Hunting for Swim Features and of course the ole' Sports Action

Swimming. Lots of swimming. So I decided to narrow in on the races that would give me better images and then focus on swim features for a gallery. Came up with a couple that I really liked. What I also took from the meet is that these are the kids with no other sport for the most part. All shapes and sizes all skill levels compete at these swim meets. Everyone makes the team and it's really about a personal best and not beating the person next to you. I hope one day Swimming will get more coverage, it's a feel good sport and everyone likes to feel good. On another note it was humid as all hell in the Layton Surf N' Swim, good thing I had my trunks on underneath my jeans or I would have been roasted.

ISU vs. WSU

Back when I went to ISU I never went to a single football/basketball game or any other sporting event for that matter. You see I lived 50 miles away from the main campus and honestly didn't care much about sports back then. I covered my first ISU football game as an intern at the Post Register. So when I had the chance to run up to Poky and cover the game I didn't hesitate. Wish ISU had been better, a bit of an ass kicking really, and there was no tailgate party to be had on ISU's part. WSU had more tailgaters than ISU to be honest. Regardless, it was a great time and I throughly enjoyed myself.

Fresh View

Here's a couple more from the Mountain Air post. Figured I had to have people in at least some of them.

Mountain Air

Here are some senics I took up near the Eden/Huntsville area a while back. I felt like hell with a head cold but it was a blessing to get out into the mountain air and take some images.

Life into Death: A full circle

This little guy might not have much time left. His sister sits and watches movies with him often I'm told. While I was there with Karson he often smiled and had more life in his eyes than any baby I'd ever seen. He couldn't move much but everytime he did he caused me to smile. Best wishes to him and his family.

Guelph n' it up

Liked the angle on image one, it's one of the steeper steps I've seen in a while. Image 2 is a bit closer than most and I liked the hard horizontal. Oh and where the hell is the University of Guelph?

Honk 4 Holbrook

I don't know, it's not everyday I see actual politicans even low cailber ones stand out on street corners and hold honk signs.

Volleyball again

Thought it was a decent dig image. Always persuing that elusive port pic.

Me and ...

What can I say, I needed proof that I was there. Anybody could've taken the photos right? The second image was at the ISU vs. WSU game up in ID. I went to ISU so I always have Robert Casey take a picture of me with either the dancers or the cheerleaders. As for the top image as you probably already know I'm at the BYU/Utah game.

Strangers looking strange

Wierd people dressing up to serve dinner at the Rocky Mountain Picture Show in Ogden. I only had a few moments to capture some shots but I saw this guy and figured it might make for solid secondary art. I wanted an overview to run lede.

Zucca

This is a pretty fancy new food joint in S. Ogden. I had seen my old friend Kort Duce do an image similar to this years ago so I figured I'd give it a try. Oh, and no I didn't really drink the beer.

Bumps and Somersaults

More of the same volleyball really. Thought I caught this moment fairly well though. Also, I thought the cheerleader doing a somersault was hilarious seeing how they are usually doing all sorts of crazy shit in the air.

Imagine Ballet

It seems that every SE photog I know has shot this ballet company, this time it was my turn. The girls were really good and a lot of fun. Good color too.

Dinner with an AK-47

AK-47 has dinner at the Gateway Mall in SLC with a family that recieved the dinner as a present.

Rainy Day

I was out in Hooper and a leaf caught my car so I pulled over and shot it. Im thinking about starting a new project, very likely a sad project. We shall see. Anyways, here's to the fall of fall and likely the beginning of another gloomy winter.
