have weaknesses? Despite my failures, short-comings and weaknesses, I’m grateful for my life— and for the privilege of being able to try again and again.

    I always feel like I have to have an image when I post. This is of a 30″ figure of Batman that was given to me for Christmas of 2008. He resides in my cube at work– a silent guardian, a watchful protector (why haven’t I watched that movie again since it came out on…

    A couple pictures for the day. Taken back in mid-March at Este’s when we were there for Kato’s birthday dinner. Addie turns 1 here in just a few weeks! Where does the time go? She’s already grown so much. I love how wild her hair is in this picture– it was like this for months…

    I’m in the middle of finishing some final projects, but this one made me laugh so I thought I’d share. First off, I love this place– Teriyaki Grill. I wish the one in Draper were still in business because it’d be within reasonable driving distance from work. It is the best fast food I’ve ever…

    This was an exercise in salvaging an uninteresting photo to try to add some interest. Not amazing, but better than it was before 😉 I scanned back through the last year’s worth of blog entries the other day and realized that, for a change of pace, I was actually pretty good about posting semi-frequently, even…

    Alright, I had to post these before March is too far gone. Sunday morning I shaved my beard into a foo and wore it to church. Talk about setting your dignity aside, hah. I was sitting up at the sacrament table, and Dan-o was on the bench in front of me (facing me) to pass…
